Almost ready / Fast fertig
.
It feels like weve been waiting for this moment for forever, but we are very close to being able to attend markets again. We're hoping for this weekend, but we'll see what nature has to say about that...
.
It's our first season farming in Alberta and we are turning an old pasture into a market garden, so there will of course be hiccups. I've been told the gophers are particularly bad this year. In fact, they ate our first planting of pretty well everything so we are runninng about 6 weeks behind
.
We've finally managed to get the population under control and have become excellent trappers. Crops are finally starting to size up, and there's lots of goodness to come. A few snaps from our nightly crop walk with Luna last night
.
Farmers markets are special places and really where it all started for us. We have always preffered to sell direct to our customers, getting to see familiar faces every week and seeing peoples faces light up when they find that little something special on the table. We can't wait to meet our new community!

One year / Ein Jahr

It's been exactly one year since we moved to our little slice of paradise. First three photos are from that day, and then some pics of all the food we've been putting in the ground since then
.
Robin only saw pictures of the place before we offered, you have to have a lot of trust in someone to do something crazy like that, but I'm happy to say we love it as much today as we did one year ago
.
Big shoutout to Robin, my number one person and the only person I'd want to share this journey with. It hasn't always been easy, and we are both exhausted all the time these days, but it is rewarding to look back and see the results of all of our hard work, even if those pesky gophers are eating half of everything we put in the ground

Little farm update / Kleine Nachricht

Been a busy couple of weeks for us, lots of moving parts all cycling at the same time, and those 40 hrs a week off farm, though necessary to rebuild this dream, are feeling mighty draining
.
The seedling greenhouse is up and crops are doing well, we're behind in field prep, but we got the first production plot tilled shaped and tarped. Picked up the potatoes in Bowden yeaterday and hoping to plant out the cold hardy crops in a few weeks time. I'm still babying the tomatoes
.
Back in Feb we attended a tree planting workshop through the county and I won some nerdy books, the culmination of which was 100 trees and bushes went into the ground this weekend followed by a good dump of rain, so dispite the chaos we're feeling optimistic
.
Fourty chicks arrived last week and are thriving in their little brooder, this weeks project is to reno the old coop on the property and get the babies moved into their permanent digs
.
Definitely feels like we're spinning in circles, but it's a good chaos, or thats what I tell myself anyways

Sometimes you just have to work with what you have / Auf kleiner flecher Anpflanzen
.
The first farmer I worked for said "farmng is different than other skills because sometimes you only get one try at a crop per year". I interpreted that to mean, if you really want to become good at growing something you have to plant it every year
.
For me that crop is tomatoes. Once you have tasted that sweet, tangy, sour taste of a homegrown tomato, the ones at the supermarket are just never the same
.
Little throwback to my persistence in getting a crop no matter the circumstances. Tomatoes trellised to the evestrough of the doublewide we used to rent on the orchard, the garden we built in Germany, and our first farm in the Salmon River Valley
.
I'll be sharing some tricks and tips at the @stettler_museum this Sunday from 2-4pm on growing organically and in small spaces. Garden club will be running monthly from April to October. Lets get growing!

Soil / Das Erdreich

We broke open the ground where our seedling greenhouse will sit this week and it's so exciting to see that inky black soil again
.
I often ask Robin to help me with translations into German. A couple of words came first to mind. Boden? No not the ground I said. Erde? No, not earth, Soil I said, what's the word for soil? Did I get it right?
.
So, when I say soil, I mean soil. That beautiful living environment of microorganisms, mineral and organic material, which is capable of supporting plant life and growth. That beautiful tilthy medium that we as farmers aim to improve year over year so that it remains viable and full of life for years to come
.
When we lost our lease in Salmon Arm this was one of the biggest losses for us. Loosing our beautiful, organically certified, soil, which we had worked so hard to build. It's also one of the reasons why we knew leasing land could never be a viable long term option for us. Because how could you have such a tenuous relationship to one of the most important aspects of your farm?
.
We have been working hard to certify our land again, we're not certified organic yet, but we will be. Our application is in, and we will have our first inspection this year and we are looking forward to building soil and new relationships here in east central Alberta this season and for years to come

