This is your reminder that now is the time to get This is your reminder that now is the time to get next year’s garlic in the ground. Garlic is definitely a lesson in patience. We won’t harvest these bulbs until next fall! But we were out in the misting rain this morning getting it in the ground. We still have about about 40 to plant. :) This year we’re planting Early Italian Softneck garlic. We normally grow Red Inchelium, but we ordered our seed garlic a little later than usual, so we’re giving a new variety a try. Fingers crossed it performs well in our Arizona garden. To give these bulbs the best start possible, we’re using a 5-2-2 organic garlic fertilizer specially formulated for alliums. Garlic is a heavy feeder, and strong root development now helps support bigger bulbs at harvest time. We’ll check back in next year and see how this variety compares. 🌱🧄 #garlic #GardenToTable #Zone8BGardening #GrowYourOwnFood

Five years ago, when we brought pigs to the farm f Five years ago, when we brought pigs to the farm for the first time, we had no idea how much we’d come to love them. One of the reasons we got pigs was to help improve our land. Over the years they’ve rooted through rocky ground, broken up hard clay soil, and accelerated the process of turning a neglected area into something productive again. Last week, we cleared piles of rocks they helped uncover and spread mulch across the entire area. Today, we seeded it with red clover to help return nitrogen to the soil and continue building healthy ground for the future. It’s satisfying to look back and see how far this little corner of the farm has come. Here’s to another year of pigs and another step toward healthier soil. #Pigs #GrowingHealthySoil #Tamworth
Thirty pounds of pork fat went out the door today. Thirty pounds of pork fat went out the door today. To some, it’s just fat. To others, it’s liquid gold. Our returning customers know exactly what they’re getting: premium fat for rendering into lard. From crisp potatoes to fried okra, homemade lard is a traditional kitchen staple that’s making a comeback. Since we raise Tamworth pigs, a naturally leaner heritage breed, extra fat is something we don’t have in huge quantities. When it’s available, it tends to go quickly. Have you ever rendered your own lard? #Tamworth #Lard #RenderLard #PastureRaisedPork
Fall means a lot of things on the farm, but upon o Fall means a lot of things on the farm, but upon opening today packages… it apparently means lots of fall bulbs. I may have grossly overestimated the number of bulbs I should order. But fingers crossed we will have lots of beautiful flowers in the spring. #hollandbulbs #bulbs

Five years ago, playing “sort the pepper” was a lo Five years ago, playing “sort the pepper” was a long, arduous task. I’d sit surrounded by piles of mystery peppers, flipping through plant ID apps, running Google searchs, and texting garden friends for backup—trying to remember what I planted where. Every harvest felt like a guessing game. Nearly six years into gardening, it’s different. Now I can sort a basket quickly — jalapeños, serranos, poblanos, Thai, Tabasco — even if a few of the tiny ones still try to trick me when they’re picked too early or too late in the season. It’s funny how experience sneaks up on you. And with night temps dropping, it’s officially time to start pulling peppers and making room for the fall garden. Sure I could leave everything in a little longer, but after a year of life challenges the neglected garden clearing beds feels like a reset. A fresh start. A chance to for a new start. 🌶️ #peppers #lastHarvest #colderNight #gardenPrep
Fair week always brings its own kind of chaos. Thi Fair week always brings its own kind of chaos. This morning we loaded up five pigs and headed to market, then swung by the new Allsup’s so I could grab bean burritos like I used to as a kid. Now we’re at the fairgrounds getting everything ready — and planning ahead. We’ll have holiday hams for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and pork boxes ready in about 4–6 weeks once the butcher finishes up. Busy days, full hands, good memories. #allsupsburrito #allsups #pork #porkboxes #christmasham
The pigs head to market on Tuesday, which means po The pigs head to market on Tuesday, which means pork boxes are officially on the way. With fair season in full swing, the butcher’s schedule is a little unpredictable, so we’ll announce pickup dates as soon as we have them. If you want to make sure you get a box, you can pre‑order soon! #pork #porkboxes #farmfresh
Fair week prep includes refreshing rabbit tattoos. Fair week prep includes refreshing rabbit tattoos. They don’t always stay crisp forever, so updating them helps judges verify identity and lets kids show confidently during showmanship. One of those behind‑the‑scenes tasks that keeps everything running smoothly. Plus, it was really sweet to see one generation of showman teaching the next generation of showman. #rabbit #rabbitshowman #countyFair
Made up a fresh batch of pork jerky for County Fai Made up a fresh batch of pork jerky for County Fair next week. Fair days get long, and eating well can be a challenge when you’re running around — so having real, protein‑packed snacks like this is a lifesaver. #pork #jerky #countyFair
Love getting so many letters from our 4‑H and FFA Love getting so many letters from our 4‑H and FFA kids as they gear up for county fair season. These students work hard all year — early mornings, late nights, and a whole lot of heart. Come out and support them at the fair next Saturday and show them their community is behind them. #countyfair #4h #ffa

While clearing the overgrown garden that filled wi While clearing the overgrown garden that filled with weeds in hopes of planting a fall garden…. I found this lady. She’s a banded garden spider. And I love seeing their webs. I wish they would build them out of the walkways, but I love letting them catch and kill the abundance of grasshoppers, flys and mosquitoes this year. #gardenSpider #overgrown #weeds
Harvested the last of the apples we had not gotten Harvested the last of the apples we had not gotten to yet! Washed and rough chopped; added cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, and some of last year’s dried juju-bees with a bit of sucanant. Excited for some fresh apple cider tonight. #apple #applecider #fall #fallish
