It’s been a productive weekend thanks to the family! 👩‍🌾 Didn’t snap any pics 📸 yesterday of sister Chelsea, niece Sammi, and husband David, but thanks to the team we planted about 450 strawberries 🍓 😋 and perennial natives. 🌻

On this Earth Day, we take a moment to share how we reduce, reuse, and recycle. You can do these things too!

👩‍🌾 collect rainwater for our plants (600 gallons so far this year and counting!)

👩‍🌾 cover crop to naturally add nutrients to the soil, improve water intake, suppress w**ds, and reduce erosion

👩‍🌾 plant native shrubs and trees to diversify local ecosystem

👩‍🌾 common milkw**d and swamp milkw**d around the farm provides habitat for monarchs and multiple other beneficial butterflies, moths, bees, beetles, and more

👩‍🌾 wild aster stays in place feeding late fall pollinators

👩‍🌾 hugelkultur mounds sequester carbon

👩‍🌾 compost our kitchen scraps and solarize w**d piles

👩‍🌾 preserve fruits and vegetables for long shelf-life and optimal nutrition

These resources have been really helpful since we started our little farm in 2015…check them out!

We are excited to partner with U of I Extension and Bement High School again for our Farm to Preserved Foods course! Students have learned:

👩‍🌾 how food gets from farm to table
👩‍🌾 about nutrient density (fresh fruits and vegetables lose nutrients the longer they sit after harvest waiting to be consumed)
👩‍🌾 how to prepare and cook apples into applesauce
👩‍🌾 that food scraps can be used for composting

🗓️ Tomorrow they will learn how to safely seal the applesauce in a water bath for shelf stability.
