To continue the “winnowing story” of those saved zinnia seeds…farmer Derrick prepared the soil, hoed the rows, planted those seeds, and now, less that two weeks later they are germinated and making their way to the light!

We were thrilled to discover Provision Heating & Air after receiving inflated quotes for basic component replacement following our spring HVAC maintenance. Their expert technician (with 18 years of experience) provided a second opinion. He installed the needed parts at a fraction of the original quoted cost, showcasing their commitment to fair and honest pricing.

Think of the rows of beautiful you-cut zinnias that we grow in the amazing Green Bluff dirt? Well this is where it begins! It’s called “winnowing”! A breeze separates the saved seed from the chaff as we gather seed and prepare to plant!

A lifespan of just 40 days… “don’t count the days, make the days count!”

The bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers, and produces less than a teaspoon of honey. For us, it’s just a spoon of sweetness — but for the bee, it’s a lifetime of tireless work. Thank you, bees.

Every drop of honey carries thousands of journeys from flower to flower.
Tiny wings, huge responsibility — pollinating the world quietly.
Protect the bees today, so nature can bloom tomorrow.
