Did you know that you can plant your poppy seeds in the fall? September through November is a great time to sprinkle your seeds on top of the soil where you’d like them to come up. Poppies are great because they need light to germinate, so you don’t need to bury them. They will start to emerge in early spring, and there are many varieties to choose from. If you plant your poppies in the spring, make sure you leave them in the fridge or freezer for a couple of weeks before planting. The cold will help them germinate.

Just fyi, I scattered poppy seeds today and can’t wait to see them in the spring 🌸

Not only do we cultivate flowers on the farm, but we also grow and sell raspberries. This year, we experienced a remarkable bumper crop, enabling me to freeze a substantial quantity for jam production this winter. Raspberry jam is one of my favorite gifts to present to family and friends during the holiday season. Its bright and refreshing flavor profile is essentially summer in a jar. Next season, look for our fresh raspberries in the farm stand. The jam also pairs well with locally crafted cards from .smith.art making for a thoughtful gift.

This holiday season, consider gifting a flower subscription to show your appreciation for that special person in your life. Every time they receive their beautiful bouquet during the summer, they will be reminded of your thoughtfulness. Not only will they enjoy the freshest locally grown blooms, but you will also be supporting a small local farm and contributing to your local economy.

At a gift exchange celebrating local or homemade products, I take pleasure in gifting my raspberry mint tea, grown and harvested on our farm. Raspberries are an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and mint has benefits for digestion and inflammation, making it a lovely gift that brings a hint of summer to the cold winter months.
