They are here!! 🍓🌱🍓🌱🍓
You know what we’ll be doing Labor Day weekend. 💪🏼

One of the boxes must have gotten tossed around in transit as a good deal of the plugs were out of their holes in piles. Hopefully they recover.

We like planting in the fall MUCH better because we have more time now than in the spring, the soil (and weather) is better and warmer, and there is usually a MUCH larger window to get them in because it’s not the spring rainy season….but boy fall plugs have become way expensive. We could buy almost triple the amount of plants in bare root vs plugs. We might have to go back to planting everything in the spring. 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

The time has come to start working on the new (or maybe I should say redo) strawberry patch for planting. Plugs are coming soon.

We weren’t planning on doing this whole section, but with the really cold and wet spring, we lost too many plants in the side that wasn’t slated for replant, so we just did it all.

This time we are orienting our rows in a different direction (N/S vs old way W/E) in hopes this way will allow for better water drainage into the yard so the strawberry feet don’t stay as wet. The mounds are a bit higher too.

It seems we like to do this work when the heat and humidity have returned vs. doing it when cool and low humidity. 🙄

Yep we have a fair view….and it’s pretty bright.

If you ever wondered how we got our name, this is how. I know it can be confusing as the city of Fairview isn’t too far away, but it has nothing to do with that.

Last day for the Lorain County Fair is today.

To any of our local peeps…
You may be interested to know that Maria’s Field of Hope sunflower field is very close to us. 🌻🌻🌻🌻

In the past you’d have to go to Avon to see it, now there is one at the Penfield Rec Park too.

We stopped out there Sunday afternoon and many flowers were getting close to peak (meaning the center head hadn’t formed yet, heads are still upwards) and some still need to open. Now is the time to go visit a sunflower field for free and grab some photos….we did.

Went to grab a pen out of the drawer to write down this week’s orders….and this was waiting for me. I don’t know where it came from, but it seems like a very fitting pen for a farmer to use!! 🥕🫑🍓🍐🫐🥬 You press the tongue for on / off (wish people had that feature 🤪). A very simple way to bring a smile to the day!! 😁

Have you wanted to farm but felt stuck or that you couldn't because you don't have much (or no) equipment, land, infrastructure, etc? If so you might find this event to be what you need to help you get started.

Nathan and family will be headed to "The Gathering at Polyface 2026" event happening next weekend at Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm (presented by The Stockman Grass Farmer) as he is 1 of the 8 farmers that will be speaking about his story and starting a farm. That's pretty cool!!

There is still time to sign up if you would like to go to this. Info for the event is in the comments.

Got chicken? 🐓 We do!!! Had to break out the hay wagon to get them all. Can you guess how many? Headed to the butcher for pasture to plate.

Just happen to be outside when the wagon went down the farm lane because the GoodYear blimp went over the house as it headed back home. Don’t see it as much as we use to so it’s always cool when that happens.

With the clouds and rain Sunday night, it was the time to move indoors to knock out some more jams. It really is hard to be at the stove on nice sunny days!

This time the 2 fruits I dislike the most to process—elderberries and currants. They take so long. With currants you have to take the berry cluster off the bush (it doesn’t work well to just pull it off so must be cut) then take the berries off each stem. Elderberries are somewhat the same process but they are definitely easier to get off the bush and they come off the stem a little faster….but still seems not fast enough.

So…..
🫙 Elderberry Jelly sold out last week but is restock just in time.
🫙 Blueberry Currant Jam (which is added pectin free, if that matters to you, currants have a lot of their own pectin) is finally back in stock after a hiatus.

The blueberries, currants and elderberries are all grown on the farm and as with everything else here, it’s organically grown. 😋

🎉 New product alert! 🎉

We almost always have basil, but it’s a first for this one —
We now have Tulsi/ Holy Basil bunches in the farm store. 🌿🌿

Tulsi is a medicinal basil, not a culinary basil. And the smell of this one is different than regular basil….and it smells yummy!

The taste of it is different too. There are a few varieties of holy basil and many have a strong spicy clove taste to them. This variety has that in the background but the flavor most often given is bubblegum.

If you know what this herb does, you know its value, but if you don’t it has some great properties you should know about. I won’t list them all here, you can do a search to find that info, but stress relief is one of them.

Summer time is super busy here on the farm, so this summer to help deal with all that craziness, it has been enjoyed as an herbal iced tea, mixed in with some fresh lemon balm, spearmint and lemon juice …. sometimes with hibiscus and/or stinging nettle.

Bunches sold fresh. You can use it fresh for tea making or dry it for tea later or make a tincture. 🌿
