THIS & THAT.

Some random photos from the past week.Gomer is helping us to plow up the garden.The greenhouse is already overflowing with soil blocks!Spreading compost in the big gardens with Eric and Cher.Chicken party on the front lawn.Charlie keeps bringing baby bunnies to the house and I keep trying to save them by warming them up on the woodstove and feeding them milk from an eyedropper.

BACK IN STOCK.

Just a heads up that all of our new honeybee shirts, the children sizes of Farmacist shirts, and the Know Your Cuts shirts are finally back in (limited!) stock in our online store. The Ferment shirts will be back after WILDfest next month.- Hannah.

WILD FEST.

Next month, on April 19th at the beautiful Cedar Creek Vineyards, I will have the privilege of presenting at the same event as one of my greatest influences, Mr. Sandor Katz. The event is called WILDfest, a celebration of foraging and fermentation, and if you are anywhere within driving distance of Somerset, KY (and perhaps even if you're nowhere near), you should absolutely consider coming!Sandor––whose latest book "The Art of Fermentation" has acquired numerous accolades included a James Beard Award and reaching the coveted New York Times Bestseller List, and whose presence could be seen all over Michael Pollan's latest work "Cooked"––is a talented and dynamic presenter. For those interested in fermentation, this is a great opportunity to better understand the necessity of fermentation and perhaps some of the basic guidelines for making consistent and healthful ferments.As if you needed any more incentive, use the code Roughdraft15 when you buy your tickets and receive ten percent off the ticket price between now and April 1st! Hannah and I will have a booth there, and I will be presenting on natural homemade wine. The Kentucky Forager, Reclaiming Your Roots, Kentucky Heartwood, as well as famed naturalist and storyteller Doug Elliot will all also be presenting. It's destined to be good times and we'd love to see you there!-Jesse.

SPRINGING FORWARD.

Happy Spring Equinox! We've been busy around here. Even though the weather is still dipping into the 20s and 30s (argh!), we have been ignoring this and starting more and more trays of soil blocks. And since trying to squeeze all of these trays into our tiny cold frame during the day and stacking them on the kitchen sink at night wasn't working too well, we built a greenhouse yesterday. We were lucky to have most of these materials laying around, either given to us or salvaged or found or repurposed. We are planning to cover the floor with gravel and then hopefully build some tables and shelves for plants and tools. Hooray for getting stuff done out of necessity!- Hannah.