Market Day / Markttag

It's no secret, it's my favourite day of the week, and a part of our business I love the most
.
After university and before I got into farming I used to live in Toronto, where I worked as a book publicist, planning events and working directly with the mainstream media. I started volunteering at a farmers market on Saturdays to meet new people, and eventually started working for a local farmer selling olive oil and cheese
.
My first apartment was on the third floor of a victorian walk up in chinatown at Dundas and Spadina, dead centre in a city of 2.8 million people (in 2014). If you know me from this time, you'll know I biked everywhere, and was as urbanite as it gets
.
Sometimes I jokingly tell people that I burned out in my thirties and ran away to a farm and never looked back, but it is the collection of experiences that make us who we are, and without experiencing the grit and buzz of the streets of Canadas largest city I never would have found my passion for farming
.
Toronto is kind of where is all started for me, here I am at the market 12 years ago, and my first little (probably illegal) garden on my fire escape. I hope you find some time today to hit up your favorite farmers market. It is after all where community is built and magical things happen 😘

Walking the land / Wandern
.
Since moving here in June last year, we've been taking lots of walks on the property. To help Luna understand where home is, to see how the water flows, which way the wind blows, what grows where, and how we can best support and integrate our lives and livelihood with this little slice we now call home
.
I truly believe that above all else, a farmer is a caretaker, and one of the most important things they do, is ensure that the land and soil, and everything that depends on it, will thrive for generations to come
.
Before the land we used to lease was put up for sale, our former landlord tried to find a private buyer who understood that
.
We met many times with a multimillion dollar investment company, who told us time and again that they wanted to support organic and regenerative farming. But when I asked them about property maintenance, upkeep, and the value of taking care of the land, it was clear that they did not understand what I was asking, and that they did not value the true work of a farmer
.
Over the next 33 days you will be promised many things, politicians will again start pandering to the working class, fears will be stoked, and divisions will be sown. They will play into your emotions, misconstrue facts, and try to convince you through cheap tactics that they are the right choice for you. So instead, ask yourself this, can I really trust this person to follow through on the promises they have made?

Luna's lookout / Luna und ihr Reifen
.
Sometime this fall, shortly after I cleaned the tomato trials out of this tractor tire planter, Luna claimed it as her own. Without fail when you glance out the window you're more than likely to find her here
.
Just as we are, she is starting to feel right at home here in Stettler County, and it feels like the perfect fit for us all

Welfare bread / Wohlfahrtsbrot
.
I've been playing this clip on repeat since the holidays. When, for a limited time, cheap, ultraprocessed, nutrient deficient foods, were made more affordable and accessible to all Canadians
.
I first heard this song in a sweat filled hall at the royal Canadian legion in downtown Calgary in 2009, but somehow it feels even more relevant today.
.
It's a subject close to my heart, because its through volunteering @thestopfarmersmarket and their drive to increase acces to healthy food for everyone where I met my first mentors @marvedfarm, where Robin and I first met, and where this whole farming journey started
.
Farmers markets are incredible community builders and drivers of your local economy, and nothing gives us more pleasure than popping up that tent, growing good healthy food, and doing our best to ensure no one has to subsist on cheap nutritionless carbohydrates
.
If you're looking for a way to get involved and make positive change, I'd start at your local farmers market

We have either impeccable timing or terrible timing / Perfekter Zeitpunkt, oder nicht
.
We first started our farm business in January 2020 and we were staring at a grim picture. It's not easy to motivate yourself to start a business when you're looking at increased input costs, massive global and financial uncertainty, and grim predictions for the health of the future
.
Flash forward to March 2025 and things don't look much different. Society is again paralyzed with fear and anxiety, there is an ever increasing need and demand for local food, trade, and business leadership, but this time we are more prepared
.
In July 2022 the property we were leasing was sold to a hostile new owner and we were forced to shutter our business. Out of fear of losing everything we packed our business assets into a sea can, shipped it off site, and started looking for a new home
.
This weekend we finally unpacked our farm in a box, and though it might just look like a pile of stuff, after a long search, a years long legal battle, and stressful drive over the rockies with an overloaded uhaul and Luna our LGD who has a tendency to vomit on car rides, we made it, and we couldn't be more ecstatic to grow for you this season
.
Here's to doing crazy things in unprecedented times

