Weekend DIY project... In 2019, I (Kris) built this wash stand for the fest. It was for washing your bring-your-own-dishes. This weekend, Mike surprised me by building this amazing hose stand. Now I can wash @awakenapotheca roots and roots from the veg garden that much easier. My hands are free to handle the roots instead of wrestling a hose. Small project, big function. And now at the next workshop or fest, you can rinse things hands-free, too!

It sure is dry out there. The land crunches underfoot. In many ways, community is cracking. And for some, hope is quite parched. We are still wringing out drops of hope here... to quench the land’s thirst, and for a long drink of community and togetherness. While we are sad to say the fest won’t happen this year in its usual form, we’re working on some intimate workshops (throughout summer and something special on Aug 14&15), and will be running a u-pick medicinal herb farm (find us @awakenapotheca), so there will be opportunities to connect- with each other, with the land, with the plants - and be sure to say hello to these sweet hens. // What are you interested in learning with a small group this summer?

Two sets of paired nest boxes went up today, in hopes that the gardens will provide a feast of pesky-to-us,but tasty-to-birds, grubs and bugs. The idea behind the paired boxes is that while some birds won’t nest close to their own species, they will allow birds of another species to occupy a neighbouring box. We found lots of info online through The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and also a helpful video by Takota Coen on YouTube. Do you employ nest boxes for integrated pest management (or to simply enjoy more feathered friends)?

Not a glamorous farm life photo, yet a reality of country life. This is a great time of year to practice observation of water patterns on your yard or farmland. Walk the land, or traverse it in the way that works for you, noting low spots where water pools, how water flows, and which areas are dry. This info can inform how you interact with the land this season and into the future - how you can manage water, where you can plant moisture-loving (or drought-tolerant) plants and trees, where a pond might be appropriate, and more.

Hey, fest friends... We started a herb farm! A dream years in the making. We finally broke ground in 2019, and grew and harvested our first medicinals in 2020. This year we’re inviting you into the fun! You can find details of our 🌿 Fresh Medicinal Herb U-Pick, 🌸 Fresh Medicinal Herb CSA, and bulk fresh & dried herbs over at @awakenapotheca. Looking forward to seeing you in the gardens, at workshops, in the campground, and at our guest retreat spaces this summer!

Hard to believe that the Mushroom Cultivation work

Hard to believe that the Mushroom Cultivation workshop with @rivercityfungi at the 2019 fest was tucked into an enchanted little spot right down one of these forest rows. Unfortunately, the squirrels took over that mushroom bed, so we’ll have to try again. But, that just means more opportunity to learn and grow - and try to outsmart the squirrels! Can’t wait to have you here at the farm again once this lane is lined with anise hyssop, and the horsetail waves hello from forest floor.
