This week Dawn received a lovely gift from Bree of

"The soap is made with bear tallow from the farm, lye & lavender essential oil with our dried lavender on top. The spray is lavender infused water, witch hazel & lavender essential oil & it makes a great pillow spray to help promote peace & relaxation before bed."

Today's fit is inspired by cold, grumpy, dusty style work.

Getting ready for the (several months out) annual Tomato PreSale!! You know the one, where Jon grows tomatoes for YOU in our green house and delivers them to your doorstep, ready to be put in the soil.... So, what tomatoes would YOU like offered up this year??

We were asked for the recipe for the crunchy daikon radish spears:
Pardon the inexact science of it 🤣🤣
Water
White vinegar
Salt
Sugar
Dill fronds(flowers)
Black Pepper
Coriander
-Secret ingredient is Grape Leaves-the tannins help keep a crisp crunch!!

Give it a try!!

Cracked open our pickled daikon radish - pleasantly tangy, crunchy and refreshing! Yum.

When you're working remote and the green house camera keeps popping off - Jon's up to something! Prepping the path for a new walkway into our processing center.

What I didn't know - the day prior, he took down fencing and posts to allow the path to be created.

I need to get back there more often, apparently 🤣😉🤣

Happy New Year!! 🍾🥂🍾

While 2024 was not all sunshine and kittens (we've got 3 cats, now) - overall it was a good year. One with a LOT of learning, growing, self discovery and resetting priorities.

Here's to putting the lessons to work in 2025 💕💕

Calling all and CSA folks - order countdown is on!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Got a few last-minute gifts for folks that "have everything"
- we bet they don't have a Jon the Farmer baseball cap or shopping tote!

Got any gardening friends in your life (or perhaps looking to stock up for yourself)
- we have both our Potted & Patio and Large Garden bundles and individual seeds available. All organic and chosen for successful growth in our region and stored responsibly.

Perhaps a naturally sweet treat, like Rainy Day Bees honey, is more up their alley?

And don't forget, we have gift certificates that can be used throughout the year for our FreshList & CSA subscriptions, online products and even to use for our annual Tomato Starts sale!!

Head to our website and be sure to use code (*found in your inbox*) to get 10% off your purchase.

But be aware - you MUST order by Wednesday 12/18 to ensure you have delivery before Christmas & Hanukkah!!!

Hope we get to be a gift that keeps on giving this Holiday Season and beyond!!

Thanksgiving means many things to many people. Perhaps gratitude can be the one tradition we can all share.

We're just dropping in to say, to all those in the PNW that have been experiencing the rains & winds of this past week - and the resulting power outages, downed trees and damage to your homes - we hope you're on your way to recovery (if not already there). You're on our minds & hearts.

Here is a snuggling kitty to warm you up (dawn)