Good Morning / Guten Morgen
.
No filters, just beautiful winter skies here in east central Alberta
.
Its easy to complain about winter, but its not as bleak as the world makes it out to be. One of the things I miss the most in the winter is colour, but honestly this year it's been a pretty spectacular return to those magical Prairie skies.
.
We're starting to warm up here and the seasons are starting to turn. Yesterday, it was 8 degrees. I drank my coffee on a bench in the sun on main street in Stettler, a gentle breeze tossing my hair and the pages of my book around
.
Just a little reminder that there is lightness and goodness no matter the season. Nature never dissapoints. If you're craving some colour today, its Saturday, I'm sure there is a local farmers market ready to delight your senses
.
Some of my faves in the communities I've lived in @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers @strathconamarket @gasolinealleyfarmersmarket @calgaryfarmersmarket @wychwoodbarnsfarmersmarket @dufferingrovemarket

It's been another eight months of silence over here, but we have some exciting news to share! We finally found a forever home and we will be farming again 😎 / Wir haben unser neue Zuhause gufunden!
.
We didn't get a chance to connect with everyone we wanted to before we left and there is nothing worse than having to leave the community of farmers, makers and community builders we have been a part of since 2019. In fact, it's what we're missing the most, but it's not goodbye forever.
.
We feel blessed to have found 11 acres with a home on it in beautiful Stettler County, AB. We've spent the last three months, walking the land, dreaming, and making plans for the future, and we can't wait to get back to growing for our community again.
.
Did you know that 66 cents of every dollar spent at a small business stays local versus only 11 cents spent at a multinational retailer? Don't forget to stop by your favourite Saturday farmers market today and help your local economy prosper.

It’s been almost a year since we last posted on here / Wir haben für viele Monate nichts geposted
.
Unfortunately, we haven’t yet found a solution to the situation we find ourselves in, but I wanted to jump on here and talk about food and community and how important it is for us all to support the growers and people in our communities that work towards a stronger, more food secure future, for us all.
.
No one wins when a farmer looses their access to the land, and as we continue to face a housing affordability shortfall in our region, I know our situation is not unique. So, what can we do?
.
We have been fortunate to have been supported by the @shuswapfoodaction society, who run the @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market, which they have grown into a year-round market with over 50 vendors.
.
But did you know that they also run various other programs in our community that directly benefit farmers and our local economy?
.
It’s not an exhaustive list, but their programs have provided over 2000 local food boxes to food insecure households over the last 3 years, provide school meals to three and deliver soup to fourteen Shuswap schools, and they also created SHU-Box Food Coupons to provide support for folks to shop and enjoy the Farmers Market.
.
All of these programs support and keep farmers and food producers in this community, and are part of the reason we are fighting so hard to stay in this community, so we can someday continue to support this amazing organization.
.
The upcoming fundraiser @coldest_night_shuswap is kicking off this month and its a major income driver for many of these programs.
.
Please enjoy these pics of some hopeful Shuswap farmers, the land they actively improved over the last 3 years, and all the amazing food we bought from our friends and fellow producers this year in @downtown_salmon_arm.

It’s been almost a year since we last posted on here / Wir haben für viele Monate nichts geposted
.
Unfortunately, we haven’t yet found a solution to the situation we find ourselves in, but I wanted to jump on here and talk about food and community and how important it is for us all to support the growers and people in our communities that work towards a stronger, more food secure future, for us all.
.
No one wins when a farmer looses their access to the land, and as we continue to face a housing affordability shortfall in our region, I know our situation is not unique. So, what can we do?
.
We have been fortunate to have been supported by the @shuswapfoodaction society, who run the @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market, which they have grown into a year-round market with over 50 vendors.
.
But did you know that they also run various other programs in our community that directly benefit farmers and our local economy?
.
It’s not an exhaustive list, but their programs have provided over 2000 local food boxes to food insecure households over the last 3 years, provide school meals to three and deliver soup to fourteen Shuswap schools, and they also created SHU-Box Food Coupons to provide support for folks to shop and enjoy the Farmers Market.
.
All of these programs support and keep farmers and food producers in this community, and are part of the reason we are fighting so hard to stay in this community, so we can someday continue to support this amazing organization.
.
The upcoming fundraiser @coldest_night_shuswap is kicking off this month and its a major income driver for many of these programs.

