Well, we sure are missing you all these days! We’ve been quiet as we walk though a tough family illness (Kris’ dad), but we think often of the fest community. 🌑 This new moon has us dreaming of cultivating new skills, inspiring and being inspired, radical talks around the campfire, wild and free children running in the pines, and well really, just pining away to simply be together. 🌲We’ll be checking in more soon to find out how we can cultivate community & learning with you in 2021. Can’t wait to hear your ideas! And always, feel welcome to share them anytime, in post comments, DMs, or emails.❤️

Exploring cold storage options for this year. A li

Exploring cold storage options for this year. A little late in the game, but better late than never. We’re thinking for easy access (our basement is a crawl space that isn’t a joy to get to), we’ll insulate an armoire type piece of furniture in the attached (un-heated) garage, and vent it to the house for warm air. Now that we’re headed in that direction, we’re contemplating making another in our mud room (vented to the outside) to replace our second fridge - it would store butter, eggs, ferments, etc. You can see an example of something similar by Takota Coen on YouTube. What set up do you have, or dream of having?

Thankful for each member of the fest community - t

Thankful for each member of the fest community - teachers, attendees volunteers, sponsors, friends, and family. Thankful for the land we gather on. For the indigenous communities who tended it - the first permaculture practitioners and farmers. For the spaces we’ve been able to create to foster community (like this new outdoor kitchen addition!). Thankful for learning from each other - all the DIY goodness, and also how to be better humans and community members. Today and many days ahead, we’re going to focus not just on giving thanks, but on giving back. We can’t always do that with money (definitely sometimes), but we can continue to share posts and stories, ask questions - to learn and to spark learning, engage with others in conversation - including the children we are walking with, and be open and curious. We’re sharing resources today over on our @cityfolkfarm account. Please feel welcome to share here, too. It’s easy to think everyone already knows what you know. Not so. We’ve already discovered several accounts & projects we didn’t know about -many from you guys- because we dedicated social media time this weekend to learning, giving thanks and giving back. 🍂🌻🌞

A little bit of a ‘morning after a night out’

A little bit of a ‘morning after a night out’ photo, but had to capture these sunroot (sunchoke, jerusalem artichoke) blooms, even if they’re a bit disheveled. These are the first blooms we’ve seen since we moved here 3 years ago. We have loads of sunroot around the farm, but these huge, blossoming beauties are neighbours to last year’s chicken coop bedding pile and clearly benefit from the nitrogen boost. We’ve also started fertilizing fertilizing other areas of sunroot with diluted urine (thanks @wholesystemsdesign). Do you use this free fertilizer source? Would you? Also, for more info on this amazing plant check out Audrey Logan’s FB page (and donate to her fundraiser for an indigenous led permaculture garden & meeting place - West Broadway Indigenous Agriculture Site on GoFundMe).

Herbals in the house! Maybe in your house? We’re

Herbals in the house! Maybe in your house? We’re excited to share some of the farm-grown medicinal goodness we’ve been tending since way back when seed orders went in, on our farm account @cityfolkfarm. We hope you’ll pop over and check it out!
