The beauty of vegetables makes the difficulty of farming worth it. Yesterday our fingers were freezing as we harvested and washed, but we warmed up with an afternoon pot of chai and chocolate chip cookies. Because cookies are always the perfect balancer to organic veggies. — What are your favorite kind of cookies? Mine are chocolate chip all the way. Though if I'm being virtuous, I'd say homemade pumpkin whoopie pies. Because they have pumpkins in them, which makes them healthy 😂

This past week we celebrated National Farmer Day and International Day of the Girl. 👩‍🌾You already know the value of growing and eating good food. But did you know how important it is for women to have access to land rights? Wait, what? What does that even mean? — Click over to The Good Heart Life blog {link in profile} and read: "When Women Grow, the Whole World Eats" to learn more about all the good that happens when women have rights to land, because in many parts of the world, they don’t. — Growing a good heart life isn’t just about tending to our own plot of land. It’s about connecting with others, tending to the relationships all around us, supporting and being supported by people near and far. — I’m here cheering you on, sending you sunshine when you need it, rain when it’s too dry, and compost for every time you need a boost of growth. — Thank you for being here, too. What you’re growing matters. Keep digging, keep planting🌱 and if you want more connection, more support as you grow, and more joy, sign up for The Good Heart Life newsletter {link in profile}

The flowers may be gone, but the collards are looking strong 🌱💪🌱 I didn't know until I popped on instagram tonight that it's National Farmer Day (thanks @footprintfarm for your post informing me!). I never thought I'd become a farmer, but I took one summer job after college to learn how to raise meat and grow vegetables, and the soil took hold of my life. Farming may not be glamorous, and at times it's frustrating and exhausting, but it is endlessly grounding. Pun totally intended. — Thanks for sharing this space with us, for taking your time to follow farmers and support us in our work, be it with a like from a far or by buying local food directly from small farms. It all matters. — I'm grateful for Edge, my farming partner and husband, and for all the small farmers working to grow a more sustainable, healthy world. Here are a few of them that inspire me daily: @footprintfarm @longestacresfarm @ardeliafarm @andreabeamis @sugarhousecreamery @soulfirefarm @fruition_seeds And many more! 🌱🌱🌱 Who's your farmer? Who inspires you to grow and eat local?

Today Edge told me it was finally time to pull the flowers and plant a cover crop. I begrudgingly said "okay" because he's the field manager. BUT I'm the photographer/marketer/customer-communicator, so *he* said yes when I asked him to take some photos of me and the flowers before they went away. — And for the record, he wasn't begrudging at all about this...this is what farming as a couple looks like: divvying up the roles, and respecting and trusting each other to make the best decisions. It takes time, but it's the most important thing we cultivate as partners in farming and life. — It's hard for me to say goodbye to the zinnias, but it's mid-October, and despite today's summer-like weather, frost will inevitably set in soon. SO, two buckets of flowers later, I pulled out the loppers and cut them down. Swipe to see the before and after photos! And now for a winter of dreaming about the next flower season... — What will you be dreaming of this winter?

I didn't mean to become a farmer—I just wanted to get closer to my food, so I took a summer job at a small diversified farm...and I never stopped growing🌱 Next year will mark my 10th year farming, and my 7th year owning a farm. — As much as I love growing food, I love writing and sharing it all with you even more. Want to learn more about how to grow organic food, and grow a life that brings you more joy and a deeper connection to the land and your food? Click over to The Good Heart Life {link in profile} and sign up for my weekly newsletter. — When you sign up, you'll get a weekly note from me with resources and inspiration to grow an organic life you love, plus a copy of my ebook, 7 Simple Ways to Grow a Life You Love. Let's grow together 🌱 Let me know: what's one thing you want to learn about organic growing?

If I could only grow one root crop, carrots would be it. They're the first crop I remember harvesting as a kid, filled with wonder at what I just pulled from the ground. — Now we're in bulk harvest mode, and Edge came up with a nifty in-field wash station that is rocking our socks off (literally--Edge rarely wears shoes, let alone socks). It's saving so much time and getting our carrots to the walk-in cooler so much faster. If you're like us and don't have a barrel washer, check out my stories to see the set up in action. — Side note: carrots are also the crop Waylon picks the most 🥕and I love seeing him strolling around the fields eating a dirty carrot ☺️❤️
