We are excited to share all the fun things we have planned for you! Summer is in full swing, the harvest is plentiful, and we have lots of member events coming up!

Spring is in full swing and I know we have all been busy in the field. It has been a joy to see the blooms coming from everyone's farms and gardens!

Spring has finally sprung, for some of us...

Join us for our Blooming Zoom this Thursday, May 11th at 8 PM.

While we are grateful and excited about the record-breaking snowpack, some of us have seedlings that need to be planted out, and it is just... not... stopping.

The flowers in the field are done. It is time to dig up tubers, plant bulbs, put down hardy seeds, and get things ready for the next year. It can be so hard to say goodbye to a season. It can be so hard to watch the flowers you have spent hours upon hours caring for turn to black mush. Or maybe it’s a relief. Maybe it’s finally being able to spend some time doing things at your own pace and changing up your rhythm just in time to avoid burnout. Or maybe it’s both, maybe it’s both heartbreak and relief. Either way, summer is over and the only thing to do now is to prepare for next year, hopefully giving yourself a head start on the season.
