Hello Flower Lovers!
It was absolutely another great week of farming between our little KFM run with the extras we had to sell, a local restaurant order of elderflower and garlic scapes (shoutout to Babz Bistro!), a beautiful bread delivery for the Woodhill International Market and finally the Pollinator Market in Covington, Kentucky on Saturday. Are we tired? Yep. Do we wake up every day looking forward to all of the things we get to do around our farming life? Also, yes! The flowers ripening now are really showing off: a couple of dahlias, echinacea, rudbeckia, marigolds, daisies and even some zinnias and saponaria are starting to “do the thing” which means, it is making a flower. One of us will yell, “Hey honey! The (such and such) is doing the thing!”
To all of the new email subscribers, WELCOME! As a reminder, you can always skim the top part of each newsletter to see the dates of where we will be next, and stay for my ramblings if you wish! We do a drawing the first of each month for someone on this list to get a free flower something/treat from our farm! There are 11 new people on our weekly newsletter list today, ALL from the Pollinator Market in Covington on Saturday. Thank you! We almost sold all of the flowers we brought, including all of the “native and naughty” bouquets. I made some native mix bunches that had rudbeckia, bergamot, fleabane, and echinacea in them as well as a couple with some naughty, but beautiful, Queen Anne’s lace, lemon balm, chicory, and mullein, that are non-native and even invasive (sorry QAL/lemon balm) as a way to bring attention to how our plants interact with the environment we live in.
Perriee and I have quite an affinity for that neighborhood, as the people we know there are so incredibly supportive of our farm. Artmarkit, Ronnie’s Corner Market, Scarlet Begonia’s and Olla are all folks we consider some of our biggest cheerleaders AND we got to vend next to one of our favorite native plant IG accounts, website linked here: native.yards (and meet them and get a Joe Pye Weed plant from them!) from whom (did I use, “whom” it right? It might be the first time) you can learn about transforming the land adjacent to your home into a native habitat. I would also recommend signing up for his newsletter. It comes around once a month or so and always full of amazing information.
We also got to meet the kind face behind Laughing Earth Flower Farm who we are also connected with through the algorithm and who gifted us some gorgeous nigella pods (dreamy). Thank you to all of our dear friends who made the trip to support us and to our local brothers who came to see us too! There were even people from Lexington who came through that we were so surprised to see there serendipitously. It was truly magical.
Pride and flock update: Oscar wanted me to tell you he is extremely disappointed in us for coming home Saturday from our market to head right back out after feeding them. We stayed away overnight, planning on camping in a tent, but sleeping in the car because all of our stuff got wet after a good rain. We did not care. We needed the time away to connect with a very amazing group of mostly women (so many of them growers of plants). He will forgive us one day. He started typing something, but I deleted it because it was a little too much for this crowd!
