Spring Greening

The farm is coming alive! Planting potatoes, seeding, potting up baby plants, rhubarb unfurling, garlic emerging, new plot just got its 1x plush, and the winter rye, clover and vetch are putting on growth.

We put up two new bird houses today in hopes of attracting nesting bluebirds, house wrens, or tree swallows! They are 25ft feet apart, about 5ft tall, and the nesting holes are facing the tree line brush for when the fledglings are ready to fly. The metal poles dont allow other animals to climb up so the babies are safe from predators. We are aiming to encourage diversity here on the farm and also help with pests on the farm. More farm updates to come!

My little seeding nook. Reconnecting with the light and air. This is a sacred place - the birthplace of the farm.

And here we begin again. First seeds have been sown of 2026! I seeded carrots in our high tunnel. It doesn't quite feel real but its happening.

Winter came early and fast this year and seems to be long lasting. It has felt like one of the darkest winters in years offering time for profound hibernation. And this forest and I have been spending deep time together. Many of you know I underwent an intense 6 day regiment of chemotherapy in the hospital in order to completely wipe out my immune system so that I could be re-infused with my own stem cells on day 7. In total I spent a little over a month in the hospital - disconnected from fresh air, light, and earth. There is a lot of processing to move through both in body and mind but I am grateful to feel such a meaningful connection to my work as a farmer, fused with this land through food and a part of this incredible community of humans.

A theme of this winter has been learning to suffer well which in our world today is an important skill to develop. For me this means learning to focus on a slow, steady conscious breath, practicing routine and ritual, exercising any amount, observing small moments in nature, and closing my eyes and remembering how the earth holds us - a light breeze on a warm day, the smells of fresh carrots from the soil, or the beauty of fresh water moving as a river. Suffering well also involves welcoming with open arms the love of others, allowing love in even though our culture doesn’t always support it. It's also helpful to recognize that everything transforms in time and using a calendar to mark sections of time allows the mind to not feel as overwhelmed. And finally the act of practicing gratitude for what we do have has a powerful impact as we move through tough times. As the weeks go by and I get further and further from my treatments I am slowly getting stronger, more active, and reawakening to the vibrancy of life. It has been a true reintegration into the natural world from the hospital. Let us all breathe fully, practice gratitude, and feel the growing light as we move toward the summer solstice.

The fierce, tenacious winds of deep Fall are upon us and a lot of life has changed in my small world. Although change is a constant, we are not always conscious of the tiny movements around us. It's been what feels like a lifetime since I have posted. We had several frosts the past few weeks beginning the sweetening process of the parsnips, spinach, kale, and carrots. The frosts have also started to kill off most of the flowers, any annual weeds, and the summer cover crops leaving shades of browns, golds, and maroons for us to rest in. 

Another change is that we took down what used to be a small barn for chickens in order to make room for more gardens and a gravel parking lot. This will allow us to expand our CSA program, host educational events, and community gatherings. 

Our greenhouses have been flipped to cover crops and hardy winter greens and spring onions. We planted our garlic too, both a celebration of the end of the season and for the first crop for 2026.

Finally, I write with heavy news. After a short time of being in remission, my lymphoma cancer has returned and I have been undergoing chemotherapy for about two months now. Once again two worlds collide - one of beauty surrounded by natural colors of the marigolds, blue skies, sunshine on my skin, the emerald green of the winter rye, the smell of a freshly pulled carrot, the deep breath of cold morning air, the satisfying use of a garden rake on a freshly composted bed - contrasted with a sterile world of IV medicines, swirling warm white blankets, beeps and clicks, repeating name and birthday, utter exhaustion, and a plethora of other side effects for weeks to come. 

And this collision of worlds is a reminder of how much the earth grounds and uplifts me simultaneously, how the people in my community are truly caring and generous, and that change and transformation is necessary for all life. It's the good and the bad. Nothing is ever in one state for too long like the passing of the clouds on a windy November day. Let us be present with our breath and our goodness.
