A little farm humor to offset the long hours, the Texas sun, the inevitable crop failures, losing sweet chickens, customers turning their noses up at the prices, and the occasional government meddling.

Farming has a way of humbling you daily. One minute you’re making plans, the next minute a hailstorm, grasshopper, heat wave, or mystery ailment reminds you who’s really in charge.

The good news? If you can laugh about it all, you still have a chance.

Tomorrow we’ll be at the Dripping Springs Farmers Market with vegetables, flowers, stories from the field, and probably a few more reasons to laugh.

Come say hello. 🌱🥕😂

The truth about gardening is that seeds are magic.
The farmer and the gardener simply make a way for the mystery to reveal itself through the expression of that seed. We prepare the soil. We water. We wait. We participate. But what the seed is holding has always felt beyond my understanding.

I often think about all the humans who came before us. The ones who learned the rhythms of the land. The ones who discovered what could nourish, heal, feed, and delight. The ones who paid enough attention to become students of what was already here.

It’s blackberry time in the garden. One of my favorite rituals is walking to the edge of the property and picking a handful straight from the brambles. Blackberry bushes have never been interested in being discreet. They stain your fingers. They stain your lips. They leave evidence. A few years ago I planted dozens of plants and they have been prolifically giving us fruit since then.

I imagine children throughout history with purple mouths and scratched arms. Weary wanderers stopping along a fence line. Grandmothers filling coffee cans. Birds, deer, foxes, and people all receiving the same sweet offering.

A blackberry patch feels like a reminder that abundance doesn’t always arrive in neat rows and tidy plans. Sometimes it appears wild and thorny and generous all at once.
This is a little ode to the blackberry.
Its message is clear:
“Come closer.”
“Mind the thorns.”
“The sweetness is worth it.”

I chose gardening for many reasons.
Partly because our food system is slowly poisoning people..
Partly because I wanted my hands in something real again.

Partly because plants don’t care about trends, algorithms, or opinions. They respond to attention, patience, and time. And yes, if I’m being truthful, because I get to keep to myself a little. I get to disappear into the rows, listen to the birds, talk to the animals, and lose track of the hours.

Gardening is humbling work. The weather doesn’t care about your plans. Seeds fail. Bugs arrive. Things flourish where they shouldn’t and struggle where they should thrive.

But every season teaches me something about trust. There is deep comfort in building something that may outlive you. A fruit tree. Healthy soil. A way of living that leaves the land a little better than you found it.

The older I get, the more I understand that a good life is less about conquering the world and more about belonging to it.

As Wendell Berry wrote, “The Earth is what we all have in common.” So these days you’ll often find me out in the garden, learning from the plants or hanging with my favorite rose

And if you’re curious about the strange, beautiful things we’re growing over here, we’ve tucked some cheeky merch and other goodies onto the website.

Our weekly microgreens ritual starts long before the seeds ever germinate.

Every bag of soil gets screened by hand to remove clumps, sticks, and imperfections. Then we lay out every tray for the week ahead.

Before filling trays, we spray them with hydrogen peroxide to help eliminate the possibility of pathogens or disease being carried forward into the next crop cycle. Clean trays matter when you’re growing thousands of living plants in a controlled environment.

Next comes the soil.

One scoop per tray. Then everything is leveled carefully by hand. Any dips, bumps, or inconsistencies in the soil can lead to uneven germination and inconsistent growth. After hand leveling, we flatten every tray a second time using a tray to create an even surface across the entire tray.

Microgreens grow fast, which means mistakes show up fast too.

Uniformity and consistency are what we chase in every part of the process — because small details compound into healthier crops, longer shelf life, and better flavor.

Salads just got an upgrade 🥬⚡️

Our salad mix has always been one of our most popular offerings — a true snapshot of what’s thriving in the field each week. That means a constantly changing blend of greens like arugula, mizuna (green + purple), bok choy, tatsoi, Swiss chard, mustard greens… plus microgreens like sunflower + pea shoots mixed in for that extra punch.

But behind the scenes, we’ve been rethinking one big piece of the process: drying.

After harvest, every leaf gets washed and sorted — a process that takes hours to make sure everything is clean and beautiful. From there, drying has been the bottleneck. Our old shelf + fan setup worked… until it didn’t. It was slow, cramped, and limited to one person at a time.

So we built something better.

We designed a custom drying system with:
• A suspended frame holding 5 box fans
• Mounted from the ceiling with chains to a central beam
• A lightweight, movable PVC table
• Screened surface for maximum airflow under and over the greens

The result?

Way faster drying.
Way less handling.
Way better quality.

Less touching = happier leaves = longer shelf life.

We’re not quite back in salad season just yet — that last freeze hit us hard — but new growth is coming on strong. Once it’s ready, we should have consistent salads rolling through for the rest of the season.

We can’t wait to share the difference with you.

Thank y’all for the continued support — it means everything to a small farm like ours.

See you this weekend at the New Braunfels Farmers Market 🌱
