OMG, why can't we go any faster?? 😂

Okay, it's time to explain a bit more about what happens after the dahlias come out of the ground... because that's just one step! And the whole process is a race against time and Mother Nature.

We're working very hard to get our entire farm--over 1,500 dahlias--harvested in 2-3 weeks, and it is quite an undertaking. Fingers crossed we make it... we're about to find out!

Send good thoughts for mild weather and easy digging! 💚

Harvest Day 2 is in the books! 🙌 We are challengi

Harvest Day 2 is in the books! 🙌

We are challenging ourselves to get our entire farm harvested in 2-3 weeks, and today's goal is 200 dahlias... and huge increase from yesterday!

If you're new to our farm, welcome! This series will give you a behind the scenes look at what goes on around here... the hard work, the wins, and the hilarity that inevitably ensues. 😂

Onward!! 💚

Day One of Harvest 2026!

We grow over 1,500 dahlias on our farm, and it's our goal to get them all harvested in two weeks each year...or, at least before Thanksgiving at the latest!!

If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes during our harvest season, this series will give you a peek at the action... plus all the ups and downs and tomfoolery and shenanigans that go along with The Big Dig.

Let's goooo!!! 💚

Today, we voted, and if tonight has your stomach i

Today, we voted, and if tonight has your stomach in knots, the one thing you won’t hear from us is to ‘calm down’.

A lot of the standard advice for political stress is designed to try to make the feelings smaller. That works for plenty of things, but a threat to the people and freedoms you care about isn't a feeling we think anyone should try to shrink.

That said, those feelings ARE information, and we can use that information to begin the next steps in building the future we want.

Radical acceptance is something we practice in our own home, and it's rarely comfortable. Our life of trying to build a farm and home has left us with more encounters of difficult emotions than we can count. What we keep learning, though, is that the feelings we stop trying to run from are the ones that end up telling us where to put our energy.

And listen, nobody is going to turn this country around on their own. We are all in this together—for the long haul, and with all the feelings. The research on collective efficacy is consistent on this: groups that believe in their shared ability to act persist longer and get more done than people going it alone. So whatever the numbers say tonight (or tomorrow, or the next day), the next question to ask yourself isn't only how you feel about it. It's also who you're going to build with.

We’re grateful to be on this journey and building the future with all of you. Please: Stay loud. Stay connected. And don’t ever stop making good trouble that pisses off bad people.

Well, July was certainly…a month. We were oh-so-ha

Well, July was certainly…a month. We were oh-so-happy to turn the calendar page today and put it behind us, but that said, we’re also reflecting on what the ‘big lesson’ of the past 31 days has been.

And, you know…it’s something of a bitter pill.

Seeing the ways that the people and institutions we should be able to trust are not worthy of that trust shatters something we *want* to believe in, but can’t anymore.

On the one hand, it feels like a door closed. But on the other, it feels like the beginning of something bigger and more meaningful. We’ll let you read the essay and see if you agree (the full, unedited, and sourced version can be found on our Substack—link in bio).

But bottom line, we want to say this today: this is the craziest, sickest, ugliest timeline most of us could have imagined, during a time when humanity has made so much progress yet still operates with this level of depravity.

What is getting us through right now is watching the people who won’t settle for that or look away. People like you, who keep showing up and fighting for what is good and right. People who refuse to stop making good trouble and pissing off bad people. You are giving us hope to hold onto.

Thank you for that. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for that.

#ResistFascism #FoxtrotDeltaTango

P.S. We couldn’t really reflect on this past month without some thoughts on our local superstar, Jimothy. The full essay (on Substack) is where you’ll find it all!

Scrolling through eulogy after eulogy on Sunday ma

We don't call "a guy". We become "the guy". 💪 Bel

We don't call "a guy". We become "the guy". 💪

Believe it or not, we didn't get into this life because we love hard work for its own sake. We got into it because we got tired of paying someone to know things we were fully capable of learning ourselves.

If you're also one of the people who fixes it themselves purely out of spite for the quote they got and a refusal to outsource their knowledge, you're our people.
