This year has been…hard. It’s been hard, enlightening, and so much more fun than I ever would have guessed. We have laughed, cried, and sweat more than any other summer in my 30 years on earth. We have learned; we have lost; we have fallen more in love with each other as the days go on. We wanted to share throughout the year…but that seemed too hard, too much, and sounded a lot like excuses. Now that we are winding down and dreaming about next year, we are re-evaluating the entire season, where we want to go from here, and how best to refocus for the upcoming season.  Weather: Okay, to be fair, we knew that weather was going to be a huge factor in growing things. I did not expect, however, for every weekend to either be approximately 1,000 degrees or rain. With half our garden being in another zip code, this made it extremely challenging to find a good time to drive out & work in the yard. Health: I also did not expect one of the worst allergic reactions to the sun (blistery hives)

  We are so excited to see everyone this upcoming season! 

  We are so excited to start this season! We are still working on the locations, dates, and times that we will be out in the community selling items, but we are currently working on getting certified to accept the Senior & WIC farmer's market food stamps in both Kansas and Missouri!

This year was our first year digging into the dirt of farming, homesteading, and self-sufficiency. One of the major learning curves was learning how to speak the language of homesteaders! For this weeks tip Tuesday, we thought we would give you a glossary to always have at your disposal!

They can produce both fish and plants for food.  Bolt : a plant that has gone to seed prematurely.
