First gen farmer growing vegetables in VA. Find me at the West Point Farmers Market

The cherry tomato mix is starting to get some variety! This is my favorite, yellow pear- purely because of their funny shape and how their stems look like little hats 🍐

I'll be at the market at Rich Earth Farm this evening from 3pm to 7pm

Milford VA

And West Point Farmers Market tomorrow, Saturday, from 8am to noon

Hey y'all, I won't be at any markets this weekend (I have to be at work 😔)

But! Its National Farmers Market Week, so I wanted to urge you to visit a market this weekend!

These are some flowers in my native prairie garden that I started this year, with help from Martha at Magnolia Marsh Farm Nursery

1. Brown-Eyed Susan with a Pearl Crescent Butterfly
2. Calico Aster, named for the tri-colored flowers: purple, yellow, and white
3. Obedient Plant; these are so cool- you can gently bend the stems and they stay in place, hence their name
4. 'Rosy Jane' Gaura, also known as Beeblossom or Wandflower

You can find Martha and her plants (as well as other great vendors!) at the market at Rich Earth Farm

Fridays from 3pm to 7pm

Hey y'all, happy Saturday!

I'm at the West Point Farmers Market this morning until noon, and I've got cherry tomatoes, kale, green onions, and fresh rosemary! 🥬🍅🌿

I also have dried rosemary, and of course muffins: blueberry orange or chocolate chip

And I have free stickers back in stock!

This is my favorite farm story this week

Our dogs accidentally trampled this toad about two weeks ago. I let them outside in the morning without really looking, and there was a toad sitting on the porch right in front of our door

I found him 10 minutes later when I went to get the dogs; he couldn't seem to use his back legs, and when I picked him up he was completely limp. I didn't have it in me to put him out of his misery, so I carefully placed him in the garden near a soaker hose so he wouldn't dry out

When I checked in later he was gone. I wondered if he moved on his own, or if a snake got him

A few days later, I found him hiding further down the garden bed. He wasn't very mobile but his legs seemed to be healing (second picture)

I found him again today, and his legs are nearly healed! He's not super quick, but he's able to hop, so I think he'll be okay 😊

I hate that I have to write this post.

Please do not use my farm's name, logo, or branding in AI content

As some of you know, I went to art school before I wound up growing vegetables. I personally designed and drew all of branding: my logo, business cards, price tags, and labels... I even handpainted my banner that I put up at some events. I meticulously curate my setup at markets, down to having pink coolers to match my logo

That being said, I don't want generative AI to have access to my branding to be able to replicate it poorly; both in terms of someone wanting similar branding for their own business, and because I dont want my farm to be represented badly to my customers

Also, as a farmer, I'm of course against the environmental impacts of generative AI. Why waste the energy on having an AI engine try to create a version of my logo, when I could just give you the actual logo for your flyer?

I understand that there are virtually no protections or regulations on AI usage, and I can't stop people from doing this, but I hope that if you know me you will be respectful

I'm at West Point Farmers Market today until noon with green beans, cabbage, cucumbers, okra, collards, and green onions

I didn't have quite enough cherry tomatoes to fill a pint this week, but they are on the way!

I've also got dried oregano and rosemary, and muffins

Hey everyone, I'm coming down with a cold so I won't be at any markets this weekend. I'll miss seeing y'all at Rich Earth Farm and West Point!

I'll be back at West Point next Saturday, June 27th (hopefully with some of these green beans!)

06/03/2026

Happy Wednesday y'all! Halfway through the week!

This weekend I'll be at on Friday, June 5th from 3pm to 7pm and West Point on Saturday June 6th from 8am to noon

🌤🥬🫜 The veggie forecast is looking like kale, arugula, and radishes, with a chance of green onions and chard. I'll also have dried rosemary, oregano, and possibly sage. And of course our fresh baked muffins!

And the weather forecast is looking nice and clear as well! Come out and enjoy the weekend while you shop!

So grateful for the spring rain even though its arrived late! The weather this weekend is perfect for planting out the next round of arugula 🌱

As a reminder, my next markets are on Friday, June 5th and West Point on Saturday, June 6th

The plants will be soaking in the rain and enjoying a week off!

Peppers coming to West Point tomorrow!!

I'll have jalapeños, habaneros, shish*tos, and maybe a few green bell peppers 🌶🫑

And I'd like to show off this little pepper box I built today! Folks often ask if they can buy just one or two jalapeños instead of a carton of them, so I built this to offer mix and match peppers
