Sep 11 • Garden/Farm Pictures!
The Griffin Family Farm
Like Taylor mentioned in his post, we’re launching our farm this next season. We bought our house back in 2019, but at the time we weren’t gardeners or farmers at all. I had a few potted plants—that was it.
During COVID, with all the extra time at home, we finally started exploring our yard. It’s funny now to think about how unaware we were of the space around us. That first season, I started seeds and Taylor dug out one garden bed and built two raised beds. We grew some great tomatoes, and that was the spark. Around that same time we discovered JADAM and Floret, and a dream started forming—to combine natural farming with flower farming.
In 2022, we had to move away for work and rented out the house (the pictures are from that 2022 season). Since then, we’ve been gardening as renters while also running our YouTube channel. But now we’re finally moving back home in November, and I couldn’t be more excited to restore the soil and start growing again.
Before we left, we applied JMS, JLF, and cover crops, so I’m really curious to see what shape the soil is in after three years of rest.
I also have so many questions about sustainable flower farming that I’m looking forward to exploring this coming year. Flower farmers often rely heavily on bleach and chemicals to keep blooms fresh. I’m eager to experiment with natural alternatives like LAB, OHN, and FPJ.
This past season, I started all our seeds using a soak solution of LAB, OHN, FPJ, and BRV—and the germination rates were incredible. From now on, that’s the only way I’ll be starting seeds.
Excited for this group!
