First outdoor market of the season! Carrots, asparagus, lettuce mix, turnips, spinach, green garlic, cilantro, and eggs. All the makings of a beautiful Mother’s Day brunch.

Psssst! Very special asparagus drop this morning. We won’t be at the final Silverton winter market today as we prepare for our first outdoor market of the season, NEXT Saturday, 5/9. Swing by our Grab ‘n Go cooler in the meantime for some pasture-raised eggs and fresh-picked asparagus, the powerful spring combo. Does asparagus picked under full-moon beams make your p*e smell like magic? Let’s find out. Aaaaand, we’ve still got a few CSA spots remaining. Is one of them for you? Shares begin early June. Don’t wait to jump on board! Link in bio for more info and to sign up.

Reposting this as a post, b/c I’m an elder millennial and don’t really understand the reel/feed relationship. We’ll be at market today with asparagus, turnips and greens! Come say hi, talk shop, join our CSA. The season is upon us and we’re filled with seedlings, and hope! Thank you Silverton.

"Revision is decay. It is the acknowledgment that most of the work happens underground...Our myths must have root systems they can sink back into to revitalize the soil, reemerging with the magic particularly suited for this age of ecological chaos...These mythic eruptions are the moments when a culture senses the need to spread, to find new food, to shift direction. They are reproductive flourishes...Our bodies, it turns out, are swarms of aliveness, composed of microbes and fungi, metabolically dependent on plants and animals for sustenance, and wildly, generatively entangled with our landscapes and communities. And these bodies - our bodies - are suffering. Men. Women. And every sacred expression in between. Patriarchy's monolithic vision of the masculine is bad for everyone and terrible for our ecosystems. But patriarchy is not the only narrative...we are matryoshka dolls of being, simultaneously composed of worlds and constituting larger worlds, systems that can be understood only in their connective plurality, rather than when broken down to parts...Our relationships, our webs of kinship, are what will save us as we confront climate change...that invisible connective tissue that creates a living, breathing world drawing kinship between flora and fungi and fauna into focus."
- Excerpt from The Flowering Wand, by Sophie Strand.

During the warmest March on record, under an incompetent and violent federal regime, while holding dearly to the abundance of blossoms and seeds and community, we've been balancing: between hope and despair, work and rest, tending and building, self-care and collaboration. The beginning of a gentle crescendo, our work oscillates amidst the cozy confines of the greenhouse, sunny-day field clean-up, tedious tunnel cultivation, and the deep satisfaction of tending to the forest. The earth is the connector. Our choices, our sustenance, our attention and empathy, our willingness to nurture complexity and diversity, all shape our future. We are grateful to be on this journey with you. Please visit our website, find us at market, grab some goodies from the cooler at Little Leaf Cafe. Join our CSA. Drop us a note. Thank you!

Hey Friends - just popping in on the new year to remind everyone (and ourselves) that the earth continues to turn and the soil continues to give life and food, even during the darkest, coldest months. 🌎 We have enjoyed a peaceful solstice season: candle making, baking, bonfires, reading, slow, cozy time with friends and family. The next iteration of farming is on the horizon, and the planning wheels are beginning to grind ever so sluggishly. Seed orders, greenhouse work, field clean-up, and spring harvests are imminent...but for now, we'll embrace the mid-winter pace and the treasure that is mid-winter food! Speaking of mid-winter produce, did you know that we have a Grab N Go cooler fully stocked with some choice winter items? Cabbage, spinach, beets, chard, mustard mix and pasture-raised eggs. You won't find perkier yolks anywhere else. For the month of January, our eggs are on sale for $10/dozen. AND, if you use coupon code DRF2026 during online checkout, you'll get another 5% off your total. While no substitute for our currently-on-winter-break (back, with love, on February 14th!), this new cooler is a great way to remain connected and seasonally nourished through the deep winter months. Please grab a warm drink or delicious Little Leaf lunch when you pop in for vegetables (best coffee in town!). Customer support through the "off-season" is so important for your favorite local businesses, and farmers 🤩 - it makes a vibrant, local, food and farm economy possible. Thank you!

