We are honored to be a tiny part of what this West Side community has created. Jenny Beasley inspires me every time I visit her community garden.

We feed our hens BSFL that we raise here on our farm. They love them and, in exchange, give us delicious, deep orange full flavored eggs.

Want to try some?

On November 22nd, we have an event where you can come and harvest eggs from our coop, take a tour of our farm, and then bring your eggs to our food truck where the great folks from BBQ will turn them into spectacular breakfast burritos.

If you wandered outside this morning and though: what an amazing day - I want a garden! Go back inside and see if the feeling passes.....just kidding.....this is actually the perfect time in the Valley to start a garden.

Gardens are way easier with a little training and advice. We put together this really cool two class series with Angela from Growing in the Garden that will arm you with what you need to know to get started (class one this coming Saturday) and then advice on what is actually happening in your garden (class two on December 6th).

Angela will begin with the basics - we will send you home with some starts - then you come back with pictures and your stories of what is happening in your gardens. You will learn with a group of beginners to have success.

Or, if you just want a quick intro class, we have that available later this month: https://www.facebook.com/events/1022796419978464

The time to plant Daffodil Bulbs in the Phoenix area is now!

The first step in any daffodil bulb planting is to choose the right site for your daffodil bulbs. Daffodils prefer sunlight, but are also very versatile, and as such, can typically tolerate a good bit of shade as well. When planting daffodil bulbs, choose a spot with rich and well drained soil.

Once you picked your spot, plant your daffodil bulbs about 4 or 5 inches apart and about 6 inches deep. Do not crowd the bulbs too close together as this may slow down future growth. After the daffodil bulbs are planted, we recommend supplementing the existing soil with a couple of inches of our compost to stimulate propagation. And, of course, add worms or worm castings!

Once your daffodil bulbs have been planted, you should water the site regularly, being careful not to over-water.

We love the bulbs from https://www.edenbrothers.com/

Or come to our bulb class - the class includes hands on instruction and more than a dozen bulbs. Details are here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1223529129802871

This is a video from last April. Want this for lunch? We have starts for you now.

One warning - these plants grow quite large and come back year after year. Plant it someplace with at least three feet by three feet of space you can give up for years. The benefit: each year our artichoke plants come back with more, bigger fruit.

People ask me a lot, "Can you really taste the difference between store bought eggs and our pasture raised chicken eggs?"

I absolutely can. The yolk has a creamier flavor, deeper richer color and texture and the egg white is less runny.

Want to try for yourself? We have an opportunity for you on November 22nd. We are hosting our annual farm to table breakfast where you get to harvest eggs from our coop and take them to our food truck where Batchelor Pad BBQ will make them into a delicious smoked brisket breakfast burrito.

One shameless plug for this event: if you have ever been to a "farm to table" restaurant, what they generally mean is the food you are eating was grown on a farm......somewhere. For this event, you will be on the farm where the eggs are hatched - many that day. True farm to table!

A good population of worms in your soil is like having a tiny army of wriggling rototillers beneath your feet. And, where a gas powered rototiller is hard work - and kills microbes and breaks fungal hyphae chains in your garden. Worms add microbial life to your soil.

Both will loosen your soil - but one is harm-full, the other is worm-der-full! (sorry for the pun, could not help myself)

We have lots and lots of worms available for sale at the farm.

Completely unsolicited and unpaid recommendation. We have had problems with our hens eating their own eggs. We tried all the general advice: give them more calcium, put wooden eggs in the nesting boxes, collect eggs more often. None really worked.

We put in these HenGear boxes. The hens lay and the eggs roll into a protected collector. Clean and safe. I’m a fan!