Next weekend will be our last farmers market for the foreseeable future / Letzter Markt nächste Wochenende
.
They say food prices are going to continue to rise and there has never been a more important time to support your local food system, so it pains us to have to share this news.
.
As many of you know, we have been facing land insecurity since the property we lease was bought in July. We are not sure yet where we will end up, or if we can continue farming in this community, but one thing is abundantly clear, we can no longer farm the piece of land we have been improving and caring for for the last four years.
.
Here’s a little throwback to some of our beautiful veggies this year. It’s been an absolute pleasure sharing our harvests with you all and growing with the community of Salmon Arm. We truly appreciate all the support.
.
What we need right now is time.
.
Time to reset and regroup and reflect on where to go next. We have loved growing with you all and look forward to seeing you again soon @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market 😘

Soup. What does that have to do with the farmers market? / Suppe. Alles für die Gemeinschaft.
.
This is the second year there has been a winter farmers market in Salmon Arm, and for that we can thank our farmers and makers, you, our community for showing up every week, and @shuswapfoodaction who manage the market and ensure as many people as possible have access to fresh, healthy, local food, in our community.
.
Every market this winter, just as the cold seems to settle on your skin, we have been treated to a cup of soup brought to market by the very people who make it possible for us to show up and feed our community. It’s a simple gesture, but it’s rooted in so much more than that.
.
This Saturday, after the market, @shuswapfoodaction will be hosting a potluck, there will be soup, and conversation, and community gathering. We hope to see you @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market this weekend, where we will begin fundraising for the annual @shuswapfoodaction @cnoyorg fundraiser. Come hang out and learn about all the good work happening in our community.

It’s been a little quiet over here / Wir mussten entspannen.
.
Since 2017, when we decided to start a farm we have both been working two jobs, and burnout amoung young farmers is a real problem, so we are grateful to have had the opportunity to stay home this holiday season for a couple of weeks.
.
We got lots of cuddles in, played with some beautiful Canadian wool from @customwoolenmills and @westcoastcolour and ate the best food our community has to offer. Including this Christmas Eve fondue tradition, made all the more special by our own veggies and the pork and lard from neighbours @keenanfamilyfarms, water buffalo from @reverentacres, and beautiful Napa cabbage wedges from @green_croft_gardens
.
We’re looking forward to seeing you all in 2023 @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market. New time 10am-1pm, same delicious local food.

How did we get here? / Der Weg der uns zur Landwirtschaft brachte

Listen live today at 9am on @voiceoftheshuswap as we chat with Warren Bell about our experience starting a farm in the Shuswap and growing with this community.
.
A strong community is the result of many dedicated people, and having an independent radio station and studio in our community is an important part of that network.

Looking forward to contributing to the conversation today, and sharing a little bit of our story.

We hope that like Luna you’ve been taking an opportunity to rest as the weather changes / Zeit zum entspannen
.
We are definitely enjoying the slower pace, but don’t forget that the @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market runs biweekly through the winter, and is on this weekend from 11-2pm!
.
That means you have time for a lazy morning, a good stretch, and a breakfast or coffee at your favourite local haunt before you hit the market.
.
@downtown_salmon_arm is home to so many awesome small businesses. We usually stop by @anvilcoffeecollective or @ecotreats for a coffee and love the options and variety offered by @shuswappieco @hanoi36sa @weekendsonalex @stillfoodbistro @thenomshuswap and @nightcafe_est.2020 which are all just a few steps away from the market!
.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend! One thing is for sure, we’ll be eating well 😋

Spent a few days picking apples for a friend this week / Apfelhof besuch
.
When we moved back from Germany we wanted to continue working in agriculture and worked full time for 3 seasons on a commercial apple orchard caring and tending to 40 acres of apples and 10 acres of wine grapes.
.
This week we answered a call for help and joined or old picking crew for the apple harvest.
.
What many people forget is that food is the product of labour, hard, exhausting labour. I‘m not in apple shape any more, and it’s been a few years since I‘ve picked, so I am feeling the labour in my body today. Our friends are closing in on week 6 of the harvest and have been hand harvesting thousands of pounds of apples daily using only a picking bag and a three legged ladder. To say this is exhausting work is an understatement.
.
I know that the price of food is steadily increasing, but we believe that the people who ensure there is food on your table deserve a living wage, and overwhelmingly this is not the case for most agricultural workers.
.
As you enjoy your next meal I encourage you to think about all the farmers and agriculture workers out there who are out there providing food for your table and show your local farmers and ag workers some love this week. Chances are they are exhausted and could use the support.

