Yesterday @racheljoyraggio lead the way and @apschlener and I helped to plant flowers in a few beds around the farm.
This is going to look amazing y’all. We are aiming to not only have the healthiest produce in #loudouncounty but the prettiest farm as well!
You should see the planting design that Rachel decided on — it looks amazing!

#nofilter yup, that’s right. Absolutely no editing was done to this photo - just a lot of hard work from the team. Thank you @racheljoyraggio @apschlener and @johanna5kh! You all make this place so amazing!

First tomatoes are in the ground! We have over 500 plants in the ground, quietly growing out what will be some of the best 🍅 in the #dc region.
We also have planted tons of lettuce, scallions, and bok choy, and today we plant more salad turnips and radishes. I can’t wait for all the goodness that is coming in just a few weeks!

@apschlener transplanting a bed of cilantro. After that, he planted lettuce and fennel. It’s so great having him on the farm! Today with the whole team working we were able to get so much accomplished!

The kale has really started growing quickly again with the increasing day length and higher temperatures. Even the color of the leaves turns a more vibrant shade of green to announce the imminent arrival of spring! We’ll have lots at @loudounfarmmkts leesburg. Come out and see us!

It’s exciting to be back at the @loudounfarmmkts!!! This market is very special to me. Back in 2014, I used to work for @kevinagrove and come sell at this market. A lot of good memories to remember and many new ones to make!
Thanks to @apschlener @johanna5kh @racheljoyraggio and #Beth for all your help!
I love having more space to keep my greens growing all winter long!
#wintergrowing #fourseasonfarming #notillfarmer #november #winter #cold #local #dc #vegetables
Well, we did it! We just put up another high tunnel at the farm and I could not do it without these two and a bunch of others.
I am just a bit late in posting this because I haven’t felt like doing much else while the project was going on. Trying to keep the farm going while undertaking such a large project is a lot of work and maybe just a little (read a lot) bit stressful 😬
But now that the two layers of plastic are on, I can breath just a little more. There is still plenty to do but now I can sleep at night even on the nights when the weather is gusty outside.
Thank you to @racheljoyraggio @apschlener @e.z.reiter @edgegrovefarm @redneck_hippie13 Tanner, Nikki, Brandon, and so many more for your help!

What are your favorite cold season veggies?

It’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re having fun! Side note: walking through the door, in and out of the greenhouse, never gets old. It always feels like you’re walking into a whole different world.
At this time of year we are busily flipping beds to eat them ready for fall/winter crops.

September days 😍. What is your favorite time of the year and why?
It’s hard for me to pick between spring and fall. I love the fall because you have beautiful days with the hint of the oncoming winter. These are the days that, as I work, I reminisce about the summer. Questions like, “What went well?” “What can I improve?” Go through my mind, and already now, I start to anticipate the coming spring that is half a year away. But it’s always filled with excitement-knowing I get to try this farming thing out yet another year!
Just a few more days until the farm dinner! I’m so excited to share the farm with those of you who can make it! Thank you all for all of your support!

If you haven’t had a chance to reserve your spot, there are still a few seats left. {link in bio}
For those of you who have wanted to come to a dinner but you’re already busy this weekend, DM me and I’ll make sure to let you know when our next dinner will be.
At some point in your life you should definitely try my brother @migranttable ‘s cooking. He inherited my mom’s skills in the kitchen:)
Had an amazing crew for our harvest yesterday! Thank you @johanna5kh @apschlener @larsen43

So...probably a lot of you are wondering where all the pictures are from the first @migranttable dinner here at the farm are. Well, due to the extreme heat wave that came through we decided to postpone it and schedule it for better weather.
Good news! The new date is August 24! We can’t wait to see you and hope you all can join us! I’m really excited as a farmer because all of my fall crops are getting planted and will be in nice straight rows (hopefully:) for you to see during the farm tour that evening!

Yesterday, we clipped all of the greens (browns😂) off of the onions and garlic and put them in dry storage. There is definitely a part of me that could have been a homesteader—living off the land. Tasks like these, while tedious, make me happy because I know that I’ll have “groceries” stored away for the weeks and months to come.

I’m glad I grew zinnias on the farm this year. Growing up, my mom taught me all about life and gardening.
This bed reminds her of me every time I pass it.

Thanks to all of your comments from a few posts back! @apschlener has decided to stay here in Virginia and help me continue creating this farm that I love more and more every day.
During this time, he has also decided to launch something that he has been dreaming of for years. He has started a supper club company called @migranttable
I couldn’t be more excited! He has a heart that puts others first and to tell you the truth has taught me so much about what it means to love through actions. I would not have been able to grow #rootandmarrowfarm without his loyal support, on good days and bad.
So, as his first event, we together with our good friends @walshfamilywine will be hosting a farm to table dinner here at the farm.
Folks, if you’ve been blessed by him like I have, or just have a desire to have the most amazing food ever in a beautiful setting with wonderful people...
I ask you please to come to this event! Please help me show him how much he means to me and you by helping me make this event a great success. I guarantee you will not be sorry!

It all started with a carrot...
Farming is tough work! You can prep the soil, plant the seed, cultivate, weed, water, monitor, and harvest, but if the soil is not in balance, or the weather is too harsh, or the pests are too prevalent, then you can lose the whole crop.
Sometimes though, everything works out!
Harvests like this baby carrot harvest always take me back to the first carrot I can remember pulling out of the ground, running over to the hose to wash off, and eating right then and there. It’s an experience that has kept the passion of growing things in me year after year.
This season has not been whiteout it’s struggles, but through all of them, God continues to bless the farm and give me a sense of peace, that I am where I am supposed to be. And you can’t put a price tag on that!

Trying out peas this year. I’m really hoping they work out because these are one of my favorite spring veggies!

Edible Flowers — I love edible flowers! When I was 6 years old I started my first garden which had mostly flowers. I expanded until I was growing a variety of vegetables and flowers. Now, I love growing edible flowers to blend my love of all things green. The taste of this nasturtium is amazing- peppery with a hint of sweet!

Never a dull moment on the farm with @apschlener around! Settle a bet for us. Comment how good you think his Australian accent was on a scale of 1-10. I think he nailed it! What do you think @regrarians @southamptonhomestead @max_brearley @stellarviolets @byrnjaoel ?
