Growings On 9/15

Posted on September 15th, 2020
My apologies for getting this out late - yesterday was intense. Some of you know that our landlords at the old farm filed to evict us in June, despite knowing that our strawberry plants can't be moved until late October. Thanks to covid, our magistrate court status hearing was delayed until yesterd1 read more »

On Monday at 3pm I have a virtual court hearing regarding Berea's attempt to evict my farm from 1088 Bouldercrest.  I'm hopeful that the judge will tell them to honor their word, or at least send us to the mediation session they agreed to attend two weeks before they filed for eviction. I'm al1 read more »

In the midst of getting crops in the ground in Austell and getting the strawberry space prepped, I'm also trying to poke some longer term potential growing spaces. Because Austell isn't really enough growing space, maybe 12,000 row feet, and I'd much prefer not to be driving a half hour out there t1 read more »

We have our first fall crops in the ground!! 10 rows of hakurai turnips, radishes, arugula and broccoli raab. It's only a month behind when I was hoping to get fall crops going, but it's something and we'll have our first harvests in 45-60 days. :)  This is a trial space for us, out in Austell1 read more »

Chris started clearing the new strawberry space, and he uncovered a driveway! It needs a few loads of gravel, but I'm thrilled that there's something to work off of instead of my needing to find the budget for putting in a driveway from scratch. I went down yesterday and we were able to bushwhack b1 read more »

I think things are finally moving! We got the ok to go ahead and start clearing the kudzu in the new strawberry space, and Chris is going to take a first pass out there this week. And I think I found a veggie space out in Austell - we're still working out details, but it's a fenced half acre attach1 read more »

I think things are finally moving! We got the OK to start working on the new strawberry field at the end of the week, and Chris is planning to start clearing the kudzu on Monday. And I think I have a space to put vegetables in the ground! It's out in Austell, but it's available and I can get starte1 read more »

Another week of waiting... Waiting for a check to arrive, waiting for people to call back, waiting for conversations to happen. I just want to DO SOMETHING!  read more »

 I've spent several days out of the past week farming numbers. Most people think farming is an outdoor, field based living - and don't get me wrong, I'm lucky to spend a LOT of my time outside, cultivating food. But this is also where I get the majority of my income, which means I have to trea1 read more »
