Why plant more in October?

1. Eat well all year
2. Provide year-round employment
3. Improve overall business

Heartbreaking. Do we need yet another reason to de-ICE the country?

Why do we try to grow more than the usual? We want a stable food supply in all four seasons. Because apparently people want to eat next month as well as today. Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. BTW, Epstein. #familyfarm #fall #food #gardening

So so sorry. And trauma stays in our bodies for a long time. We learn how to deal with it, but we never forget.

Thank you, Boston!

How much basil do we need to plant?
So far, there has not been too much basil.

Part of our season extension plan is to grow basil as long as we can. Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. Your choices of where to spend money have a big impact. BTW, Epstein. #familyfarm #basil

Thank you to everyone who is speaking on behalf of others, who is exercising their first amendment right to free speech, who is saying no Kings, no fascism, no dictators. We keep growing; we believe in a free future. #familyfarm #nokings

Thomas Webster (1746-1807) left his family and his farm to go fight for a country not yet formed, for ideals of liberty, representation, equality. What makes a farmer leave his family and land? My 4x great-grandparents were amazing. #nokings #familyfarm

Worried about frost? Keep an eye on the weather, know what needs to be harvested right away, and what can handle a frost. Same with your neighborhoods, watch out for icy conditions, stay safe. Thank you for supporting small businesses in your area. BTW, Epstein. #farmlife #garden #familyfarm

Sometimes a little extra help is all that is needed to protect the tree so that it does well for the following season. True for people as well. Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. Where you spend your money matters. BTW, Epstein. #familyfarm #farmlife #persimmon

If we haven’t met, I’m an ornery 70 yr old farmer who says no to authoritarianism, to fascism, and to kings. Yes to voting rights, yes to education for all children, and yes to habeas corpus and warrants. Can’t believe I have to say this. In the meantime, we keep on growing. Btw, Epstein. #farmlife

Every day we keep on planting, even as temperatures cool (zone 7, northern DE). Look for plants that thrive in cooler temps AND tolerate frost. Spinach, lettuce, kale, broccoli, etc. And remember, Epstein files. #gardening #fall #familyfarm #farmtotable

Did you know? The collective noun for frogs is an army of frogs. Thank you, Portland, for raising an army of frogs. In the meantime, we keep on harvesting summer and planting for fall and winter. Because, apparently some people want to eat next month as well. BTW, Epstein. #familyfarm #garden

What is the hardest part about saving seeds?

Be patient and let the plant work. It takes about 45 days post-harvest date for the plant to develop seeds. Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. BTW, Epstein files! #garden #familyfarm
