This is real life, right?! 😄🙌 I love spending our Sundays at the @coopersburg_farmers_market sharing our harvest with the community. It hardly feels like "work!" It's so fun getting to know the regulars who come back each week and how they get excited for a new item or their favorite veggies. Makes my day every time! Great way to start the week. Thanks for all of your support!
Special shout out to my parents this week for helping Ken and I set up, restock and break down. 😌❤️

Great day at the market! So many vegetables and fresh herbs!! 😍 🙌 @coopersburg_farmers_market
One of the last conversations with a customer today was all about how our current food system is so fragile, unhealthy, and not serving our communities to promote health. We shared with her how we care for the land, our flock of hens, and go beyond just growing certified organic seeds and not spraying toxic herbicides and pesticides. How we farm is so much more than "organic." We add to the biodiversity of the land by planting native wildflowers, native fruit and nut trees, and by practicing no dig methods to build healthy soil and create a sustainable system for our family and yours. She was so appreciative of the extra effort and care we take every day. Every community needs more small farms using practices that promote more biodiversity and humanely care for their animals. ❤️
We hope you all enjoy your beyond organic, yummy veggies and pastured eggs this week. 🥕
Thank you for supporting our small farm!
xo, Ken & Carolyn 🥰

Dreamland Kids' spring herb walk was so fun 😁 The kids were so interested in learning about wild herbs, I just loved their curiosity!
We first learned how to identify poison ivy for safety while walking around the farm. Then we discovered stinging nettle, violet, and dandelion and learned all about how to safely harvest and use each plant. We gave Louie his favorite snack (violets!) and collected leaves and flowers for a self-portrait. ✨️❤️
Stay tuned for more kids' classes to be posted soon!

Let's pot up some tomatoes! 🤩 🍅 If you have the luxury of starting seeds inside to get a jump start on warmer season crops like tomatoes, at this point, you'll want to "pot 'em up!" This is essentially just putting the plant in a bigger container with more soil or compost (aka nutrients) so they can continue to get bigger before you're ready to plant them outside.
Right now, our big tunnel is full of early crops for members (radish, lettuce, spinach, beets, arugula, baby kale, carrots), so we are potting up so the tomatoes can continue growing until there's room in the big tunnel.
Happy gardening! I love spring 🥰🌿🌱

What do you think? Is it too bragadocious to only share the positive things on social media? 🤔 Or is it completely acceptable to just share what's going well, things to celebrate, and things to be proud of? At this point, I think we all know someone's feed isn't the whole story! Why not make it about the brighter sides of life? Food for thought. 🍅
