The Farm at Oxford

Whether you eat meat or not - it is very important to watch what is happening in the meat industry.

Imports decimated the American cut flower industry 30+ years ago and American cut flower farmers are still in the minority today as a result. Where it used to be 80% american grown, now it is under 20% and many farmers still aren’t making enough to sustain themselves.

Once we start traveling heavily down an import path in agriculture- it is very hard for American farmers to recover.

As always, support your local farmers whenever you can & do it regularly!

The #1 peony planting mistake?

It’s not planting too deeply.

Or planting in spring vs fall.

It’s never planting them at all🌸😉

Peonies take time to become established and bloom their hearts out, but once they are, they will easily come back for decades - and this is the important part- with little effort on your part. They are a must plant for beginners AND experienced gardeners.

Plant them NOW (this fall!) and give yourself something to look forward to.

The ladies are outdoing themselves right now. Five days of shades of green eggs from the flock. These are all going to be olive eggers-mixed breeds typically made from breeding a blue egger to a brown egger. Fun fact- is sometimes when you crack the egg, you will see blue shell underneath the green bloom. Just a year ago I only had two green eggers and now I have so many beautiful ladies giving me these treasures. Happy Friday!
