This morning we delivered a fresh batch of wildflower bouquet’s to @happcoffee - the place was already bustling with folks enjoying Labor Day and grabbing coffee & conversations with friends. I know it’s become one of our favorite places for meeting up with our community too. ❤️ Now you can find our farm fresh cut flowers there at the beginning of the week while the flower season lasts! Happy Labor Day friends! Thankful for each one of you! #smallfamilyfarm #cutflowers #happcoffee #smallbusiness #blueridgemountains #trailtown #permaculturegarden

Harvest season continues with elderberries! The bushes are absolutely loaded and we’re slowly drying them with the dehydrator. My favorite use of elderberries is turning them into elderberry syrup for the winter months. And as the sunflowers slowly fade away from the summer, It’s the perfect time to drive them out for sunflower seeds! Curious how many we might get. #harvest #elderberry #permaculturegarden

Today’s sweet reward! Honey from our own honey bees. What a learning journey it has been as I’m learning the fine art of beekeeping. So exciting to have harvested almost 10 gallons of honey on our first harvest! #honey #beekeeperslife #beerstagram #permaculture #honeybees
A batch of sauerkraut, coleslaw, and pickles is sitting in our living room for the next week. Once it’s had time to ferment for about a week, then we will hot water bath it before storing it in the pantry. Am I the only one who loves the look

Tis the season for preserving! As the garden continues to produce a bounty of veggies, some things are heading into the freezer and others into canning jars for the season. The sweet corn we actually did not grow here at the farm this year, but got a large batch from an Amish family up in Pennsylvania to put up in the freezer. Of course we saved some out for fresh eating. 😋 There’s nothing that says summer then fresh corn on the cob. Brian also put up a batch of sauerkraut, as it’s one of his favorites. I can’t say that preserving is one of my favorite activities of the season, but it sure is a whole lot more fun with a community of folks. This upcoming week I’m starting to dry elderberries for syrup and we continue to collect tomatoes into the freezer for an upcoming weekend of canning tomato sauce. What’s coming out of your garden? #canning #perserving #permaculturegarden #summertime
Sunday by the pond and the chickens came over to say hello. Evie is working on her herding abilities at only 12 weeks old. 😂😂 #slowsunday #farmlife #chickens #aussiesofinstagram
Thankful for the bounty of the gardens this season - from drying onions for the winter, to making summer salads to enjoy. Right now the tomatoes are starting to come in - we’re eating a few but most of them will go into the freezer until we hav

Zinnias!! I think they are fast becoming one of my favorite garden flowers - easy to grow, awesome as cut flowers and beautiful in the garden alongside all the veggies. Ahhh! Summertime!

This past week Brian tried his hand at canning up black currant juice. He basically followed Wengers grape juice recipe- so we’ll see how this goes. So, why black currant juice? Well, Brian loves ultra running and for recovery he frequently drinks tart cherry juice which has natural antioxidants that help with muscle recovery - and guess what? So do black currants - thus trying black currant juice. And since we have such an abundance of black currants why not give it a try! #blackcurrants #antioxidant #permaculturegarden
Can I just tell you how very excited I am for elderberries! No, seriously. Out of all the Perrenial plants on our farm, this is one of my top favorites. The last 10 years I have made Elderberry syrup for our family during cold and flu season and sour
Can I just tell you how very excited I am for elderberries! No, seriously. Out of all the Perrenial plants on our farm, this is one of my top favorites. The last 10 years I have made Elderberry syrup for our family during cold and flu season and sourced berries from Mountain Rose Herbs - which were always outstanding - but having my very own berries to harvest? Oh.My.Goodness! I think I’m just as excited about this as I am about harvesting honey!
The black currant bushes are loaded and ready for harvest! Today we spent time picking currant berries and then running a test batch to taste. Yumm!! The kitchen smelled so delicious all evening.
