Memorial Day weekend in the PNW is traditionally THE time to plant your summer gardens ~ if you’re dreaming of refreshing cucumbers, tasty beans, tomato sandwiches, or scrumptious sun golds right off the vine, now is the time to make your dreams come true! Come see us at the Bainbridge Farmers Market this weekend and get a taste of this tomato lesson Rebecca gave the interns 🍅 #farmintern #plantstarts #summergarden #vegetablegarden #victorygarden #bainbridgeisland #memorialday #tomato

Yesterday was World Bee Day! To celebrate our favorite pollinators, we had a friend of the farm teach us all about beekeeping & help us install a swarm box! Swipe for recommended reading and some slow-mo bees 🐝🌸☀️ #bees #worldbeeday #pollinators #beekeeping #beneficialinsects #slowmotion

Our Wild & Fancy Salad Mix is one of a kind and different every time! First pic is some of our favorite wildcrafted offerings currently appearing in your salad bowl ~ how many do you recognize? #wildcraft #salad #wildandfancy

A lovely rainy Saturday @bifarmersmarket ☔️💐✨ So many amazing blooms are coming ready. It was a joy to share them with you today! #pnw #flowerfarming #bouquet #farmersmarket #flowers #bainbridgeisland #springtime #washingtongrown

It was a long day, but we’re ready for the Bainbridge market in the morning ~ We will have tomato and vegetable starts, bouquets, and lots of leeks! See y’all there!

Look out for this box at the farmer’s market this weekend, and donate if you are able! Across the country, crops are being destroyed for lack of regular restaurant buyers while city food banks have lines around the block. Now is the time for local people to help each other ~ that means ensuring healthy, fresh, local food for every member of the community, regardless of means. For more information on our changing supply chains, check out this fascinating podcast from @voxdotcom a few weeks back, and tell us your thoughts! https://open.spotify.com/episode/1zN9waU0wK39OAAoeH7RhG?si=HCIX24QLTRq24wFMHQLTAA #nofarmsnofood #foodbank #mutualaid #community #donate

A heart warmer from a few weeks ago ~ this year’s crop of interns keeping up the tradition of planting potatoes for next year’s crew. Every year the team does this as a group as a way of saying thank you for the work that was done to get the farm ready before we got here, and as a promise that we will leave it a beautiful, bountiful place for folks in the future.🥔🥔🥔

Symbiosis is a beautiful thing! These ants are eat

Symbiosis is a beautiful thing! These ants are eating the excess nectar produced by the peony bud, which according to folk flower wisdom helps their blooms be all the more gorgeous. Along the way, the ants are also eating other bugs that do harm to the plant. Everybody’s happy! (Especially us) 🌸 #peony #ants #symbiosis #flowersofinstagram #bloom #nature #bugs #beneficialinsects

Our farmers market was off to a great start this past weekend ~ we want to thank everyone who not only showed up, but also put so much thoughtfulness into their social distancing and safety measures. We’re already looking ahead to next Saturday, when there will be twice the hand-washing stations and a small forest of tomato (and other) starts crying out to be given a home in your summer garden🌱🍅☀️ #farmersmarket #bainbridgeisland #flowerfarmer #victorygarden #summergarden #garden #tomato #pnw #washington #shoplocal #eatlocal

We are big fans of @floretflower around here! As we say a grateful goodbye to our ranunculus crop, and look ahead to planting our zinnias and other summer annuals, Floret has been there every step of the way #farmerfloristcollective #zinnia #ranunculus #growingfloret #flowerfarm #planner

April 2020 was native plant appreciation month! We’re a little late to the party, but wanted to celebrate the PNW’s native lupine, seen here ready for transplanting. Lupine is a member of the legume family (meaning it fixes nitrogen in the soil and produces nutrient-rich lil seeds) and is particularly attractive to bumblebees. We grow it for its spire-shaped flowers that will bloom this summer ~ stay tuned! #lupine #nativeplants #nativeplantappreciation #pollinators #flowerfarming #flowerfarm #flowers #nativeflowers #pnw

Thanks to donations from our community as well as WSDA’s Farm to Food Pantry initiative, we have over $1000 of our fresh produce going to local food banks in the coming weeks. Today we dropped off our Wild & Fancy salad mix, cauliflower, and spinach harvested by our neighbor Sara Rekow from the Wiseacres Community Garden! #farmtofoodbank #farmtofoodpantry #wsda #allinthistogether #mutualaid #communitygarden

Leek greens, when fresh from the farm, are tender and delicious. Often discarded, they were the star of our brunch. 🍳

There’s no wrong way to enjoy PSB (purple sprouting broccoli ~ a PNW early spring specialty) but every-veggie-in-the-fridge sushi might be our new favorite. #cookshack #purplesproutingbroccoli #pnw #pnwlife #farmlife
