We're coming out TO the 2026 Pride Lake festival this Saturday, Sept. 12! We'll be there selling our gourmet goods -- Crop Popsicles galore! -- plus farm-made jams, photography, vintage clothes and more!

This year's costume theme of HEROES inspired us to dress up as two... things ...who have done more for humanity than any human has.

Sourceatarianism is a movement promoting transparency and accountability in food sourcing, emphasizing the importance of knowing where our food comes from. On a trip to Santa Marta, Colombia we realized how important it is that food be obtained with appreciation and respect for the environment. We encourage you to read this next installment of the series on our Purpose at Buy From Friends for a more informed choice about food and products.

We're headed to .milly.market this evening with popsicles and jams! Pop in at the pavilion any time between 4 & 7 to see us!

In garden news, we took a trip to the pine forest to procure pine needles for mulch. We want to protect the intentionally planted plants soil nutrients from the opportunistic nitrogen feeders. The last picture of the garlic bed shows the inevitable state of unmulched areas. If you look closely you'll notice chicory, dock, chickweed, dandelion, and henbit deadnettle - all of which are edible, but they're also nitrogen feeders so they're not helping that garlic.
