I’m excited to start posting what is blooming across the season. It helps create an “online journal” of timing and gives you all an idea of what blooms on our farm week by week.

75 tomato plants.
20+ Heirloom varieties.
One very full heart. 🍅

Yesterday evening’s planting included everything from striped beauties to giant slicers, cherries, paste tomatoes, and all the beautiful oddballs in between. Every plant holds a little hope for summer and fingers crossed for baskets overflowing in a few short months.

Now we water, wait, and trust the process. 🌱✨

🇺🇸🌾 This Memorial Day, I pause with grateful heart to honor the heroes who never made it home, and hold deep gratitude for the families who carried that burden beside them. May we all live in a way that honors their legacy.

Land of the free, because of the brave. 🇺🇸

Earth Day 🌍 is a reminder the earth isn’t ours to own - only something borrowed for a little while. And if we’re honest, it deserves more respect than it’s been given. It’s not something to take from, but something to partner with. To listen to. To respect.

This work makes that clear.

Every flower and vegetable I grow is a small thank you. A way to give back - to pay respect - to acknowledge the intricacy, mystery and beauty of it all.

They made it. 🌱❄️

After months of snow, wind, and more doubt than I’d like to admit… the cool flowers are waking up. Strong. Alive. Ready.

This is your reminder: growth doesn’t always look like progress while it’s happening—but that doesn’t mean it’s not working.

Spring is coming… and they’re proof. 🌸 #
