Tuesday’s Dirt: Herbs & Rain

22 May

The sun has been hiding, the rain has been falling and we don’t mind. The flowers are happy and our field of tomatoes won’t need a drink for a week or so after today! When it rains it’s quiet on the farm. People are busy at work or snuggled in their homes. So it give us time to visit all of our plants and say hello. A little pruning here, a transplant there and a deep breathe. We have been planting herbs in pots, perfect for the back deck or patio. The fragrance of fresh herbs make us smile. Cilantro, chives, parsley, sage, rosemary, lemon thyme, mint, pineapple sage, oregano and more. They are all unique and can add life to your favorite dish, drink or cup of tea. So visit us for all your flowers, shrubs, trees and vegetables…but don’t forget your herbs!

Tuesday’s Dirt: Sweet Spring!

10 Apr

We love to get our hands in the soil, plant seeds and smell the petite lavender plants that can calm you with one deep whiff. We want to share some of the simple pleasures we experience daily on the farm with our newest feature, “Tuesday’s Dirt.” We will take you on a tiny pictorial trip down fresh & fancy lane. Oh! btw it’s not all sunshine and happiness (all the time). Tending to plants takes time and patience. We know what it’s like to have dirty, rough, splintered hands…and like it. Enjoy!

Early spring strawberries.

Little yellow cups.

Feathered guests.

Fresh cut lettuce.

Happy “Plant A Flower Day”

12 Mar

It’s “Plant a flower day” and planting a flower or appreciating one seems like the perfect thing to do on this toasty Monday. Below is a collection of vintage seed packets we fancy. They feel royal, untouchable. We imagine in 1866 to get your hands on one of these packets was like magic. Although, we imagine that’s exactly how we would feel if someone handed us them today.

Plant a flower. It doesn’t have to be today or tomorrow – but sometime this spring. Plant it, water it and soon you will be the guardian of something delicate and beautiful.

Life in the Greenhouse

5 Mar

Spring is right around the corner. And in growing, every day, drop and degree matters! So a lot of our time now will be spent taking care of our tiny plants in the greenhouse. We will be sure to feed them the right amount of water and make sure they are at the temperature that makes them happy! Some plants (like marigolds) are hardier so being in slightly cooler temperature doesn’t bother them unlike other plants that may freeze.

Recently we planted hundreds of tiny plugs into larger plots so they can start spreading their roots! Below are some photos of the little guys from lavender to apple mint. Stay tuned for updates…here’s to a happy spring! Enjoy!

Winter on the Farm

16 Jan

In the winter months the farm lays dormant. Mother nature likes to makes sure we don’t take sunny summer days and rainy spring ones for granted. The peacefulness of Fresh & Fancy Farms in the winter is beautiful. From a distance, life looks sparse but it’s happening everywhere from the greenhouse to the potting shed. Here are some of our favorite details about winter on the farm…