Thank you / Dankeschön
.
Just want to take a minute to say thank you to our community for all of your support this last year.
.
It hasn’t been an easy year for us as we navigate all of the changes that have come with a new landowner, but one thing has remained constant, and that is the community we get to see every week @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market.
.
Seeing your beautiful smiling faces every week and all the other vendors truly lifts us up, it reminds us why we do what we do and love, and fills us with so much gratitude for this community.
.
A big thank you to the @shuswapfoodaction for running this market and building a strong resilient community around food. Salmon Arm would be a much different place without you.

Did you know we have turkeys? / Hast du schon deinen Erntedankfest Truthahn?
.
We’ve been slowly adding some poultry to our operation over the last few years and we still have a few fresh certified organic turkeys available for this weekend!
.
Our turkeys enjoy local organic feed from @petesfeed, vegetable trim from our gardens, and are raised outdoors on a rotating pasture. They’ve done wonders for our grasshopper population, and we love having them around on the farm.
.
If you’re still looking for something to share with family and friends around the dinner table this weekend come see us @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market this weekend or shoot us a message!

Most people live for summer, but we’re all about those Fall harvests / Erntezeit ist besser als Sommer
.
We’re super excited about our lineup of hot peppers this year. We’ve never had so many varieties and I’m looking forward to playing with them all winter long.
.
It’s organic week this week so make sure to stop by your favourite organic farmer and support biodiversity and healthy choices for the planet.
.
We’ll be @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market this Saturday with the best of both Summer and Fall!

Seed biodiversity is so important / Samen Vielfalt ist sehr wichtig.
.
I got the seed tomato for these Cuore di bue from a coworker whose dad has been growing these and saving the seeds in Revelstoke for decades. Clocking in at 2.5 lb and 8 inches across, this is one epic sauce tomato.
.
We save most of our tomato seed and are always on the lookout for new varieties. I am loving this new addition, and can’t wait to pop one out of the freezer this winter.
.
We’ll have the first big sandwich slicer heirloom tomatoes @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market tomorrow. Can’t wait to see you all there!

Lunas face says it all / Wir haben schlechte Nachrichten
.
As many of you know the property we lease was listed for sale. The good news is that it has been sold, but the bad news is that we are currently facing a hostile takeover by the new landlord.
.
Unfortunately, this means that we will have to pull out of the @polsonmarket as we are not sure what the future will hold, and will need some extra time to regroup. We hope that we can stay here and support the food security of the amazing communities we live in and want to thank you all for your support as we have grown this business.

I would understand if you told me you didn’t like cauliflower / Ich kann es verstehen wenn du keinen Blumenkohl magst
.
I mostly associate cauliflower with subpar grocery store veggie platters or steamed at dinner with very little adornment as a child.
.
But, we’ve been eating pasta with a spicy tomato caper and cauliflower sauce all week, so let me tell you a secret, cauliflower is a sponge to anything you cook it in.
.
We’ll have these gorgeous heads as well as our super sweet sugar snaps, beautiful summer cabbage, freshly dug carrots and all the usual suspects @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers
market tomorrow from 9-1. Can‘t wait to see you all there!

I just couldn’t resist checking for a few more snap peas this morning / Mogendliche Ernte
.
It was five degrees this morning, that’s pretty cool for the end of June, but better than last year when the heat dome burned out the peas after one week.
.
We’ll have the first snap peas, broccoli bunches, green onions, beets, carrots, radishes, and the most beautiful head lettuces today. Looking forward to seeing you @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market from 9-1 😘

Got the last of the Fall brassicas in, snap peas are starting to pump, and check out these beautiful summer cabbages! Also, Robin made cinnamon buns because I broke a bunch of eggs, and we found the first pattypans.

Head lettuce is on fire this week / Kopfsalat sieht sehr gut aus

If you ever wanted a wedge salad in your life this is the week. Six varieties of beautiful crisp head lettuce headed to the @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market and @polsonmarket this week.
.
Including two of my favorite Batavian types, lots of romaine and the first of our icebergs. I love slicing into these wedges with a steak knife!

