** Baby goat photo for attention ** Fresh milk daily!! We are looking for a new home for our herd of adult **pedigreed** mini Nubians. Must go together (they are social animals). There are 2 pregnant does and one intact male. These are GREAT for a small homestead or 4H project (scrapies registered) !! They are milk stand trained and put out roughly a half gallon each. BABIES EXPECTED IN APRIL. PM for details.

I hope this message finds all of you well. After some discussion amongst family and friends I am informing all of you that Maya Farm will be closing its doors to the public, effective immediately. I will no longer be selling honey or any other goods for the the foreseeable future.

This decision has not been made lightly, and I understand that it may come as a shock/disappointment to many of you who have supported me over the years.

At this time I am deeply uncertain about the direction Maya Farm will take in the upcoming year. Personally I have hit a deep pool of burnout that I have not recovered from. Rather than further damage my customer base, I have decided to take a step back.

As a result, our farm stand will be locked and closed until further notice. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, my valued customers and visitors. I appreciate your understanding during this challenging time.

I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support, and I will keep you updated when I can on any developments regarding our farm in the future. For now I am also temporarily suspending all of my social media and email exchanges until I can figure everything all out.

Thank you for being a part of my Maya Farm community.

After a difficult decision we have decided to forgo any remaining market days at any local farmers markets. While I am currently sick with a cold this weekend, I will be working soon on filling the farm stand with plenty of honey for anyone who needs to stock up for the off season. I know this is an inconvenience for many of my customers and I deeply apologize. For those of you who have not ever visited the farm stand I will do a video walkthrough to make things a bit easier in the coming days. Thank you for understanding 💜

UNPOPULAR OPINION COMING UP: Every year I post this as a talking point. In the PNW tomatoes can be difficult for alot of people. The stress that comes with this time of year is palpable in every backyard garden. Beginning gardeners LOVE to assume that heirloom is somehow better tasting and better to plant. In my humble opinion I think gardeners should plant variety and try new things. I find hybrids have incredible VIGOR and fruit set. I have a few heirlooms I plant every year but traditionally they have a much longer growing times, are susceptible to disease, and have a lower fruit set.

In my humble opinion I think more gardeners should be working towards an open pollinated tomato :gasp:

The product of archaic breeding strategies, heirloom tomatoes are hardly diverse and are no more "natural" than grocery-store varieties. New studies promise to restore their lost, healthy genes

I'm going to geek for a few minutes. One of the joys of farming is testing a new crop. May I present to you "sweet Lupini". These are a distant cousin to the Lupines that you all plant as a perennial flower. THESE may soon be a perennial legume any gardener can grow. THESE taste friggin delicious. And lastly - THESE I don't have to rinse 1000k times to make them palatable like many Portuguese and Italian varieties. I am so excited to grow them again next year. They're delicious and nutritious and hold up well to loooong cook times. Shout-out to .seeds in Bellingham for releasing these earlier than they intended so I could get my grubby lil farm hands on them.

A quick post so you know I'm not dead! 😂 ☠️

Farm duties will resume next week! 🗓️

Camp has started amazing. 🌈 These kids always make me feel on top of the world. As the Creative director for the Children's Burn Camp I get to watch these kids learn to express and challenge themselves. See you all soon!

If you've ever felt underestimated and ignored, spare a thought for your local moths. Honeybees, bumblebees and butterflies are almost synonymous with pollination. People love them for their intimate relationship with flowers—we can't grow a lot of our food or enjoy the sight of fragile springtime...

Every year I give a shout out to the Island County Faire! I've entered every year for...maybe 5 years? I absolutely LOVE IT. I love how many opportunities, education, and fun can be had there. Did you know anyone can enter the judged items and you can win small cash prizes for entering items?? And then there's the bragging rights...

😁😁 Here's hoping I win a blue ribbon in honey for the 4th year!

Nerd alert. I have spent the last 3 years tryna develop a landrace radish variety that is slow to bolt with our BS Whidbey springs that occasionally have 70+ degree heat spells. This is my pride and joy. This monstrosity is the size of my FIST and still hasn't bolted (gone to seed) Do we want them this big ::NO:: but we WANT them to continue to grow in size as the spring progresses despite stressors. This particular variety is also slow to get pithy. I'm so excited and I'm hoping to offer this variety to the public in the future. I have a few other landrace varieties that I've been working on as well. 😋

Today's question - how big should my pepper plant be before allowing it to set fruit?

In general, chile plants are about 12 inches tall when they're ready to support growing peppers. (Plants may be shorter if you're growing a compact pepper variety like the Black Pearl pepper.

This one's for you

How ELSE do you think you get a healthy crop of cardboard? Obviously you gotta water it regularly. I think this patch is coming along quite nicely. Can't wait for my fall box harvest! This particular variety prefers partial shade.
