Hey friends! Hope you're doing well as we wrap up January here. We have been SUPER busy with some big projects behind the scenes. One of them is that we now have our farm store open in Hotchkiss! For the last two years, Mike and I have, in addition to homesteading, had a small tattoo studio in Hotchkiss. Our lease was coming to an end and we had really outgrown the space so we started looking for something bigger. One of the things we were hoping to find was a new studio space that would be big enough to actually house both of our business! We lucked out and found a great commercial space that's still on the main road through town and the property owner is super cool and very supportive of everything we're doing. We've also been trying to find some time to pause and do some planning before things pick up steam here with markets again. I think taking the time to really reflect on what we've done before planning for the next season is so incredibly important and that's why I'm so excited to have Jill Ragan of Whispering Willow Farm on the podcast today! She's the author of the Tiny But Mighty Farm but our focus today is to talk about her newest project, The Tiny Farm Planner. We had an awesome conversation about so many topics, like honoring the different seasons of our lives, getting away from the cultural urge to monetize everything we are doing, and instead focusing on the joy that activities bring to us. Hope you enjoy! Grab your own copy of The Tiny Farm Planner! Connect with Jill: Instagram * Facebook * Website ~*~*~*~*~*~ Our farm shop is full of goodies for you! We have two new offerings in the shop -- our Hot Italian Seasoning, and our Tummy Mender Tea. Our seasonal Lymph Love vinegar is also back in stock to guide us smoothly out of winter and into early spring over the next few months.

Send us a Text Message.Hello, flower enthusiasts! Roz Chandler here, welcoming you to another insightful episode of The Cutflower Podcast. In this episode, we continue our three-part series on perennials for your cutting garden or flower farm. Last week, we covered the alphabet from A to H, and today we'll be picking up with H for Hellebores and moving through to S. These trusty perennials form the backbone of a productive garden, ensuring beauty and reliability year after year. Let's dive in!Episode SummaryIn this instalment, Roz Chandler takes us through the next set of essential perennials for any cutting garden. Starting with the delicate and early-blooming Hellebores, she moves on to Limonium, Toadflax, Lysimachia, and a host of other beautiful and practical plants. Roz shares her expert tips on how to grow, propagate, and care for these plants to maximise their vase life and ensure a bountiful harvest. Whether you're a flower farmer or an avid gardener, these perennials are must-haves for their versatility and enduring appeal. The episode also touches on the love-hate relationship with peonies, the versatile uses of mint, and the stunning beauty of Sanguisorba.Key TakeawaysHellebores and Patience: Hellebores require patience; pick them when seed pods and stamens drop for optimal vase life.Propagation Tips: Many perennials, like Lysimachia and mint, benefit from division every few years, offering more plants and fresh growth.Versatility of Mints: Mints can be invasive, so plant them in containers unless you want them to spread. They offer excellent vase life and fragrance.Seasonal Highlights: Peonies, while short-lived, are a beloved addition to any garden, providing stunning blooms that can be stored for later use.New Additions: Sanguisorba, with its striking height and unique colour, has become a favourite and a must-grow for its visual impact and longevity.Thank you for joining me as we explore these wonderful perennials.

If you've never grown a fall garden, you are missing out. There seems to be so much less insect and disease pressure with a fall garden. The weather seems to be a bit more predictable, too, even if it is still hot when we get started. This doesn't mean the fall garden is fool-proof, but it does mean that many of us get a second chance or sort of “redo” of our spring crops. If there were things that didn't grow well for us that we'd like to try again, fall is often a great time to do that. If there were things that grew fantastically well and we want more, fall is a great time for that, too. It's also a time to get things going that will overwinter in the garden if our climate is mild enough or if we can employ some extra protection measures. On today's episode of Just Grow Something we're going to run down the things we should be considering in the garden as we move into fall. The time to do these is now; many colder areas get shorted when it comes to summer gardening and the earlier we can plan and prepare the better off we are. And stick with me until the end and I'll tell you all about my Fall Garden Planning Challenge. Let's dig in! Episode Resources: Fall Garden Planning Challenge - Sign Up Here! Say Thank You!

Native agriculture producers and the federal government have an opportunity right now to collaborate in everyone's best interests. That's one of the messages from the first-ever State of Native Agriculture Address hosted by the Native American Agriculture Fund. And the thawing ground means it's time to start planning your garden. Today on Native America Calling, our resident foodie Andi Murphy serves up the latest helping of The Menu, our regular special feature on Native food news and sovereignty, with Zach Ducheneaux (Cheyenne River Sioux), USDA Farm Service Agency administrator; Nick Taylor (Navajo), CEO of NN Shopping Centers Inc.; and Rowen White (Akwesasne Mohawk), farmer, seed keeper, and founder of Sierra Seeds. Plus, a special treat from Andi's sister Alisha Murphy, who caught up with Victoria Largo, the new brick-and-mortar restauranteur who defied the odds in one Navajo community when she opened Victoria's PIZZA.
