Ecosystem Farm

The tractor is on strike until I can find the safety switch or solenoid keeping it from turning on. It was too gorgeous a day for the w**d whacker, so I pulled out the scythe. Definitely have some work to do on my form, but the customer areas are cut back and I am quite unexpectedly sore!

The community milpa comes into existence, one 64 ft section of rabbit browse at a time! The mix I'm planting here is from , and as it develops I'll be opening it for pay what you can harvesting and volunteer harvest days where the food collected goes over to for distribution through their community fridge. I'm also adding some summer veggies to open holes in the landscape fabric of the strawberry field, just to increase the diversity in the soil over there and to make some additional food available for the community.

Milky oats! So much love to for first introducing me to these years ago, and to .roots.herbs for re-introducing me and keeping me supplied over the past year. I'm excited to harvest and make my own tincture for 2026.
