dear community,
we’ve chosen our name because we have instinctively decided to live our lives and operate our farm according to the earth’s natural cycles. by observing nature’s signals, we are more in tune with the changing of the seasons and we can better know where to focus our intent. we feel the importance of this way of life wholeheartedly and, as we settle into a rhythm here at harbinger farm, we’d like to share our explorations with our community, both near and far.

C***O DI TORO (translates to bull’s horn) these peppers might look mean 😈 but they are sugary sweet as can be! and honestly more tasty than a blocky bell pepper in our honest opinion, due to their thinner flesh and more concentrated flavor, making them ideal for blistering as they won’t sweat out much moisture. despite three consecutive mornings of frost earlier this week, we kept these late-season italian fryers snug in their tunnel and the plants are loaded with fruit which we hope will continue to ripen in the weeks to come! gatherer’s gold and red sword varieties for the win! we’ll bring a big ol’ bushel full for y’all to try out tomorrow Umpqua Valley Farmer’s Market
from 9am-1pm!

as small business owners and operators, we occasionally get the chance to escape the nitty gritty and go out into the real world for a refresh. it’s where we’re often reminded that there are so many of us out there, risking it all on hopes and dreams. 💫 granted, it’s rarely in the form of your typical 9 to 5 and there’s guaranteed added stress and strain because our livelihood is resting on our ability to achieve said dreams. yet, despite the countless hardships and challenges the come with our choice to be self-employed, we invariably return home/to reality with the same renewed perspective—the reward of “living the dream” is worth it. (well, most of the time 😜)
come visit all of the dreamers that make up the resilient, brave and talented group of local businesses and market vendors downtown on jackson street tomorrow Umpqua Valley Farmer’s Market from 9am-1pm! we all truly thrive solely on your loyal support! 🫶