Hello Friends -

This week, in our insanely comfortable lives, we sat at a full table with full hearts and attempted to reconcile the abundance and beauty of our sustenance with an often cruel and complicated world. These are the words we shared before our family meal:

A Blessing for the Journey
by Sensei Wendy Egyoku Naka

Let us vow to bear witness to the wholeness of life,
realizing the completeness of each and every thing.
Embracing our differences,
I shall know myself as you,
and you as myself.
May we serve each other
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere.
Let us vow to open ourselves to the abundance of life.
Freely giving and receiving, I shall care for you,
for the trees and stars,
as treasures of my very own.
May we be grateful
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere.
Let us vow to forgive all hurt,
caused by ourselves and others,
and to never condone hurtful ways.
Being responsible for my actions,
I shall free myself and you.
Will you free me, too?
May we be kind
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere.
Let us vow to remember that all that appears will disappear.
In the midst of uncertainty,
I shall sow love.
Here! Now! I call to you:
Let us together live
The Great Peace that we are.
May we give no fear
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere.

Speaking of here, there and everywhere, it may be mid-winter, but the farm is still growing! Come see us today, at the winter Silverton Farmer’s market. We’ll also be here with nourishing goodies on 12/6 and 12/20. It’s time to stock up on onions and potatoes and have you tried our hot sauce and chili powder? A little summer heat is what keeps the heavy mist from seeping into our bodies and bones.

And in case you are just too cozy to leave the house on Saturday mornings, don’t despair. There are some choice items in our new grab n go cooler at the singular …including pasture-raised eggs! Thank you to Mersadee and the entire LL team for supporting local, organic growers and specifically for always giving Diggin’ Roots Farm a place on your menu (and now on your floor!) It takes more to source with care. We feel the love!

Here, there and everywhere. 💚🥕💚

Fall mornings don’t get more sparkly than this. If you need a calming community elixir, put down the screen and come gee some greens! It’s the last outdoor market of the season! ✨🥕✨

Are you seeking peaceful connection in community? Me too.

Please take care of each other, check on your friends, put the phone down, keep creating safe spaces and beautiful things. Gather. Look at the stars. Breathe. Speak up for what you believe. Be kind. Give hugs if they are welcomed. Be fierce in your love.

It’s impossible to live with hope in the doom scroll, but in the real realm of the world our kids are trying to play and grow and connect. They need us to keep exercising our civil, and civic, muscles. I’m grateful that the Earth keeps providing examples of resilience and repair, even as we humans lose our senses and sensibilities.

What are we going to build together? Does it feel safe, inclusive, inspiring, creative, bountiful? I think it can, I think it will. Thank you Silverton for leaning in and remembering that we all need each other to survive. Success, to me, looks like discourse and discussion and doing hard work together. It looks like tangible support and kindness through action.

Sometimes words on this screen just feel like screaming into the void, endless echos, simple platitudes. But this place isn’t our life, even as it consumes more and more of our time. Our life exists in the soil, on the streets, in our parks, in our schools, in our shelters, and businesses and hospitals, and in our lakes and rivers and under a big starry sky, where we (hope to) breath fresh air and drink clean water. And, of course, at our markets!

Let’s remember that there is no escape from this place or from each other. The responsibility to nurture our collective compassion and health is shared. Don’t give up. There’s nothing else to do but try.

We know you’re likely headed for the hills, or the ocean, or the river….but we sure do hope you stop by the farmer’s market first! We’ve been hustling in the heat this week to bring you all the bounty of summer, and finding some time to transition beds into fall and winter crops. What a year this week has been! Our 2025 field plantings are almost done, but the harvest is in FULL swing. Corn, melons, boxes of sauce tomatoes, piles of glowing carrots, the sweetest peppers, and your sweaty, smiling farmers can all be found today at the Silverton Farmer’s Market. 9-1pm. Come early to beat the heat! 🔥 🥕
