The past few years have reminded us how connected our food system is to events happening thousands of miles away.

A shipping lane closes. Fertilizer prices rise. Fuel costs jump. Suddenly the cost of producing food changes for farmers everywhere.

It’s a reminder that local farms aren’t just places that grow food.

They’re part of a community’s resilience.

When farmers, ranchers, processors, markets, restaurants, and customers work together, communities are better able to weather uncertainty and keep food moving close to home.

Not because we can grow everything ourselves.

But because every region is stronger when it can produce more of what it needs.

That’s part of what we’re building at The Ground @ Tabula Rasa Farms.

Here’s a short post built from your words:

Some things you only see if you show up.

There is a real beauty out here that can only be glimpsed by those who take the time to venture into the pastures — to be with the animals, to form a relationship. This photo was taken by someone who lives on this farm. Someone who shows up every day.

We don’t take that for granted.

Farming teaches you something every season. That’s not poetry — it’s just the job.

One of our ongoing lessons has been turkeys. Hitting the 14-16 pound finished weight our customers actually want. It sounds simple. It isn’t. Getting a pasture-raised bird to land consistently in that window takes more intention than most people realize.

So this year we made a change. Signature Broad Breasted Blacks from Meyer Hatchery…a slower-growing bird that gives us better control over finished weight.
116 poults arrived this week.

This is what the beginning of Thanksgiving looks like.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🍗🦃

Grocery store potatoes are bred to survive shipping.

Ours are grown in regenerative soil we’ve been building for a decade…because nutrient density starts underground, long before the plant does.
Eight varieties went in this week: golds, reds, purples, fingerlings. Planted in trenches, hilled as they grow.

Watch for them in your garden share, .love and on the plate .love

Calving season is here. New lives on the ground, wobbly legs finding their footing, and mamas doing what mamas do. There’s nothing quite like this time of year on the farm. Welcome to the world, little ones. 🐄

Right now at The Ground at Tabula Rasa Farms, you’ll find cattle, chickens, and pigs sharing the same pasture.

Different species, each doing what they’re meant to do — fertilizing the soil, managing pests, supporting the health of the land beneath them.

This is one of the ways we practice regenerative farming: improving soil health, breaking parasite cycles, keeping the pasture productive. The result is meat that’s as nutrient-dense as it is deeply flavorful.

Different animals. One pasture. All working together.

If you’ve been curious about where your meat comes from and how it’s raised, this is a good place to start. Links in bio.

Roots before Flowers.
Scotch broom puts on a gorgeous show every spring — and then quietly takes over. It spreads fast, crowds out native plants and trees, and doesn’t give ground without a fight.

On a regenerative farm, that matters. Healthy soil starts with what’s growing on it. Removing invasives isn’t just tidying up…it’s giving beneficial plants the room, light, and resources to do their work.
Diligence. Timing. The right tools. That’s what it takes to keep the balance.

Morning light rests on the coastal hills, and the animals step into it without hurry. In their quiet way, they remind us—this is enough….sun, breath, and the simple grace of being here.
