Hey Reader, Tonight we’re opening the doors to our nursery. Not polished. If you’ve been meaning to get your seeds started, this is your nudge. In Seed Starting 101, we’re walking through three simple but powerful ideas: 1. How to calculate how much you actually need to sow​ 2. Seed starting strategies that reduce overwhelm​ 3. A live seed starting demo​ ✨ Bonus: Dave will also show you how we root cuttings — one of our favorite ways to multiply plants without buying more. This is less of a lecture and more of a behind-the-scenes walk through our process. If you’ve ever wondered how small farms prepare for spring… this is it.
Bring a few seed packets. We’ll see you tonight. Grow abundantly, |

Hey Reader, Just a quick heads-up — we're going live tonight at 7:30 PM ET for Starting Your Summer Beds, and I wanted to make sure you saw this because we are so excited to show you how to plan your summer beds while also showing off our SAGE App's Crop Planner and Guild Builder! Here are a few sneak peak screenshots into how it (and this webinar) can help you select the plants that go into your summer beds) If you've been looking at your garden and thinking "I missed the window," you...
Hey, Reader!I finally planted the remaining potatoes this week! Rows of them, in what we in permaculture call Zone 1, the area closest to your home, the kitchen garden. And every time we put something in the ground in April, I think about the invisible work happening beneath the surface, the thing no one talks about at the garden center, the thing that determines whether your plants thrive or just survive. The life in the soil. Unbeknownst to me for many years, the life in the soil actually...
