It was an honour to pitch in with the @adagioacres Winter Grain CSA by helping out with Amy’s vision for a few intimate workshops to give CSA members ideas for how to use the grains in their shares. Fantastic teachers, keen learners, and community spirit made for a lovely day of sharing. Thanks to @adagioacres for an amazing event, to @versluisdeb, Laurie Cyr, @jodi.hildebrand and @loafandhoney for your wonderful workshops, and to all the CSA members who joined in!

JOURNAL // Seed testing - a great way for home gardeners and homesteaders to bring some vibrancy into these cold winter months, and prepare for the gardening season ahead. A reboot of an old post from many years back... loving the tiny little hands of our little ones! Link to post in bio.

Hoping to find more of these in the coop as the light returns! Currently about 2-3 per day from the 9 Penderwick hens. We’re also bringing Rosalind into the greenhouse today to tend to a sore foot. Winter chicken care is kind of complicated with a small coop and nowhere to create a separate triage area! Really looking forward to when they can be outdoors more, enjoying the greens, bugs and trees! How are your coops and hens doing this winter?

JOURNAL // Do you cut or purchase a real tree for the holidays? Years ago, around 2013, we wrote some words on the debate between real and fake, and also shared some ideas, along with our friend, fest teacher and wild edibles expert, Laura Reeves, for how to repurpose your real tree into food, medicine and craft - to honour it and extend the magic and joy a tree brings. We spent some time over the holidays bringing that piece over to the fest journal. We hope you enjoy it! Please feel welcome to add your ideas in the comments - how do you repurpose your tree? LINK in bio. And, those toes! They belong to one-and-half-year-old Milo, who is now almost 10!
