🌾🧀 New Seasonal Cheeses at the Farm Store! 🍷🍇
We’re excited to bring you two incredible seasonal cheeses from our friends at Finney Farms — and trust us, you’re going to want to try these!

🧀✨ Cranberry Cheddar

This beautiful cheddar is blended with tart, juicy cranberries that add just the right touch of sweetness. It’s festive, delicious, and perfect for fall snacking, charcuterie boards, or pairing with your favorite farm-fresh apples.
Rich, creamy, sweet-tart perfection.

🍷🧀 White Wine–Infused Cheese

This one has us extra excited — a special collaboration between Finney Farms and Water Canyon Winery of Hilldale, Utah! The cheese is gently infused with white wine, creating a smooth, aromatic flavor that’s both bright and creamy.
Wine and cheese are a natural match — the acidity of wine cuts through the rich creaminess of cheese, and the cheese softens the wine’s sharper notes. The result? A beautiful fusion of flavors that makes each bite melt-in-your-mouth amazing.

🌟 Why These Cheeses Are So Good
• Cranberries bring antioxidants and a lovely sweet-tart pop.
• White wine infusion enhances aroma, adds depth, and creates an irresistibly smooth texture.
• Both cheeses are perfect for entertaining, gifting, or treating yourself to something special.

🛒 Available Now at the Living Earth Farms Store

Swing by the farm store this week to pick some up! These are seasonal and limited — once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Come support local producers and enjoy something truly delicious. 💚

🌼 Flowers in November? Yep — still going strong at the farm! 🌼

Farmer Jon went out this morning and filmed one of our garden beds… and even in mid-November, it’s bursting with blooms. 💐✨
We’re as surprised as you are — but also incredibly grateful.

Why does this matter?
Because flowers aren’t just pretty — they’re powerhouses for our farm’s ecosystem:

🐝 Pollinator Fuel: Bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects depend on late-season blooms for nectar and pollen. These flowers help them store energy before winter hits.

🌱 Stronger Harvests: More pollinators = better fruit set, healthier plants, and bigger harvests. Flowers help us grow the food you take home!

🌍 Biodiversity Boost: Flower-filled spaces support everything from native bees to predatory insects that naturally reduce pests.

So when Jon walks past a November garden still full of color, it’s more than beautiful — it’s a sign that our little ecosystem is alive, balanced, and working exactly as nature designed. 🌿💛

🌱 Garlic Planting Has Begun at Living Earth Farms! 🧄✨

We officially kicked off our garlic planting today, starting with the first of our two varieties for next year’s harvest. This season, we’re planting both hardneck and softneck garlic to offer a great mix of flavor, storage life, and versatility for our customers.

🧄 Hardneck Garlic
• Rich, bold, complex flavor
• Produces delicious scapes in early summer
• Larger, easy-to-peel cloves
• Excellent cold-hardiness

🧄 Softneck Garlic
• Outstanding storage life — lasts for months
• More cloves per bulb
• Mild, flexible flavor for everyday cooking
• Perfect for garlic braids

By growing both types, we’ll have a full spectrum of garlic next year — from strong and spicy to mild and long-keeping.

⸻

☀️ Why We’re Planting Later This Year

You may notice we’re planting garlic a bit later than usual. That’s because we’ve had an unusually warm fall, and garlic needs cool soil to get properly established. Planting too early in warm soil can cause:
• Too much top growth, making plants vulnerable to winter damage
• Smaller bulbs next summer
• Higher disease and pest pressure

Now that temperatures are finally cooling down, it’s the perfect window to get garlic in the ground so it can root in deeply before winter.

⸻

🌿 Benefits of the Brown W**d Fabric

We’re using brown w**d-suppressing fabric again this season because it makes a big difference in crop quality:
• Reduces w**ds so the garlic gets all the nutrients
• Helps soil retain moisture
• Warms the soil gently, ideal for fall planting
• Improves soil structure by cutting down on disturbance
• Saves labor time during busy growing months

⸻

We’re excited to see these rows take off over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates — and get ready for some beautiful garlic coming to the Living Earth Farms store next year! 🌱🧄✨

🌱 Soil Magic in the Pumpkin Patch! 🎃✨

This week we wrapped up a really satisfying project in the garden where our pumpkins grew this season. After the plants finished producing, we covered the whole area with a silage tarp and left it for about 3–4 weeks — no water, no disturbance, just time and biology at work.

When we pulled the tarp back… WOW.
The soil was dark, soft, moist, and absolutely alive. Exactly what we love to see here at Living Earth Farms.

We then came through with the BCS tractor and gently shredded the remaining plant material, letting it become food for the soil life that’s already thriving.

🌾 Why this matters for soil & plant health:

• W**d suppression: The tarp blocks sunlight, naturally reducing w**d pressure — fewer w**ds competing with our crops later in the season.
• Moisture retention: Even with zero irrigation, the soil stayed hydrated and healthy under the tarp.
• Biology boost: Without disturbance, soil organisms get to work breaking down roots and plant residue, building structure and organic matter.
• Carbon + nutrients return to the soil: Shredded plant material becomes a slow-release nutrient source for future crops.
• Healthier soil = healthier plants: Strong soil structure and active biology make it easier for crops to access nutrients, fend off stress, and grow more vigorously.

This simple, low-tech practice is one of our favorite ways to build long-term soil health while reducing labor — and the results speak for themselves.

Here’s to nurturing the land that feeds us. 🌎💚

🍎✨ New Product Alert! ✨🍎

We’re excited to share that our farm store is now carrying fresh, organic apple cider from a local farm that does it right! 🍏🌿

If you’ve ever sipped real apple cider, you know it’s one of fall’s greatest simple pleasures — rich, tangy, and full of flavor straight from the orchard. But here’s something not everyone knows: apple cider can sometimes make the “Dirty Dozen” list. That’s because apples are among the most heavily sprayed fruits in conventional farming, and when they’re pressed into cider, all those residues can concentrate in the juice.

