Cool Morning Routine in My Rig
I’ve established quite the rhythm this winter😌. Waking up in the back of Hurston (my converted ambulance) with everything I need within reach is a joy. Cool mornings have been warmed by hot tea made of leaves from our plants & always slow time on my mat before a full day of exertion on the

Beans Galore
I am CONSTANTLY thinking about building soil. It’s a legitimate obsession at this point😝. Nutrient dense, high quality food comes from high quality soil. Since native Florida soil is far from high quality, improving it requires intentionality. With that in mind, I’ve spent the last few months intensively planting all manner of beans. Each week

Knee Saving Build
I am mistaken for a 20-year-old often, but me & my 44-year-old joints know the truth😂 With that said, having a couple of solid tables to work on at the farm is long overdue. I had this in mind when I scored 2 metal table frames in the trash pile behind a retail store in

Cover Cropping Success
The seedlings quickly popping up all over the farm- despite the cold weather- proves to me that my decision to allow wild clover to cover the growing spaces throughout the Summer rather than succumb to the rigor of U.S. “mow culture” was the right one. The lot may have looked “untidy” last Summer to the

Indiantown Community Cleanup
I typically spend the weekend recovering from a physically taxing week of work on the farm, but I made an exception to attend last Saturday’s Indiantown Community Cleanup organized by Itown MyTown. Despite the frigid cold, there was a decent turnout of folks volunteering their time to beautify Indiantown. Hours of labor later, Indiantown was

One Becomes Many
I’m perpetually propagating plants. It’s a habit. In order to keep up with my plants’ needs & feed them in the self-sustaining way I desire, I am constantly cloning Mexican sunflower (a.k.a. vegan manure). This becomes necessary when you’ve planted as many fruit trees as I have in the last 3 months😮💨 I want barrels

The Return of Life
It may not look like much to most people, but discovering this lady bug on a loquat branch at the farm recently was just the boost I needed. For more than a year, I have been consistently doing good work- quiet, thankless work- to turn a lawn into a farm. Seeing this lady bug (&
