We were gifted two very tiny seeds a couple of years ago, and I miss placed them. I finally found them this spring. I am absolutely excited about how beautiful these are.

Butt nuggets 😍. It seems like it has been a while since we have had a batch of meat chickens on the farm. It really hasn't been, but so much has happened since our last batch. All good things going on here. These will be ready sometime in the middle of June.

No chemicals
No hormones
No vaccines
No antibiotics

It's just good tasting meat. The way it was meant to be. Message me if you would like to place an order.

Mayberry, our farm pup, loves these morning brushings. If you see me covered in fur, it was because I just finished a session with this beautiful girl. She is a superstar! Part anatolian shepherd and part maremma sheep dog. She melts our hearts 💝.

We decided to grow sweet potatoes as a ground cover last year. The biggest reasoning was to manage the deer if at all possible.

We had tried growing sweet potatoes in the past, and the deer would just mow them down. I mean as soon as that beautiful sea of green was lush bam! They would mow it down! It was a huge frustration. We tried all types of deterrents, and nothing worked in the long term.

Right after starting our food forest, we had major concerns about how to keep the deer from eating our very precious plants. At the same time, we were thinking about what to plant as a ground cover. Well, sweet potatoes popped into our discussions.

No brainer! Let's grow them as a ground cover in the food forest as a sacrificial plant.

The deer never came.

We harvested more sweet potatoes than we could have dreamed of. The plants were stunning. The pollinators loved the flowers, so did I! We have had yummy sweet potatoes to eat for the past 7 months.

We left all of the plant's foliage and vines to die off naturally and left lots of the sweet potatoes in the ground

We were thinking they would feed the soil we have been working so hard to build. We were hopeful and believed we would see some pop back up in the spring.

Spring is here, and we have seas of sweet potato vines spreading all along the food forest floor.
It is a beautiful site to see this type of sustainability.

We hope to share these sweet treats with you in the fall.

From seed to this in just 21 days. San marzano tomatoes, the package said start indoors 6-8wks before the last frost date. These are going to be trees by 6-8 wks 😅. I am going to need more space to up pot these again.

With the freezing temps recently and the hard freeze coming in a few days, it is nice to see these beautiful, happy, warm plants thriving under my care. Almost everything outside has been damaged or is dormant. I don't like the heat but definitely look forward to the warmer months for the sake of the plants. 😊
