The compensation this farm member required for sitting in the sun to take this comparison photo may not be worth what we can profit off this log.
Regardless, this is just one of the few BIG cedars we currently have at the farm.
One of these logs is going to be used for a desk top.

Tank doesn't really care how they get used, as long as he can go back in and the AC is working.

It's National Farmers Market Week!

One incredible trend I've observed is an increase in consumers wanting to visit and buy from their local farmers markets. We love going for some of our favorite local products.

I hope this post can serve as a way to connect more producers, crafters, bakers, and creators with our community.
Tag your products or your favorite products below, along with the details on which market they can be found in. Be sure to tag the market page, as well!

And for those that haven't gotten to set up at a market yet, still tag your business below.

‼ ATTENTION all new or soon to be farmers ‼ (or for anyone that wants to read a story).

One thing about me (Jessica), if I care about something or something has impacted me significantly, I'll probably never miss an opportunity to share about it.
In 2022, literally the week we moved into our home and farm, we learned about the Alabama Ag Credit JumpStart grant. With a week away until the deadline, I spent about 80 hours in that week creating a farm plan to submit in the first year of the grant.

A few weeks later, I was already spending time doing what I love- working all day in my garden. It was hot. It was sunny. It was perfect.
At some point, I check my phone to see how many calls I had missed, and I had a voicemail from someone with Alabama Ag asking me to call them back. I was so nervous.
When I called Andrew back, he told me that we were one of the 5 recipients of the grant. I LITERALLY dropped my phone in my garden. Everything in me was shaking from disbelief and happiness.
I fell to my knees. To this day, that was one of the happiest days of my life.

What I didn't know that we had won was new friendships, great memories, lasting contacts, and opportunities to learn and to get to know some incredible people.
The following summer we were able to attend the Alabama Coop Couple's conference where we were voted to be a host couple the summer after that. I was able to speak to the second round of winners at their reception event where Kaylee got to see her mom (largely pregnant with twins) stand on a stage and share her heart.

My rather well-written farm plan (if I may say so myself) didn't quite go the way we had anticipated thanks to an untimely machine fire- not that any machine fire is per say "timely." But that grant gave us the chance to live off the farm we had built at the time to help reshape us and our vision for our farm, therefore bringing us to where we are today.

I never would have imagined that we would have been one of the winners- seriously. I'm glad I didn't give into my doubt. If you're new farmers or planning to start a farm, I highly recommend taking the time to apply. You REALLY have no idea what could happen!

Enjoy a trip down memory lane with me. And for any new farmers, I'll put the link to the application site in the comments.
