Today was a great day at the Kamloops Farmers Market! I had quite a few customers pre-order their selection of microgreens in a reusable/returnable container, which really helps cut down on single use plastic waste.

My very first hen, Peach. I picked her out of a wooden box at a feed store 5 years ago with her sister Ginger. Today, she crossed the rainbow bridge. She was such a gentle old girl, with the cutest little purr of excitement that she would let out anytime I’d bring snacks. She will surely be missed here at the tiny farm! Thanks Peach, for the wonderful eggs and your fun personality.

Today is microgreen harvest and packing day for the Kamloops Farmers Market, which is happening tomorrow from 8:30-12:30 on St.Paul Street. So, until late tonight I’ll be busy clipping away and listening to something poppy to keep me movin! (There’s definitely a little Dance Mix ‘96 up in this grow room today)

Ok…ok…. I know I don’t even have flowers blooming yet - but I have to announce that PUMPKIN PLANTING has commenced!!!

Last year’s pumpkin flower arrangements were such a hit that I knew I had to bring them back for 2025. I have planted about 10 different types of gorgeous ornamental pumpkins in my grow room. They will be planted out in a few weeks, and will steadily grow alongside my flowers until they are ready to harvest and stuff with floral fun at the end of October.

And the fun doesn’t stop there - for those interested in joining me for an evening of hands on creativity, I will be offering a
⭐️ PUMPKIN CENTREPIECE WORKSHOP⭐️ where you will be able to build your very own magical floral pumpkin arrangement to dress up your thanksgiving or holiday table.

Space will be limited - so if you want to get on the workshop invite list ahead of the crowd, DM me for details!

I love seeing what creations are made with my humble little microgreens. This delicious avocado toast was whipped up using a pack of my spicy mix (radish, arugula, cress and mustard) by the super lovely , whom I have had the pleasure of meeting at the Kamloops Farmer’s Market! I wish my avocado toast looked so pretty ! (Mine ends up looking like a toddler was in charge😆) Thanks for the shot, Geralyn!

Microgreens are happily growing in the grow room here at West End Tiny Farm. These will be harvested for the upcoming Kamloops Farmers Market this Saturday! I’ll have plenty of microgreens available, including these tasty little pea shoots! Come on down to St.Paul street this Saturday from 8:30-12:30 and check out all the market fun!

I am only a few short months away from being able to cut stems again. Reminiscing over photos of last year’s spring snapdragon beds, the excitement is definitely building!

I have fully gotten myself back in the groove of planting, tending to, and moving seedlings from the grow room to the green house.

Besides snapdragons, I have dahlias (of course!) rudbeckia, yarrow, scabiosa, celosia, zinnias, asters, feverfew, coneflower, sunflowers, mint, ageratum, didiscus, and many other gorgeous varieties growing away for this years bouquets and arrangements.

Did you know you can order your microgreens from me in reusable containers? As a way to reduce your plastic waste, I offer a “reusable container program” at no extra cost for those who get delivery or pick up from me on a regular basis. How it works is like this: you place a recurring order with me (either one week or two week intervals) and your greens are packed into these sturdy plastic take out containers. Once you finish your greens, just give the container a rinse and have ready for me to exchange during your next order. If you are wanting to get delicious and nutritious microgreens on a regular basis, send me a message for more info!

Today is going to be a very busy day in the grow room!

I have a TON of microgreens to plant for the upcoming Kamloops outdoor Farmers Market on April 19th! Yep - that’s right - our market is moving back to our amazing outdoor location on St.Paul street in two short weeks.

I am so excited to see all of my market vendor friends and be part of the local goods action for the 4th year in a row.

(I’ll be honest, I’m not looking forward to the chilly mornings but I AM looking forward to freshly brewed ☕️ coffee from my pals .croft to warm me up!) Mark it on your calendar, it will be a great way to spend your Saturday!

This is my 4th year in urban flower farming, and I have a little secret to tell you.

This year, I almost decided not to keep going!!!!🫣😖 Why?

Well, after three exciting and chaotic years of wearing the burdens of entrepreneurship, burnout hit me like a ton of bricks. This fall, every ounce of energy seemed to drain from me. I couldn’t even feel the slightest bit of interest in urban farming. I was EXHAUSTED physically and mentally. My body was telling me this last year but I didn’t listen. And nearing the end of 2024’s fall, I was experiencing symptoms that were hard to ignore.

My skin health, which has been a constant challenge for me for the last decade, started to decline dramatically. (For those who are not aware, a decade ago I went through a horrific skin loss illness called Topical Steroid Withdrawal/Burning Skin Syndrome, and ever since then my skin and nerves have been ultra sensitive and a constant source of pain and discomfort)

The toll that chronic illness can take on a person is very dynamic and deep reaching. When you pair that with owning and running a small farm, the depth of pressure and strain one can feel is immense.

And that’s where I was. I needed a break. For the first time in ten years, I was heard saying “Thank goodness for WINTER”. My much needed break came, and instead of spending the cold months obsessing over farm expansions and new varieties to grow, I completely pushed it all out of my head and focused on me for a change. Something I have not been able to do for three full years.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my tiny farm, and all of the magic it hasbrought into my life. But it was time to sit back and love myself for a change. I focused on yoga, eating right, reducing stress, and taking a much needed vacation with my amazing partner. And boy, was that ever what the body and soul needed.

Now, after a really good recharge and health reset, I gained back my energy and desire to keep going with this passion project. So… it’s full steam ahead towards a 4th year of floral fun here at West End Tiny Farm!

It’s Friday night and there are lots of microgreens being harvested for the Kamloops Spring Farmers Market at the Mount Paul Community Food Centre. I will be there with radish, pea shoots,
Sunflower, and of course the ever popular micro mix. (A blend of 5-6 varieties). Doors open from 10-2, so come down and check out the amazing local vendors and their goods!

I am excited to share that I will be teaching my first official Workshop! 🤓 You guessed it - it’s a 🌱Microgreens🌱 Workshop! This will be fun for people of all ages to attend, whether you are a seasoned gardener or someone who hasn’t ever planted a seed in your life. All you will need is a smile and the ability to laugh at my silly puns while I teach you how to grow your very own radish and pea microgreens! Spots are limited, so make sure to get your name on the list soon.
