Why local honey? In addition to it helps you calm your allergies, soothe your throat, it tastes great, you help support your local farm who is providing the ecosystem for the local pollinators. We are all in this together.. BTW, the Epstein files matter a lot! #farmlife #familyfarm #honey

How to work with mud season? We can’t avoid it so we have to figure it out. Plan ahead by planting in the fall and using perennials. Thank you for supporting small businesses; your choices matter. BTW, Epstein files matter! #farmlife #gardening #familyfarm

How are we going to find out if something will work or not? We call it an experiment instead of a mistake. In the meantime, please take care of all of your community as well as yourself. We are in this together. #farmlife #garden #familyfarm

Caring for our whole ecosystem is essential to being a good farmer/human being. Winter and spring habitats are both crucial. Btw, Epstein files. #farmlife #garden #familyfarm

Spring planting? Yes it is time, both inside and out. If it is too muddy outside, then we have other spots that we can plant. Thank you for supporting small businesses; your choices matter. Believe the survivors, prosecute the predators. #farmlife #spring #garden #familyfarm

We have found fennel to be excellent at repelling pests and it does not have any negative effect on the growth of other plants that we can see or measure.

Practice brings improvement It took me a few years as a new farmer to grasp a fundamental truth: planting once is not enough.

When you harvest Herbs, channel your inner French revolution! Yes, cut hard, and the Herbs regrow. Thank you for supporting small business businesses; your choices matter. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #familyfarm #garden

Crystallized honey is not spoiled and you can use it just as is. Some people prefer it because then it is not dripping from the spoon. If you like honey in its liquid form, then just keep it at 60Β° F or warmer. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #honey #familyfarm #delaware

Anxious to start tomatoes? Timing is everything. Plan for the summer while we pay attention now. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. Hmmm, applies to 🧊 as well as Epstein. #farmlife #familyfarm #garden

Succession planting is a hard won skill. It sounds easy, but it takes planning and scheduling to make sure that you start seeds at the right time. Practice brings improvement. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #familyfarm #winter

Photo of Snow covered parking lot and trees outlined in snow. Caption reads snow day for the farm market, closed Monday, February 23. Stay safe, stay warm another possible snowstorm on Wednesday. If you are picking up a CSA at the market, you can pick up on Tuesday or Wednesday. Clearly, I am not in charge of the weather.

Snow day for the Farm market, Monday, February 23. Closed for cleaning out! Back Tuesday.

If you are supposed to pick up a CSA share on Tuesday, it’s OK to come on Wednesday or Thursday. Another possible storm on Wednesday… Clearly, I am not in charge of the weather.

Our farm market is not just a place where you can buy what we are growing, but also a place where you can meet your neighbors. Building community however we can! No ice, no ICE. #farmlife #familyfarm

Democracy, like a farm, is a living system "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst." Angela Carter wrote it in Wise Children, and Maya Angelou, Lee Child, Denis Waitley, and Rob Thurman all echoed it in their own way.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Isn’t it great that we made it to February 14, even though it feels like it’s been 936 days this year? Take care of yourself as we weighed through the muck of the Epstein files. We keep growing for our community. #farmlife #community #familyfarm
