Imagine with us, a field of big and small multicolored sunflowers and east coast pollinator dream swales of flowering glory abound. Its all covered in snow now, but soon, SOON, friends we will see brilliant blooms and encouraging early season harbingers of warmer days to come!
This year, 2026, we will engage in a big push to plant up perennial patches and circles that ward our crop rows well.

Now that we’ve had a couple of good frosts, some fresh vegetables are EVEN BETTER! Many plants have a survival mechanism that triggers them to convert stored starches into natural sugars when the temperature dips below 32°. The natural sugars lower the freezing point of water within the plant’s cells, acting as a natural antifreeze. Why not taste for yourself? Here are some of the frost-sweetened veggies you’ll find at the farmers’ market this week:
Cabbage
Collards
Brussels sprouts
Kale
Spinach
Broccoli
Carrots
Parsnips
Beets
and more!

This is the best stuff.

Have you tried our natural laundry soap powder? Scented with pure essential oils (or unscented), our powder is awesome at cleaning and is quite popular for those that don't want perfume scents and dyes on their clothes. Even better, hang on the line for that extra fresh hint of the outdoors! Naturally low sudsing and great for HE washers. Our other scents are: lavender, cedar, sweet orange and key lime. And as always we only charge you what it costs us to ship (if you are in the northeast in particular your shipping cost will be adjusted at the time of shipping). www.humannatureofme.com

I Am Only a Farmer

I am only a farmer.
I know the sun better then anyone.
And the soil.
And the wind.
And the rain.
I am the one who works with them.
Who loves them.
And who sometimes fears them.

I am only a farmer.
I am the sower of seeds.
I am the tender of stock.
I am the reaper of harvest.
I am sweat. And tears. And pride.

I am only a Farmer.
I am the one who feeds the young.
And the old.
The weak. And the strong.
I am black earth of spring.
The green hills of Summer.
The harvest gold of autumn
And the cold white stillness of winter.

I am only a farmer.
I am warm memories of the past.
The steely reality of the present.
And the hopeful dream of the future.
I am an optimist. A thinker.
A watcher. And a doer.

I am only a farmer.
I live in a complex world.
Made of simple things.
They are my source of joy.
And hope. And comfort.
I have walked the morning fogs.
I have paused for the Summer song of the meadowlark.
And I have savored the breeze off freshly cut hay.
I have paused, remembering, by the stream I knew as a child.
I have felt the power of a thousand storms.
And rejoiced in the fresh world left in their wake.

I am only a farmer.
I am accountant. Chemist. And doctor.
I am midwife. And mechanic.
I am seller. Trader. And buyer.
Helper. Comforter.
And partner to my spouse.
And teacher to my children.

I am only a farmer.
Not a person of riches.
But one of great wealth.
I have learned to treasure life.
And all things living.
To respect their maker.
And my own.
I am humbled by the earth's bounty.
And awed by endless rebirth.
I am fascinated by the marvelous intricacies of my world.
And enriched by their beauty.

I am only a farmer.
If one can be truly free, then I am.
The day. The Week. The month.
They have been entrusted to me.
They are mine to spend.
They are mine to invest.
They are mine to use wisely.
It is a solitary profession I have chosen.
Or perhaps, been chosen for.
Where no promises are given
No excuses taken.
I have but one man to answer to.
One man to depend upon.
One man to confide in.
And in the quiet of the years, I have learned to know him well

I am only a farmer.
I am perseverance.
I am creativity. And courage.

I am only a farmer.
I am confidence.
And ingenuity.
And intelligence.

I am only a farmer.
A seeker of excellence.
And I will endure.
