A little farm update post:

A little over a month ago, I (Brittany), had a stress induced heart attack. Thankfully my prognosis is really great even though it was the most terrifying event of my life.

This has led us to re-evaluate the things we have going on especially the amount of things I handle on the farm. Hence why we sold our sheep a few weeks ago.

What does this mean for the farm? Well, right now other than reducing animals, nothing is changing. I still hope to offer flowers, produce, eggs and honey and do the King Farmers’ Market and select events. We will be taking the rest of the fall/winter/early spring off of events while we determine if we need to make any other changes.

One thing I’m learning is that you don’t have to do it all, and if you started something that is no longer bringing you joy, there is no shame in pivoting away from that. Let people say what they will, you deserve to put yourself and your physical and mental health first!

Thanks for being our community and we hope to see y’all in the spring!!

Swallowtail caterpillars on my bronze fennel!
They’re the exact reason I planted this! It’s so neat to see how when you make a little room for Mother Nature, she shows up and blows your mind!

It’s a bittersweet day on the farm; Oaks, Willow, Magnolia and Waylon headed off this morning for their new pastures .
They will join several other sheep, a donkey, a pony and lots of Highland cattle. While the goodbye was certainly difficult and will leave a hole in our hearts, we are thankful they are going to such an amazing new home where they will have so much space to run and be loved.

Heirloom mums are my new favorite flower.
These give you nearly two weeks of vase life and bloom prolifically until the first hard frost. Highly recommend!!

Ok local friends, I need your help.

I’m under doctor’s orders to simplify my life and reduce stress. Part of that requires finding these 4 lovely creatures a new home. They are 3 babydoll sheep (ewe and wether pair 3yrs old and ewe 2yr old) and a Great Pyrenees LGD who is 15 months old and neutered.

Please share and send to anyone you know interested in these animals.

Thank you!!!

We’re looking to find a new home for our 3 babydoll sheep and our LGD. Message me if interested.

The flowers have really started showing off and our subscribers got the best flowers we’ve had so far this season!

Thankfully I was able to harvest these before this mini heat wave comes in, goodbye false fall, as they may take a little break. But the plus side is the warmer weather keeps the killing frost away and it wouldn’t surprise me to have blooms for another 4-6 weeks.

Another day, another counter full of tomatoes (and three kinds of peppers)!
It’s felt like our garden was behind this year but now everything is coming in beautifully!
And we have 6 large, orange pumpkins and 9 small, white pumpkins growing too.

This has been a very trying summer in many ways so finally seeing some fruits of our labor is very fulfilling.

What are you harvesting?
