Hopeful for baskets full of seasonal flowers and produce to share with our family and community.

We finally have some tomatoes to share! Honestly, we're not sure how we ended up with this smaller size again when we were sure we planted plenty of nice big beefsteak types this year...was the seed packet wrong? Were we wrong?? No one knows. But if you like to snack on golf ball sized tomatoes from some local chaos gardeners who never use pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, we've got you covered.

Oh! And we have fresh wildflower bouquets and eggs too. 😁

Well hello! It's been a season since I've posted any updates on here, but we are back! The cut flower garden is providing lovely blooms, the cucumbers are coming in nicely, and the eggs are at a surplus!

I was all set to have chocolate chip cookies on the stand today as well, but I quickly learned that dark brown sugar is not an equal substitute for light brown sugar...at least when trying to meet the cookie standards I have set for myself. 😅

But baked goods will make a comeback soon! Stay tuned! 🩷🧺

❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️

We decided to have a little Farmstand Valentine Market this weekend!

We have eggs, cookies, cookie gift boxes (3 cookies in each,) and our latest addition: hand carved wooden spoons!

🥄These spoons, ladles, and spatulas (and occasional forks) are all hand carved from trees from our property and finished with either mineral oil or bee's wax.

Come support Peter's latest hobby and give your Valentine a spoon! 🤭😁🩷

We'll keep it stocked until dusk tonight, and put out whatever we have left tomorrow as well.

Enjoy the sun and be careful on the ice!

( Venmo and cash accepted at the stand)

Only 8 more sleeps 'til Christmas! 🎄🌟

I have a couple small gift boxes filled with molasses cookies (a generations old family recipe!) and sugar cookies! I'll place them on the stand now! Great for gifting, sharing, or eating yourself while watching your favorite Christmas movie. No judgement here. 😁

The snowplow didn't take out the farmstand, so I guess we'll try something new this year! 😁🙌

I love to forage for greenery and make my own wreaths and swags at Christmastime, and this year I made a few extra! Stop by the stand and grab yours!

There may be more to come if I can transfer my assembly setup indoors 🥶

I'm always amazed at how long these evergreens last outdoors! I've never used them to decorate indoors, but I have heard that misting them with some water occasionally will keep them from drying out.

Enjoy the snow and stay warm as we prepare for Christmas; with great anticipation, joy, and hope. 🎄🌟❄️
