We’ve made it through the Persephone period and the light is returning, we can definitely feel it, how bout you?

The minimally heated greenhouse and unheated tunnels are keeping the winter kale, lettuce, spinach and chard super happy and the flavor of the greens right now! Wow! Winter farming, I love ya.

Our lil Valentines Day dried floral sales were a success (thank you!) and June baby is eight months old and now has 6! Teeth!
Time, you sneaky devil

Hard to put into words how lucky we feel to be nestled in here through the most turbulent of times, grateful is an understatement. My bones ache with the desire for all beings everywhere to know this level of comfort and not a day goes by that we don’t reflect on our privilege.

We successfully made it through a one year trial period and have entered into the first five year phase of our lease here, if all goes well we have a second five year term after this one so in total we are secured to farm here for 11 years. Which feels like an eternity and also no time at all.

We have been reflecting on the chaos and beauty of 2024 and are ready (sort of?!) to begin again for the 2025 growing season. Wish us luck, but I guess what we will really need is persistence, organization, calm in the face of chaos and a good sense of humor with a heaping side of humility. There is truly nothing I’d rather be doing, so grateful Caleb and June are along for the ride! And big thanks to you all for following along 💋💋💋

Checked in on the overwintering flowers and everyone looks great! Played it pretty safe this year with foxglove, delphinium, sweet William and echinops. All planted into landscape fabric to keep the chick w**d at bay, in an unheated greenhouse with frost cloth. A very cozy place to winter IMO. Starting our anemone and ranunculus this week too! Spring flowers are the best, can’t wait to share them with yall!

Plus I had a very special greeting upon my return home 🥰

Well it’s December and the spinach is delicious, the baby is six months old, two greenhouses were moved over the winter leeks and we are chipping away at a long list of winter to-dos. We’ve been dealing with a stubborn ear infection since thanksgiving and June baby has been quite sick which is very all consuming for me. But we are managing some medium sized harvests weekly and are pretty proud of our late season broccoli. I haven’t made a single wreath since workshop season ended and I really miss that part of my old life. We don’t have nearly as many storage crops as we’d planned to, but the baby is six months old!! My brain is a mushy cloud of love and stress but the lettuce is divine! I have zero energy for social media but I want to tell yall how much I love and appreciate yas 💖

Celebrating the first frost the best way we know how; dried flowers baby!

Feeling downright spoiled to be settling into fall here on the farm with our big four month old(!!), our resident barred owl, two snuggly pups, epic early sunsets and a shipping container full of dried flowers

We are opting out of evergreens this year and focusing on dried flowers and winter veg. So if you need some dried floral joy in your life hit me up 🌾✨

First dried flower wreath workshop of the season was a great success!

A small cozy crew gathered in the Farmstand, we had tea and snacks and played with sweet annie & it was the very first time I’ve ever taught a workshop on the same property as were the flowers were grown, an actual dream come true ✨

We’ve got a few spaces left in the 10/27 & 11/10 workshops, 11/3 is sold out! Sign up on our website & reach out with questions 🤝

Thanks for the photos! (And for generally being the best 💋)

October sky drama ✨

06/10/2024

During my senior year of under-grad I wrote an anthropology thesis on the subculture of beekeepers in Western North Carolina. I traveled all around WNC interviewing beekeepers from small scale backyard hobbyists to folks participating in larger, migratory practices. These interviews took me all over Buncombe, Haywood, Yancey and Madison county and I met some incredibly interesting beekeepers who were beyond generous with me in sharing their stories and their bee yards. I concluded that despite significant ideological diversity within the subculture, the beekeepers of WNC were able to set aside their differences and come together in a time of environmental crisis. I will forever be grateful that this academic process took me out of the classroom and into the mountains, it changed me as a student and deepened my love for the area.

Watching WNC get pummeled this week by Hurricane Helene has been utterly heartbreaking. There is magic in those mountains, the culture of community there is like nothing I have ever experienced and it is devastating to watch such suffering from afar. The only solace is watching the community show up for each other. Neighbors taking care of neighbors, activists organizing search and rescue, grassroots pop-up distribution centers. It just validates my understanding of this place, they have eachothers backs in times of crisis, no matter what, it is so powerful.

Thanks to yalls hunger for local flowers this week we were able to send over $1000 to loved ones needing to rebuild and to & who have been mobilizing since day one.
I wish I could give so much more to the place that played a giant role in shaping who I am today. I have never felt this homesick before; an aching for the people, the mountains, the river, mixed with absolute rage for the deep history of extraction in Appalachia, for the over-investment in tourism vs. infrastructure in the region and the very real fear for what the future holds for WNC.
I hope we can be inspired by the community driven efforts in WNC right now; show up for each other, we are truly all we’ve got.

Today I turn 35!
Feeling lucky, exhausted, grateful, reflective, anxious, in love… really just feeling all of it while hiding away in a dark room, holding a two month old June baby who refuses to sleep anywhere else at the moment.
It has been suuuuch a wild year! Truly would have laughed in your face this time last year if you had tried to tell me what this year would bring. I can’t say it’s been my best year in business, honestly it might be my worst?!
But we’ve got a ton to show for our growth as individuals, farmers and most importantly as a family.
I have moments of feeling like I’m bursting at the seems with creative ideas for the future of our business and moments where I could care less about anything related to farming/business. But then I go cut flowers, eat a carrot from the ground, make a bouquet or watch the sunset on the farm and remember myself, grieve for the easy life I once took for granted and feel wicked fu***ng validated that I chose this path for myself, cuz it’s a good one

Caleb and I are so proud to introduce the newest member of our crew; June Eleanore Friedland 💖

She is absolute perfection and we are so in love! Whata lucky lady to be spending her young years nestled into this farming life, surrounded by such a supportive community. We are so grateful for all of it

Still pregnant, still farming 💃🏻

It’s not all rainbows and butterflies but it is pretty amazing what this body can do! I take a lotta naps, my feet are almost three sizes bigger than pre-pregnancy(and in constant pain), I straight up waddle around, but I’m still working and I’m counting that as a win.
It’s officially June! And this baby is coming earth side this month one way or another 🥳 say a lil prayer for us

Seriously wouldn’t have made it this far without the fierce, loving support of my partner in all things, Caleb. He’s my hero and I can’t wait to watch him become a dad. He’s been farming his ass off and it’s been a wild and rewarding experience learning how to work full time together on this incredible property. It is both a dream and sometimes a bit of a nightmare 😅 but we’re doing it, and I can’t wait to tell our daughter the tale of 2024; the year she surprised us with her presence and we took over a legacy farm together 🥰

Mother’s Day has a whole new meaning for me this year as we (excitedly, anxiously, somewhat patiently) await the arrival of our June baby.
So much has happened this year and we’re so lucky this lil babe decided to come along for the ride, what a ride it’s been! We can’t wait to meet her and see who she becomes, learn what she loves and how she chooses to live her life 🥹 it’s all so overwhelmingly exciting I can barely stand it!
Humbled by it all, grateful for this body, empowered by the process, mourning my youth, confused as to how I’ll keep farming with such stamina…it’s all there, all at once, in the biggest most dramatic year of my life. Somebody pinch me, and rub me feet plz

Thanks to all the amazing parents in my life who have modeled compassionate caregiving and especially the farming families who give us hope that we can do it all, no matter how hard and impossible it seems. We see you & we’re honored to join the ranks 🌞

Slowly but surely Caleb has been moving all of our infrastructure from Ellsworth to Cape Rosier. It’s been no small feat and has been rather time consuming but will be so helpful once the flowers start rolling in. I’m so impressed and grateful for his Mainer ingenuity, whata gem!
