We grew about 500 pounds of vegetables per year here, but we said farewell to our Ferndale urban farm this fall. The name was an inside joke but the meaning rings true. We've relocated to New Hampshire, where the garden will be bigger and so will our dreams. (Photos by the incredibly talented Nic Antaya) Follow our latest adventures at Bradbury Farms!

Summer bounty in the garden

First real 2021 harvest

06/25/2021

The garden is humming along!

06/14/2021

Our tiny, messy strawberry patch yielded enough berries for a batch of 20 pints of strawberry-rhubarb jam (rhubarb from the farmers market). Plus our snacking and a strawberry-rhubarb cake, we’ve probably harvested 6 pounds. It’s nearing the end of but not quite done yet.

06/09/2021

Enjoy the garden and its bounty.

Putting up the harvest: chive blossom and shallot scape vinegars

Our first radish bouquet this year 💐

04/11/2021

A lot happening on the farm already!

03/10/2021

Gardening and preserving go hand in hand. We’ve heard about canning supply shortages and checked shelves anxiously. Today we scored the elusive canning lids at the Eight Mile Meijer. Bring on salsa 2021!

02/28/2021

Grinding our flour, because that’s what we do ... looking forward to the day we grow our own wheat!

Pepper “toddlers” are now 30 days old and in their first up-potting.

Pepper babies are 14 days old:

Winter (January 29th) on the urban farm:

Yet there is hope... Rosemary started on January 16th.

Peppers and Parsley started today:

YOLO!

01/12/2021

In the winter, we turn to microgreens.

Now fermenting: Homemade immune-boosting fire cider!

Even the plants are confused right now.

The “not quite done tomato harvest”! These were from the sucker plants we planted in June and the main plants before the frost. We ripened them in paper bags, and they are now in the freezer for winter stews, soups and sauces.

09/30/2020

Turning over a new leaf: 2 tomato beds cleared and prepped for garlic, which we planted this week.

09/30/2020

Things are slowing down at YoLo Farms but our second flush of tomatoes is producing, Dawn’s favorite yellow Brandywines, in particular. Also we are basically stocked with ghost peppers for life.

08/19/2020

Hot hot hotter! Habanero powder and a double dose of ghost pepper powder. Masks and gloves were definitely used in the production of this spice trio.

08/05/2020

Summer abundance: We used 6 pounds in a fresh pasta sauce last night. Truly the best time of the year.

08/01/2020

This is what around 1 million scoville units looks like.

07/24/2020

Tomatoes galore! To think that 2 weeks ago I was pining for the first one to ripen. What’s your favorite summer recipe?

07/18/2020

Camo and a black light, 9 pm ...

07/18/2020

A little garden tour on this hot July day. Things are heating up in the garden as well!

07/16/2020

First major tomato harvest but we had some cracking from all the rain... Black Prince, Brandywine Red, Cuor di Bue, Sungold, Yellow Pear, and Chocolate Cherry.

07/08/2020

1 4x8’ bed, 2.5 lbs. (18 bulbs) of seed garlic, and 8 months yielded: 97 bulbs (7.125 lbs.) of garlic. Five varieties, can’t wait to taste-test them all.

07/04/2020

First pickling of 2020 — banana peppers — and sourdough rye! This is a good day.

06/30/2020

Tomato plants taller than my wingspan! Where will they go next?

06/30/2020

Welcome to our first ripe regular tomato of the 2020 season! It’s a Black Prince, a new variety for us this year. The first tomato is cause for great celebration, and the best grilled cheese/tomato sandwich. Here’s to many more tomatoes in our bellies!
