Did you know that pollinators are responsible for 1 out of every 3 bites of food that you eat? We make sure to plant lots of flowers in our garden area to attract as many pollinators as possible. Bees aren’t the only pollinators- wasps, hummingbirds, flies, and bats all participate in this very necessary activity. They do this by transporting the pollen on their bodies from flower to flower, and also simply by vibrating the plant with their motion and shaking the pollen loose to be carried by the breeze. .

Samuel started a batch of eggs in the incubator today! These chicks will start laying right at the time when the days are getting longer in the spring. This has been by far the best incubator we have ever used. Previous batches have had a very high rate of hatching.

Bread and butter pickles are on today! 🥒

Handmade in small batches with cucumbers from kelly kingsland and onions fresh from our garden. Will be canning thousands of jars of pickles over the next few months to restock our inventory for local farmers markets, and stores!

Here is a quick how-to for trellising cucumbers. Keeping the suckers trimmed makes the harvesting so much easier!
Note: we did not realize what a huge difference the greenhouse would make in the growth of our cucumbers and we based the height of the frame on the height that our cucumbers normally get in our garden. We should have made this frame much taller! Next year, we will figure out a way to suspend something from the ceiling. We took this video a little over a week ago, and I will post an update in stories on how tall our cucumbers are now😜.

Stare down with the bulls on our way through the field🐂🤠. We were clearly trespassing😜

With our short, dry summers, we look for every way to extend our grazing season. This method has worked very well this summer to preserve the grass at its peak if the cattle don’t make it to that pasture before the grass is over mature.

Fall planting is underway! 🌱
Hannah started seeding our fall crops in this week.

Now that we have our greenhouse, we can plant later than ever before and direct seed instead of relying on transplants to beat the frost to the harvest. Over the next couple of weeks, we will plant carrots, beets, lettuce & spinach.

14 years ago we moved from Texas to Idaho- and immediately realized the necessity of a greenhouse for protecting our crops from frost and for season extension. Especially since our farm is in a low place that frosts frequently throughout the summer.

We could have built something quick and temporary, but we decided to wait until we could build exactly what we envisioned. Something strong enough for our winters, built right so we never have to build it again, and beautiful enough to inspire, especially since this greenhouse is being incorporated into a larger project that is going to facilitate hospitality, community, and connection on our farm. We can’t wait to share that with you!

After 14 years of planning and waiting... we finally did it!

Good things are worth waiting for, and this one was worth every year.

Who wants a tour?!

We finally have a greenhouse!

This means we can finally grow without fear of frost. No more covering the garden late at night to protect the crops from cold, or worse yet, waking in the morning to find tender plants burned by an unexpected frost.

With a greenhouse, we get to start earlier in the spring and keep harvesting well into fall. It will protect our tender crops from frost and wind, and also allow us to grow crops we’ve never been able to due to our cold climate, such as peppers, eggplant and tomatoes.

It’s a simple structure, but it changes everything. A longer growing season and more fresh food for longer.

We will post a video tour tomorrow!!

What could be better than a picnic by the pond, horse rides, and hand cranked, buttermilk raspberry ice cream with friends? Last night was a reminder of how important it is to slow down and enjoy these summer evenings. Summer will be over before we know it!
(It is so funny how our little pony Comanche likes to be in on the action and just follows along even when no one is riding him😂)
