We have a fantastic farm team this summer! Workdays can be long on the farm this time of year, but coming to work each morning to these lovely people (plus a couple who managed to avoid the camera!) makes it a pleasure. 📸 @uglycarrotfood

On the way home from the leased field. This season is stretching us all - we’ve never experienced drought and fire risk this intense. Many of our crops are growing slowly or less productively in these conditions. We are thankful for our fantastic team and for our community, and for the water that’s keeping us growing.

For sure the last 18 months had been super stressful. This summer has brought its own challenges. We’ve had no measurable rain for…ages, the reservoirs are dropping and the for the house well is starting to work harder. But we’re sticking to the plan and will just wait and see what comes next month. Meanwhile, doing evening irrigation rounds in this place, it’s hard not to love this job. STOP PRESS!! Need just in. The owners of the parcel we lease have agreed to invest in some very large earthworks this fall to improve the existing irrigation reservoir capacity. They’re committing to this land being a viable farm for decades to come. Thank you, so much!

NIC Sustainable Agriculture program practicum for today involved a bunch of greenhouse time staking plants. Also a greens washing demo and bed flipping. Thanks to our fantastic group of students for a solid day out.

An evening pause. I love our back deck at sunset. Colours, birdsong from the forest, reflections on the pond, a farm tucked in for the night. Harvest day tomorrow.

An almost-ladybug! The parsley was full of these guys last harvest. Ladybugs love the parsley and help keep the aphids in check so we carefully picked around these pupae.
