📣New extended hours! Starting this week, our nursery and on-farm market will be open every Friday 3 - 6pm, Saturday 9am - 4pm, and Sunday 9am - 1pm for the fall season (Sunday hours are a trial for a short time to gauge interest).

Many people may not know this, but fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs because they will put more energy into growing roots and be better prepared to grow a lot in the spring.

Come on out, check out our plants, and ask us any questions you have about food forests or forest gardening! You can also order online for on-farm pickup. Please note that gooseberry and currant plants may not look robust at this time of year, but they are healthy and will grow. Just let us know if you have any concerns.

In terms of produce, we have no-spray pears 🍐available right now, along with hot peppers and some other veggies from our garden.

Lime plaster workshop with Sigi Sigi Koko at the beautiful ZigBone Farm Retreat -- Sabillasville, MD USA, and it was an absolute blast! Working with lime was quite different from clay in terms of preparation and the safety measures you need to take. A great teacher, amazing hosts, and a badass crew made it so much more empowering!

We have been on the Rising Nation River Journey with Lenape Nation Of Pennsylvania for the past few days. It's been very special and an honor to get to paddle and camp down the Delaware river alongside the members of the Lenape Nation learning about their culture, history, and the gratitude towards the ancestors and elders who came before us and took care of the land and water. They reminded us that water is what connects all the living beings on mother earth. Their river journeys honor that spirit of kinship with nature and the stewardship we must carry to keep water clean and sacred.

Rising Nation River Journey returns every four years to bring awareness of the culture and much erased history of the Lenni Lenape around the Delaware River. They invite anyone to join them on the river for paddling and treaty signings on land to form or renew friendship.

For the next few more days, they will paddle down to Tohickon Valley Park and continue their journy on land all the way to Cape May. Please join one of their treaty signings (there will be one for public in Frenchtown on the 9th), or join them on the river with your boat if you can! More information can be found in their website (www.lenape-nation.org)

📣 We have an egg stand now! It was built by Sunghee with 100% repurposed materials on the farm, including some plywood from a greenhouse that a wind storm took down 11 years ago 🙃 It's not fancy, but it will do the job.

Lots of logs have been harvested from our black locust trees 🪵 Many of the locust trees in our orchard are growing nice and tall, providing good posts suitable for small building projects on the farm.

We'll be making sturdy trellises out of these logs for hardy kiwis in the orchard. Hardy kiwis (a.k.a. kiwi berries) grow vigorously and produce so many berries that they need strong trellises to support them. Black locust lumber is strong, rot-resistant, and makes great posts that will last decades (better than cedar).

Black locust trees are not ideal for planting in a small suburban yard because they send out suckers and can quickly form a dense thicket if left unmanaged. However, they can serve as a valuable renewable resource for many purposes on a farm!

We kept losing chickens to hawks earlier this summer, so we decided to change our pastured chicken system drastically. Without livestock guardian dogs, it's not really possible to give the chickens fresh pasture in a mobile system without facing threats from aerial predators. 

This new mobile coop gives them a smaller amount of pasture each time, but it's so lightweight that we've been able to move it (with only one person) once or twice a day, giving them fresh pasture without the need for a tractor! 

The Alumi-coop we ordered through The Mobile Chicken House was an investment, but it's super well constructed. We've been using it for about a month now. We are impressed with the attention to detail and the craftsmanship that went into its design. We expect to get a lot of use from it for many years to come on our farm.

In permaculture, there are principles that can help you think more holistically about the decisions you make. One of the permaculture principles is to accept feedback and respond to changes. So sometimes you have to be ready to completely change a system if it's no longer working for you. This change might have been forced upon us, but now that we've made the switch, we've actually ended up with a system that works much better for us - and our hens!
