A little preview for your back-to-school kitchen counter, either in celebration or sadness for the end of summer break! I feel a bit of both but am eager to get back to the routine on our farm: harvesting, bunching, selling in repeat and of course prepping and planting for next year. We are sending lovely bunches of dahlia blooms in all the colors and textures to C Squared today after 3pm. Enjoy the weekend!

Quick capture of our very first dahlia buckets heading into Piedmont Wholesale Flowers ! It’s that time of the year when summer is still settling but the air and the sounds and smells around us are revealing clues of the next season. I hope the summer has been good to you and I look forward to sharing more of our farm in the coming weeks and months.

I don’t have flowers yet to share with tomorrow morning, but our dahlia plants are finally growing and thriving after some good old fashioned rain…I assume we can call it that in the midst of an historic drought?! We should be up and running in the flower market by August’s end through November. In the meantime, I’ll see you in the morning with our oh! so delicious grass fed beef, fresh chicken and just a few eggs. We’ve been hard at work recently mending fences, weeding always, finding the tiniest of toads and a nice homecoming after a really wonderful week of family camp in New Hampshire. See you bright and early South Durham!

Another year around the sun! Our big little boy Sully turns six and finishes his last week of Kindergarten with the most amazing teacher Betsy, his classroom for the past three years. She’s taught him oh so many things from reading and writing to math I don’t quite understand (😬), number rolling, map-making, pin punching, sewing, Zumba and so so much more. Another milestone complete as the next rotation ticks onward. Oh earth!

I learned last night that we are in a historic drought. (Thanks as always to for their informative newsletters)! Even though things are still green from a panoramic scan, we are definitely observing signs of this drought. The peonies pictured here, “Monsieur Jules Elie” and “Kansas,” are doing well and thriving in a partial shade portion of our field. These are older favorites and known to be good producers in southern climates. However, most of my “fancy” aka very expensive/ big investment peony roots are struggling this year. We put water on them a few weeks ago but alas, this season’s flowers formed long before the plants reemerged in early spring and it’s just too little too late. Thankful for these well-adapted southern beauties. I will be bunching them tomorrow for . I hope you will stop by Cathy’s magical store in downtown Oxford to grab a bunch or two.
