on this most marvelous of days
the earth is the one we praise
today and everyday

today we harvested nettles

here to nourish
and commune
to tune of the clear blue
and the darkest of nights
we set our sites
in the now
while facing this ever present future
to come
with an abundance of love 💞
and gratitude to ourselves
and all the beings
that grace this earth

we are grateful for the opportunity to invest into the creation that is life

What an honor it was to play and inoculate all the mushrooms day after the lunar eclipse
what a sight that was
for our sore eyes
the worm moon 🪱
was bloody
we got all together in the sunshine
outside in the southside
with the majestic setting of the beach
right by our side
what a lovely and divine thyme
to learn about the magic of mycelium 🍄
coming together and spreading the spores
for all of us to learn more
if you’d like more
we’re here to answer at the door
thank you to our elders
thank you to the kids
thank you to all present

Come one, come all.. my dears, my loves
✴️ Farmstand is tomorrow 4-7pm 🤗

The trees are falling over themselves trying to get our farm-fresh organic produce. Walk, roll, bike, run.. whatever you gotta do to secure some yummy greens! 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃‍♀️

We've been busting b***y prepping fields and planting the seeds... and what an abundance to share! 🥕🥕🥕

We have had our fair share of setbacks with the fire, trees falling, stolen power generator and power tools, and just yesterday our wheelbarrows, tool boxes, and hand tools being stolen. People pulling up with angle grinders- busting into our shipping container and ransacking our cooler.. but we are still here!! 💪🏾💪🏾

So come share in this abundance that won't falter ✨️✨️

Also this Thursday is volunteering at Patchwork 4-7pm .. see you all soon:)

Vernal Equinox Blessings 🌞

🥕 We are ready to announce the release of our 2024 CSA sign ups! 🥦

Link in our Bio

The Sun’s rays have officially crossed the northern hemisphere which means
The spring peepers are singing 🐸
The seeds have been sown and we’re ready for community 💜

🌕 This is about to be our lucky number 13th growing season 💫

💐 Our 23 week CSA is a journey we take together as a community 💛

Our mission is to connect community to sliding scale good food, safe accessible green spaces, and nature based education in our urban ecosystem.
We promote our native being to the best of our abilites 🦋

We’ll have roots, greens,and fruity tooties seasonally available 🌽 🫑 🍅 🍆
And bulk honey at farm-stand 🍯

After 13 seasons we are grounded in the truth that is, without y’all there is no us.
We are committed to sustaining and living in harmony with the good life that exists here in this crazy beautiful part of the world.

So we cannot possibly express how grateful we are for all the support year in and year out, but just know these veggies are growing much more than meets the eye.

We aim to ramp up our programming with many workshop and opportunities to learn and grow with us, which in large part is made possible by our CSA 🍄 🌹 ❤️

We promote a healthy inclusive regenerative farming and community resilience ✊🏾🫶🏾 ✌🏾🐣
