Spring arrives in usual Montana fashion with both sun, snow, and mud all at the same time. The microgreens and seedlings don't mind as they are kept warm and cozy in the cabin and cool room. The hens don't mind since they get to wander in the sunshine more often than before. Besides there are a lot of yummy bugs hding in that thawing mud! If you need eggs and microgreens, I will be at the usual place at the usual time (Friday at Fireman's Park parking lot from 12-1230pm) The online store is in it's beta testing phase and I hope to have it fully operational next week! In the meantime, message or email me to reserve anything! And let's give each other lots of space, it's a big state with room for all of us! Where to find it all?

While so much happens in the world, the farmers continue farming. In a few weeks, we will begin to have more and more fresh, healthy food available to the community. Right now I am very envious of the hens and ducks, who have a blissful life without the cares or worries of the world. As everything unfolds and new information comes in, I hope to help feed my community not only with fresh, healthy, local veggies but also fresh, beautiful, local flowers. It is as important to stay mentally and emotionally healthy as it is to stay physically healthy and flowers can do a lot to help! I know many in the community have come to know me for my flowers, but I always keep those veggies around and growing! Know that me and your other local farms are here to help keep our community food secure and more resilient during times of change or chaos. (It's why I started farming in the first place) Currently, I will be continuing my weekly deliveries on Fridays so ya'll can have access to fresh microgreens and eggs. Feel free to let me know if you would like me to set items aside for you and I can have them already bagged up and ready to go. ![]() Just before the storm came, this little floofer showed up on the porch and seemed to want to come in, eat a little, and hang out. Never seen her before but she definitely enjoys outside more than inside, so I let her free and she ran off to her real home. It was nice to have a little visitor. Hella kitty did NOT like it though! ![]() Food safety has always been something I've taken seriously. I don't only grow veg for myself but also for my community. My hands are the only ones that touch this food and wash and sterilize the surfaces, tools, and equipment so I know when and how it gets done. If you have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to ask! What's available this week?
The main seed starting area is bursting at the seams with flats of seeds waiting to germinate, seedlings growing strong, and ones waiting for the soil to be ready, thus the micros had to make way. Now they are in the cool room, which has been converted with a basic heater and some lights into a tiny growing room (some of those seedlings will also end up here). The hens are still enjoying every little bit of sun and warmth they can get, especially since it's gonna get cold for a while. Hella continues to shun the wet muddy world outside in favor of the sunny spots in the dry, warm house. And I continue to putter away organizing and prepping the 15-20 different projects that pop up during the week and that need to be done before the 'real' farm work of prepping soil, planting, and harvesting gets underway. Even if it's raining or hailing, I'll be at the Fireman's Park parking lot on Friday from 12-1230 with lots of duck egg (be sure to check out the recipe for creme brulee), rainbow eggs, and fresh tasty microgreens. What's available this week?

The winter egg/microgreen delivery is every Friday from 12-1230pm at the Fireman's Park Parking Lot. I'll be there rain, snow, shine, or freeze! The hens get to roam and range early, much to their delight! The preparation for spring begins, repairs get made, and the parts to repair and rebuild the tunnels are on their way! So many projects on the go at one time makes it feel like both everything and nothing gets done. Stop by Fireman's Park this Friday from 12-1230 to get your eggs and microgreens. The meyer lemons are all gone, but will return in April! What's available this week?