How do you build strong communities? / Was kann Man für eine bessere Welt machen?
.
By supporting your neighbours and local producers of course!
.
This was a super tasty meal of lettuce wraps made with one of our awesome Austrian heirloom lettuces and filled completely with local food grown in our community from fellow vendors @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market
.
Lettuce, radishes and basil from @lovelandacres, pepper from @littlemntfarm green onions from @spottedmoosefarm micro greens from @lagrangemarketgardens and water buffalo (not pictured) from @reverentacres
.
Looking forward to hitting up our friends and neighbours this week for more locally grown deliciousness. This meal was super tasty, but knowing it all came from people we know in the Shuswap made it taste even more delicious. See you at the market!

Head Lettuce season is here / Endlich, die Kopfsalatsaison ist eröffnet
.
I’m so obsessed with head lettuce I demand to harvest wash and pack them all by myself so I can enjoy each unfurling flower.
.
We’ll have the first heads from our field
@downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market today, as well as all your favourite salad fixings, radishes, arugula, big bunches of kale and chard!

Little pleasures en route to the market today / Kleine Leckereien frisch für euch geerntet
.
It’s been a cold windy spring, with very little sun, and we farm on the shady side of a pretty narrow valley, so these little harvests seem extra precious these days.
.
Come find the best that spring has to offer @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market today from 9-1. We’ll have lots of veggie starts, Robin’s delicious bread and the first of our cold hardy crops coming out of the fields!

Some of us are working harder than others these days / Wir arbeiten, Luna schläft
.
Robin has been busy building our new chicken trailer, I’ve been busy in the greenhouse, and Luna has been taking it easy.
.
We’ll have lots of veggie starts and the first little tastes of Spring @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers and @polsonmarket this weekend.
.
Looking forward to meeting all the new vendors and seeing the community support each other 🥰

What are you growing this year? / Was pflanzt du in deinem Garten?
.
We made up these sweet kale and chard six packs for the markets this year. A perfect little solution to tackle food insecurity and inflation no matter how big or small your space.
.
Chard is one of the easiest and most versatile things you can grow and the best thing about it is you can harvest it all season long!
.
Harvest the big outer leaves weekly, and if you don’t need them them blanch them, chop them and put them in the freezer. Winter you will be forever grateful.
.
Looking forward to seeing you all @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market from 9-1 this Saturday in Salmon Arm and starting next week Fridays @polsonmarket in Vernon.

The flavours of Spring / Der Geschmack des Frühlings
.
No two salad mixes are alike, but I think ours is pretty swell. We’ll have lots of our salad mix @downtown_salmon_arm_farmers market tomorrow, as well as veggie and herb starts, bread, and eggs!
.
It’s the first market of the summer season, which means we’re running weekly now from 9am - 1pm.
.
Can’t wait to see you all!

What do we do when farmers can no longer afford to farm? / Wer versorgt dich mit frischen Lebensmitteln, wenn der Landwirt sich kein Land mehr leisten kann?
.
As many of you know we run our business on rented land, and unfortunately our landlord is needing to sell, which means it’s possible we’ll have to move and not be able to continue farming here and feeding our community.
.
We love this land and believe it needs to be protected, we lease only 2 acres off a 100 acre piece that has been managed organically for over 20 years, and the wild biodiversity is something that needs to be treasured and cared for.
.
Land prices rose 20% in the last year in this area and the price tag on this piece is in the millions.
.
We are facing a future where farmers and the people who feed their communities will not have access to land. So we’re putting it out there, do you or someone you know want to protect and preserve our foodlands and the environment for generations to come?
.
Are you worried about food security? Maybe you know someone who is looking to move to our area and would like to support a farmer? Or perhaps you are concerned about the capitalist systems that dictate our lives and rely all too heavily on short term resource extraction?
.
We’d love to find someone who shares our principles and values to buy this land and believe we can make a difference when we all work together towards the same goal.
.
Please like and share this post, help us spread the word, we could build something great!
.
All photos taken on the land 😘

This shallot is more valuable than its price per pound / Geld kann man nicht essen
.
It feeds us in one of the scarcest times of the year, and so we hold it in high regard. It’s around this time that we rely heavily on the foods we’ve processed and preserved, like cured onions, canned tomatoes and dried peppers.
.
We think humans need to get back to eating locally and seasonally, and so we’re always looking for new ways to add
variety for our customers year round.
.
What are some of your favourite storage crops and spring eats?
