Want to dip your toes into backyard gardening on a very small scale. Check out this cool 4'x4' plan that's well thought out.

And don't forget, We can sell you small amounts of compost to make an even better start 🙂

Most gardeners leave half their raised bed underused by planting just a few crops. 🌱 A smart 4×4 grid changes that completely — letting you grow up to 20 crops in the same space, with each square producing more than once per season. The secret is simple but powerful: follow the north-to-south ...

Great compost starts with premium ingredients. We start them off right and take good care of them.

A neighbor took down a giant live oak tree a week ago and I took all the branches under 3 in in diameter. I've chipped them all into a windrow, and in this video I show you how I inoculate the pile with extract made of premium compost. The inoculation will bring millions of beneficial organisms into the pile and give it a head start on decomposition.

After this, I will let the pile sit for months, taking care to be sure it is always kept moist and never dry out.

After about 6 months, if the entire pile is at ambient temperature, I can use it straight on the garden as a bulk compost. Much of it however will be added to premium compost cages that are 1) thermophilic and are heated and turned or 2) carefully controlled, aerated, static piles (Johnson-Su bioreactors) that will continue to build massive fungal biomass over the next 12 months.

It may seem strange to many that fuel shortages have such an impact on the food supply, but crude oil and natural gas are the raw materials from which conventional fertilizers, such as urea, sulfur, and ammonium nitrate, are produced.

To say nothing of the fuel required to ship, till, plant, harvest, process, cool, and transport from seed to table.

​As growers and food systems thinkers, we are even more concerned about what this means for food security and long-term impacts on human health and survival, even if the conflict ends soon. This article from Purdue University's Center for Commercial Agriculture lays it out clearly:

“Tʜᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴜᴍᴇʀ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ ᴘʀɪᴄᴇ ʙᴜʀᴅᴇɴ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱʜᴏᴄᴋ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴇᴀꜱɪʟʏ ᴏᴜᴛʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴇᴏᴘᴏʟɪᴛɪᴄᴀʟ ꜱʜᴏᴄᴋ ɪᴛꜱᴇʟꜰ ʙʏ 12 ᴛᴏ 18 ᴍᴏɴᴛʜꜱ.”

​The World Food Program estimates that 318 million people are already experiencing acute hunger, and an additional 45 million people could face food insecurity by the end of 2026 if the conflict continues into mid-year.

​This is exactly the kind of moment that reminds us why 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙨𝙤𝙞𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮-𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝.

Our work together is not peripheral — it is essential.

Unlike a drought or crop disease, the current shock originates in geopolitics, spills into energy markets and propagates through every link of the food supply chain.

Important Update: Spring Season Pause 🌸

To our wonderful community: We have made the difficult decision to cancel our spring produce season.

Our lead harvester, Stephanie, has stepped away from the farm to provide 24-hour care for her father following a stroke. Family comes first, and we are focusing all our energy on supporting her during this recovery period.

However, the farm isn't totally quiet! Since I (the soil and compost guy) am still here on-site, we will have small quantities of our premium compost available for sale. If you are looking to give your own spring garden the best possible start, our nutrient-rich compost is ready for you.

Compost Pricing & Details:
• ​$10 if you bring your own 5-gallon bucket.
• ​$14 if we provide the bucket for you.

​We apologize for the lack of produce in your kitchens this season, but we’re happy to help your own backyard crops thrive in the meantime. We truly appreciate your grace and kind thoughts for Stephanie’s family.

​Interested in some liquid gold for your garden? Please send me a direct message here to coordinate a pickup time!
