Hi! Crystal here,
Mother’s Day is Sunday! We’ve got something special planned. Both my mother and grandmother are complete legends in my family and are without contest the most gracious examples of love that I’ve experienced in my life. I am full of gratitude for them.
I try to do something every Mother’s Day to honor my mom, the role that she played (and continues to play even in her absence - as I think of her now through my own lens of motherhood). Not only does she deserve this type of tribute, but it’s honestly the only way I can show up as my authentic self on this day.
I mentioned to you all in our stories that we’d be holding space for those of you who experience the grieving part of this holiday.
So here’s the space… dedicated to the ones who assumed that role for you (does not have to be your birth mom).
Motherhood defies blood relations.
The concept for this community collaboration is simple. This banner will be attached to a wall at our booth this Sunday. Grab a sticky note and share a favorite memory, a meal you loved that only they could knock out of the park, an impression, a song, a thank you, an acknowledgment of the wisdom passed down to you from generations. Whatever it is that helps you to remember and honor your loved one, write it down and add it to our tribute wall. This is to show love. All are welcome to participate. If your mother is still with you, please join us in honoring her. Pictures absolutely welcomed and encouraged.
It’ll be a beautiful time. I hope you all will join us. Mother’s Day Boutique is this Saturday at Idlewild Park from 9-2pm. 💙
*The background music (which I do not own rights to and will probably be deleted by the powers that be) is “Protector” by Queen B, of course. 😁

First massive family road trip in the books. The journey through Wyoming and Montana was slow and majestic, much like this.
We got back early this a.m. and will be at Riverside market tomorrow with a fun (albeit slightly smaller) array of goods. Come early & beat the rain. ✌🏾✨✌🏼 🦬
Nina has moved on from snow peas to shelling peas.🫛 #kidsinthegarden#peas#crunchysnacks
Did you know that the longer processed wheat (bleached and non-bleached) sits on a store shelf, the further its nutritional value is diminished?
This means, that the majority of commercial flour sold to you, has zero nutritional value.
Starting this week, we will be milling fresh grain and turning the resulting flours into a fermented dough that will make our sourdough bread.
WHY SOURDOUGH?
• Because a fermented dough is easiest on the gut. The process of sourdough fermentation produces a lactic acid that reduces gluten in the final product and has the ability to aid in digestion.
WHY FRESHLY GROUND WHEAT?
• Because our family loves bread and we want to provide them with the most nutritious stuff possible.
Like all of the big changes we make for our family, this one has come with lots of research.
✨Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing more of our sourdough process with you!✨

Sriracha salt out, Sherocksya Seasoning in! If the Rooster company doesn’t come for us, we’ll be bringing this delicious new seasoning to you as early as this weekend.

We hope you all are enjoying Fall as much as this little one is! 🍂 💛🍁 🍂🤗🍁
We are currently collecting leaves to use as the carbon source for our compost piles.
Oh my gosh, obviously videoing is not my strong suit. I apologize for the dizzying nature of this one. BUT, I am very excited about this. Here’s a glimpse into our food forest. We will have melons at the Fernley Poolside Farmers Market this Saturday (if the melon I’m growing doesn’t decide to make her appearance) 🍈🍉🍈🍉🍈. If you’d like to beat everyone to them, we will have an option on our square site to add them to your produce boxes this week.

Harvesting peas today for our medium and large produce boxes. Get your orders in ✌🏾
If there’s a veggie toxicity level, this dog is pushing it. Radish literally leaps over our garden fence like some sort of show dog. Every time I find her she’s eating something 🤦🏾♀️. #help #radishthefarmdog #lovesradishes #eatingallthethings
Still a fail on the mealworms, buuuuut.... oats are a win!!!! Our babies are now teens and exploring new dietary options ☀️ 🐣 🐥 🐓 ☀️
