I am SO grateful to be sowing seeds again this spring 🌱 To be part of keeping their genetics alive, these little time capsules of generations of farmers, seed savers and gardeners. Thank you SO much to all the farmers in our community for working so hard at keeping our local food systems abundant. We appreciate you! Thank you to all the farmers near and far who work hard at creating resilient, sustainable food systems. 🫛 Thank you thank you thank you 💕 I’m SO grateful for the food I get to eat everyday. Not a day goes by that I don’t acknowledge this privilege. I’m stoked for another growing season 🥗 Happy spring y’all 😘 👩‍🌾

Hi there 🌱🌷
I’m curious what other homesteaders are using for compost bins/ piles these days?
I had a three bin system , 4 feet wide bins.
We built them in 2017 and didn’t concrete the driftwood posts we used, plus I never rat proofed it 🤪
This system worked for the most part till last year. Posts have rotted out. Plus I’ve had rat problems in my seeding greenhouse which is behind bins and I want to rat proof the new bins.
The area is 5x15 for new bins and I have a garden area of 700 square feet that produces compostable materials for these bins.
I’m thinking three bin system again with concreted posts and rat proof sized wire. But then would need to have lids? Doors?
So I’m reaching out for suggestions 👩‍🌾
Thanks so much 🐝
Looking so forward to spring 😍

I’m always presently surprised at what herbs find me. This year mullein has. This is a beautiful herb plant I’ve used for years and has always volunteered around our farm 🌱 This year there was quite a few, so I re researched it. I was very excited to come across new info to me about this herb that I’d love to share 💕
Verbascum thapsus also known as the candle 🕯️ wick plant, witches torch, witches candles has been used as a carrier of fire 🔥 The plants beautiful seed head is harvested and used as the candle wick. Leaving the stem long so you can use them as a free standing torch ( safely of course) SO cool! They used lard originally to cover the seed head wick but now wax is used. We used local bees wax sheets and decided on Cedar, Roman Chamomile , Lavender and Rose as our botanicals 🙂 Twas beautiful to play with the bees wax, botanicals and the Mullein in a new way. Can’t wait to light one up 🔥

Every year for many years now as an Autumn ritual I make fire cider. Using as many ingredients as we can from our farm and as 🔥🥰 locally as possible.
It’s immune boosting, supports digestion, energy giving, circulation stimulating, respiratory clearing, anti-inflammatory and a good ol anti-oxidant tonic 🧡 This year my friend Kim Lavender Kitchen even made her own apple cider vinegar for us all to use🧡 Ingredients used this year: home made apple cider vinegar, onions, garlic, cayenne, jalapeños, rosemary, thyme, sage, rose hips, cloves, black peppercorns, local cranberries , lemons, ginger and tumeric. 🔥
I take it warmed diluted with hot water, a shot on its own if I’m feeling I need it or if I need a zing 😝
It’s beautiful easy to make medicine for heading into winter ♥️♥️
Thanks for gathering and making medicine ladies