That’s why organic apples matter — no synthetic pesticides, no chemical residues, just pure, clean fruit. Choosing organic cider means you’re supporting healthier soil, cleaner water, and a safer, more sustainable food system for our community.

Stop by the store this week to grab a bottle (or two!) of this small-batch organic cider while it lasts — it’s perfect chilled, warmed with cinnamon, or mixed into your favorite fall recipes. 🍂🥂community.

🌾 Weekly Wheatgrass for Happy Hens at Living Earth Farms 🐔💚

We’ve started growing fresh wheatgrass every week for our chickens — and they’re loving it! Not only does it give them something fresh and green to peck at, it’s also a powerful nutritional boost that keeps our flock thriving all year long.

Wheatgrass is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, plus minerals like calcium and magnesium — all great for strong eggshells, bright feathers, and healthy immune systems. It’s also rich in chlorophyll, which helps detoxify and support digestion. 🌱

And the science backs it up:
📚 Early research from the 1920s found that hens fed cereal grasses like wheatgrass laid more eggs with stronger shells.
📚 Modern studies show sprouted and green grains can improve feed efficiency, raise “good” cholesterol, and support overall vitality in chickens.
📚 Even when pasture is limited, fresh greens help mimic natural foraging and reduce stress.

For us, this is about more than nutrition — it’s about giving our animals the kind of care and diversity they’d find in nature. When our hens are healthy and happy, their eggs are too. 🥚✨

We grow our wheatgrass right here on the farm — part of our commitment to self-sufficiency and regenerative food systems. Another small way we’re building community resilience, one tray of greens (and one happy hen!) at a time. 💚

Ever seen markings like this on a watermelon?
This beautiful spiral isn’t a flaw — it’s called scarring or catfacing, and it happens when an insect gently touches the young rind and a scar forms early in the fruit’s growth.

As the melon grows, that tiny mark stretches into a pattern — like nature’s own fingerprint. 🌀
It doesn’t hurt the fruit or change the flavor at all — just adds a little personality!

At Living Earth Farms, we love finding moments like this — reminders that farming isn’t about perfection, it’s about harmony. Every insect, breeze, and sunbeam plays a part in creating food that’s truly alive. 🌻

🐔 Another Chicken Story: “Where in the Heck Are the Eggs?” 🌶️🥚

Farmer Jon thought he’d seen it all — until today.
While checking the processing shed, he lifted a box of drying peppers and… surprise! There sat one of the hens, looking mighty proud of herself like she’d just discovered a new Airbnb.

Apparently, the nesting boxes weren’t up to her standards this week. Nope. She decided a box of peppers was the perfect place for peace, privacy, and a little spice in her life.

So why do chickens love to go up high or find oddball nesting spots?
• Instinct: In the wild, hens seek out hidden, elevated places to lay their eggs safely away from predators.
• Privacy matters: Chickens like a quiet, cozy place where they won’t be disturbed. (Can’t blame her — peppers probably smell better than the coop!)
• Hierarchy: The “top hen” often claims the best spot, and sometimes that’s literally the highest one she can find.

So, if you’re missing eggs — check the rafters, feed bins, and apparently… your pepper boxes.

Because on this farm, the chickens don’t follow the rules — they write their own. 🐓🔥.

🌱 A Magical Evening at Living Earth Farms 🌿

We recently had the honor of hosting an event through the TOPP (Transition to Organic Partnership Program) — and what a beautiful gathering it was.

There’s something truly magical about coming together on the farm to share a meal grown from the soil beneath our feet, surrounded by people who care deeply about the future of farming. Hearing from passionate growers, educators, and advocates about the benefits of organic and regenerative practices reminded us why we do what we do every day.

Organic farming isn’t just about avoiding chemicals — it’s about building life in the soil, nourishing communities, and protecting the land for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who came out, shared their stories, and added their voice to the growing movement for a more resilient and connected food system. 🌾💚

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN HARVEST: THE CLUCKENING AT OUR FARM 👻🎃

While others are carving pumpkins and dodging ghosts, we’ve been busy with something a little spookier… chicken processing day! 🐔💀

But fear not — there’s nothing scary about pasture-raised poultry. Our birds spent their days soaking up sunshine, scratching for bugs, and foraging on green pasture — living a life no factory-farmed bird could dream of.

Here’s why our “pasture spirits” make for heavenly flavor:
✨ Healthy fat balance – more omega-3s and vitamins from their natural diet.
🌿 Cleaner meat – no confinement, no antibiotics, just fresh air and real food.
🌎 Better for the land – their manure nourishes the soil, not pollutes it.
❤️ Better for you and your community – raised and processed locally, keeping food security right here where it belongs.

So while the world fills up on candy and mystery ingredients tonight…
🧄 sink your teeth into something truly wholesome — local, ethical, and hauntingly delicious.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Living Earth Farms — where even the chickens are dying to be pasture-raised. 😉🐔🎃🎃

Why choose local, free-range eggs?
🌿 Better Nutrition – Studies show that free-range eggs often have higher levels of omega-3s, vitamin D, and antioxidants compared to conventional eggs.
🌞 Happier Hens – Our chickens spend their days scratching, pecking, and sunbathing on open pasture — just being chickens!
🚜 Local Freshness – Our eggs go from nest to farm store in days, not weeks, keeping flavor and nutrition at their peak.
💚 Stronger Community – Every carton you buy supports small-scale, regenerative agriculture right here at home.
