Between all the "doing" of farming, there is also a very real part of growing food in this way that is actively "not doing", or maybe better described as "observing with intention". 
.
.
While we do keep an eye out for crop damage from insects (as they are hungry little buggers), much of the time we notice that populations naturally ebb and flow throughout the seasons with little impact on the vegetable plants.  Plus, many other beneficial predators, such as snakes and birds, really appreciate from the presence of these larger insects.
.
.
🌱It's all part of the biodiversity that makes for healthy soils and vibrant ecosystems, and it's an honour to watch it all happen.

In the summer months, it's pretty obvious what farmers do:  the results are on your plate πŸ…. 
.
.
But what about winter?  Is there anything to do? (That last bit is a cheeky joke for our farmer friends...but also an honest well-intentioned question that gets asked a lot!). πŸ˜‚
.
.
Our Winter CSA wrapped up 2 weeks ago, and we have 8 weeks before starting our first seedlings, so between photos of future food and snowy farm animals I thought I'd share what is sprouting this week in the office 🌱.

❄️Keisha is always stoked to take a break from her farm responsibilities and go tromp around in the woods.  Here, she's having some good old-fashioned fun with her buddy Pancha (they happen to look really alike, which is pretty darn cute). 
.
.
These two are a real howl, and snowy hikes like this keep us all re-charged and motivated on the farm.
.
.
What do you do to stay energized and focussed on your goals?

Today's #farmcrushfriday is a shoutout to our farmer friend Isabelle, who made a real mark amongst the West Coast farming community before heading back to her roots in Ontario this past year. 

πŸ₯•She's on track to start up a solid horse-powered, vegetable-growing operation, and we are so stoked to cheer her on from afar.
.

Follow @vintagesoil.farm to get inspired by a bad-ass lady farmer, see more photos of real horsepower working the land, and tell your Ontario friends to give her a call for spring veggies.πŸ’š

Now that the holidays are over, we are back to dreaming and scheming about how to grow food that inspires kitchen creativity for our community and simple meals at home.

Anyone else already excited for ratatouille season?

This week at the farm we hustled to deliver the last round of this year's harvest boxes (on New Years eve), ate a ridiculous amount of baked goods, and toasted 2020 for all that it brought to the table.
.
.
We have all kinds of hopes and dreams for the 2021 farming season that is to come, but for now it's feeling real nice to take a few days to give the horses an ear scratch, have a second cup of tea in the morning, and bake a few loaves of bread before diving into this next lap around the sun. 🌱

We used the term "full" to describe 2020 in a nutshell, and give a quick recap of the year with some holiday cheer.

We know it might be simpler to run the farm with tractors instead of horses.  They get parked for days without walking away.  You turn a key.  Add some fuel.  Yes, stuff breaks, but there's often a catalogue or a manual or an equipment dealership to help troubleshoot the hiccups.
.
.
I've never heard of a tractor giving a furry nuzzle on a frosty morning. The neighbour's John Deere never nickers at me when I walk past the barn.  You don't see the farm cat playing tag with the Kubota. 🐾
.
.
So it may look a little different from most what's around here, but we wouldn't want it any other way.

Well folks, today is the day.  The shortest day, at least here in this hemisphere 🌎
.
.
On today's winter solstice, it's got us thinking about this past year, and everything the light has given us through food and through farming (thank you to our pal photosynthesis 🌱🀟). 
.
.
🐎The bright sun of springtime, melting snow to make way for a team of horses to plow the fields. 
.
.
🌞The long light of summer, giving moments of delirious laughter on a hot day in the zucchini patch and a sense of purpose in an uncertain world. 
.
.
πŸ…The low light of October, gifting us with an abundance of late cherry tomatoes and the joy that goes along with popping one in your mouth.
.
.
As farmers, our work is grounded by these seasonal changes. 
.
.
And you?  What feelings does the solstice bring you?  How do you celebrate this shift in the light? ⏳
