Here's a quick look at the farm! We are so excited for the fall season and have a lot of seasonal veggies growing. Right now our greens like lettuce, salad mix, and arugula are ready to cut and sell at market. Our other greens including collards, kale, and spinach are young and healthy. Root crops including carrots, turnips, and radish are seeded and popping up. Alongside our cool season veggies are our summer crops, making their last push at producing for the year. We have melons, okra, pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers, and peas! #farming #gardening #localproduce #fortworthfarms #growsoutheast #fallproduce #farmersmarket

Those are some gorgeous weeds!!!! We plant wildflowers on the farm for many great reasons. Our flower beds improve soil health, bring in pollinators, increase diversity, help with water quality, and create beautiful landscapes! How many species can you identify? #flowers #flowergarden #plants #spring #springintexas

it's tomato planting time! Depending on how much of a risk taker you are, folks generally prefer to plant tomatoes anytime between mid-March and mid-April in north Texas right before or after the last frost date. We planted our tomatoes March 18th-20th! We prepare 100-foot beds and add compost before laying weed fabric. The furrows or trenches between each bed are mulched heavily to suppress weeds, hold water, and slowly release nutrients over a long period. We burn 6-inch holes in the weed fabric every 2 feet before digging out holes for each tomato plant. A handful of slow-release organic fertilizer is added to the hole before planting and filling. #tomatoes #tomatoplanting #tomatoseason #tomatofarming #localproduce #fortworthfarming #gardening #farmlife

Quick update on what's been going on at Opal's Farm! We are preparing for the Spring and summer season by getting beds ready! We will be planting beans, peas, cucumbers, okra, and lots of tomatoes by the first of April! Big shout out to Reading Partners North Texas and CIEE for all your help in making the farm look great! We will be at Cowtown Farmers Market tomorrow from 8am-12pm selling lots of veggies! Come say hi! Reminder - March 18th is our tomato planting day. We'd love for y'all to volunteer and get to know the farm! #localfood #community #springgrowing #summerfarming #okra #tomatoes #regenerativeagriculture #fortworthfarms

We've gotten some great recipe ideas from our customers lately on what to do with our produce. Here is a "How-to" for southern greens using Opal's mustards and turnips. The pork comes from a local farm and friend First Earth Farm. Recipe inspiration comes from "I Heart Recipes" at the link here. https://iheartrecipes.com/southern-mixed-greens-turnips/ #southerngreens #localproduce #community #cowtownfarmersmarket #turnips #asiangreens

Ever wondered how we prep our biointensive beds at the farm? Here is a simple step-by-step guide through the process. We do not use heavy machinery in our biointensive fields. This helps limit soil compaction and heavy tillage. We do this to build soil health and structure so that our produce is healthy and nutrient-dense. This is an excellent way for new farmers/gardeners with limited acreage to start growing food for themselves and their communities. #regenerativeagriculture #community #soilhealth #fortworth #opalsfarm #localproduce
