This farmer is back farming which means I'm back weekly at the & kicking off this celebratory season with a June Jamboree Bingo!

Pick up this free bingo card at the market booth then shop the best outdoor grocery store around with inspected, locally grown & sourced nummies. The vendor will sign off & it's that simple.

Get the classic vertical, horizontal or diagonal marks by August 5th & be entered to win a bag full of goodies OR better yet, hold onto that card & aim for a blackout which gets you entered for a special special something.

Have questions, come see me under the TN orange canopy or find me rolling around on rollerskates in overalls 💚

Where have I been for two weeks? Not on social media that's for sure but still documenting agricultural adventures like visiting the farmers market!

When my longtime Masshole friend J9 was coming to Georgia for her niece's graduation, we made plans to coordinate our coordinates. She is such a good friend that she even found the farmers market (where I'm usually to tour guide) as she knows how important it is to me to support local.

Even with the wet weather, the vendors & customers showed which means it's a well-loved market.
They're in full swing so check em out every Saturday from 8a-noon & snag you:
cool concoctions
crusty gooey goodness
herbaceous gorgeous plants
cukes & carrots
Buffalo beef sticks
coffee (so good just black) &acres (great name) broc & beets!

💚 No matter where you find youself, discover ways to support the local economy & even better if it's supports local agriculture too. And yes, Jeanine had to pull me outta there.

What my brain looks like-- colorful, creative, cluttered yet organized just like my pantry. I've been moving us back to the farm the past few weeks & redesigning our 40ft construction trailer into a more proper tiny home.

Removing Robert's office completely to make it a bedroom that includes both of our wardrobes. Moving some of his office into my pantry & reworking the half bath to a full bath utilizing a watering trough.

This is why I haven't been social or slacked on emails cause it's hard to sit down & type when you're constantly packing & moving. It's also why I haven't been to the in weeks because I realized I couldn't do it all.

You can do anything but you can't do everything.

But alas the end of the rainbow is here, even with all this rain. We are solidly living back on the farm & I couldn't be happier! Just in time to reclaim the fields, the orchard & get back to fulltime canning.

I scored some stunning local eggs from my neighbor Cindi-- check her biz out to keep her chicken side hustle going :).

That to say I can make a small batch of pickled eggs so what flavor should I restock? I've only got nine dozen which will make about 8 pints.

💚OG with dill & garlic
🧡Old Bay Leaf
💛Mustard Turmeric
❤️Sriracha-cha-cha
💙Soy Joy
🤎Bangin' BBQ

I'm kinda leaning towards Bangin' BBQ with grilling season right around the corner. They are one of my newest flavors & were so good in chicken salad, deviled or just straight up.

Let it be known that thy chariot is damn near immaculate on this day. It didn't even last the day.

Growing relationships is just as important in creating a sustainable environment & I need more of this lady in my life!

Padgett, co-owner of Sequatchie Cove Creamery & former VP to my Prez of the Main Street Farmers Market | Chattanooga, TN for four years, is such a bright spirit (she even created a glare in our pic cuz she's so sunshiny)!

From TN & with a rich history in farming, her stories are priceless. Note to eryone-- Delicata squash is thee best so get it on your plate when it's in season, just like Hungry Mother did & I got the very last one til next time!

Not only does she have the best laugh & smile, she is a great mom, wife, friend & more! Go to her website to see how you can get her goods cause when you buy from small businesses, you make happy faces happen in small town streets 🙃

Living off the farm for the past six months has felt surreal & I am ready to be free-range again! We move back May 1st, just in time to open the pool & get ready for a big blueberry harvest.

I have been enjoying some off-farm shenanigans like playing with Chattanooga Roller Derby again. We had our first home game last weekend & check me out going airborn right at the whistle to score four points!

It's been an urban adventure however, my cityfied body is aching to be back at farm work hauling large loads, moving machines, canning local yummies & getting my fingers dirty.

What's something you do at your job that you absolutely love or makes you feel like an allstar?
