There is a flow to life. Each season brings the foods our bodies need to thrive. When we ditch the grocery store’s idea of all things, all the time, we find rhythm, flow and purpose. Life begins feeling connected to the seasons, earth, and source.

Here on the farm we’re harvesting walnut, pomegranates, persimmons and meat. Green veggies are growing in the garden. And as always, raw milk is plentiful.

With autumn in full swing, we’re wrapping up the bulk of our growing season here on the farm.
The pomegranates are ready for harvest — a few will be eaten fresh, the rest juiced for jelly, and some tucked away in the freezer for teas, smoothies, and dressings later on.

From here, things begin to wind down. Most of the animals we raise for meat will be harvested before the rainy season sets in. We’ll tend to our simple winter garden and enjoy fresh citrus through the colder months. And of course, the one chore that never takes a break — milking the cows.

We look forward to the slower season ahead — soups and stews on the stovetop, sourdough in the oven, and the cozy rhythm of winter days on the homestead.

Welcome to The Farm Cart
Nestled in Vacaville, CA, our family-run micro farm began in 2020 with a simple dream: to grow and raise wholesome food for ourselves—and share the abundance with our community.

What started with free-range, organically fed chicken eggs has blossomed into The Farm Cart: a local stop for fresh, seasonal goods sourced from our homestead and trusted nearby farms.

But The Farm Cart is more than just food—it’s about family and community. You’ll also find freeze-dried treats crafted by our teenage son. Every purchase of his sweets supports his entrepreneurial spirit, his love for golf, and his journey to contribute meaningfully to the world around him.

So, come take a stroll to The Farm Cart. Discover the taste of seasonal abundance, support local economy, and experience what it means when community and good food come together.

It’s huckleberry season 🫐

A Wild Treasure

If you’ve ever stumbled across huckleberries in the mountains, you know they’re tiny gems worth the hunt. But did you know you can also grow them in the garden?

🌱 Plant Growth
Huckleberries grow on small shrubs, often in forests at higher elevations. The plants are slow-growing and can take several years before producing berries. The variety we grow produce year one. They have been a great addition to the homestead.

🫐 When They Ripen
Depending on the region, huckleberries ripen mid-to-late summer—usually July through September. They’re ready when they turn a deep blue-purple and easily come off the stem.

💪 Why They’re Good for You
Huckleberries aren’t just delicious—they’re nutrient powerhouses!
•Rich in antioxidants (great for immune health & aging support)
•High in vitamin C
•Naturally anti-inflammatory
•Support heart & brain health

Peak garden season means full baskets, fresh dinners, and zero grocery store runs.

We get flavor you can’t buy, nutrition at its best, and the peace of knowing exactly how it was grown. The garden creates deeper connection to the seasons, the soil, and the meals we share.

Gardening is more than a flavorful tomato for us. It’s the teachable skill set, the bigger picture. Our kids see firsthand where food comes from and how to grow it—and that’s a lesson no textbook can teach.

Peak season might be fleeting, but the rewards carry on in our pantry and the skills carry forward for years to come.

As the kitchen garden comes to life here in Zone 9a, I’m reminding myself to pause and soak it all in. 🌿

After years of backyard gardening, everything changed when we moved to the countryside.

The pests are different.
The soil is different.
Even the sun hits different.

It’s been a humbling learning curve—but this season feels like our best yet. Five years of trial, error, and adapting are finally bearing fruit (literally and figuratively).

If you’re just starting out and wondering if it’s worth it—when the costs feel heavier than the harvest—just know: your future self will be so glad you didn’t give up. Give it a few seasons. 🤎🌱

It’s not about saving money.
Truth is, in most cases—especially here in CA—growing your own food doesn’t save you money.

So why do we do it? Why do we share it with this community?

Health.

We’re on a journey to raise the healthiest kids we can in the world we live in.
A journey to live vibrantly and fully in our own bodies.
A journey to connect deeply with the animals we raise to nourish our family.
A journey to know every amendment, every seed, every inch of the soil our food grows in.

We call it a journey back to the land.

It was a radical shift from the life we used to live—and it changed everything. It healed our bodies, our family, and our home.

And now? I share it with you in hopes it stirs something.
Maybe it nudges you to support your local farmer.
Maybe it gives you the courage to start your own little homestead.
Either way, I hope it inspires you to reconnect with the basics that truly sustain life. 🤎
