We have some exciting news! Jalina of @soulmosaicgardens will not only be at our local imagine charter school fair this coming Saturday (9-2 and Santa will be there) selling her tinctures, but will also be growing her own herbs and veggies for her tinctures and ferments on our farm!! We had space, they needed some land, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to learn and grow and rub shoulders with this awesome person! Hope you can make it over to say hi!

If you wonder if chickens lay all year round. In the natural world they don’t. Naturally the rest their sphincters in the winter. It’s not because of the cold as you may be wondering. But because of lack of daylight hours. So in the chicken farming community they use lights to pretend there are still more hours, which in fact does induce egg laying. Now, another fun fact is that they only have a certain amount of eggs 🥚 in their body’s that they lay in a life time. So if you make winters false summers they will only lay for a couple years. But if you give them a break they will get the pleasure in laying for longer. Thus we don’t use lights to stimulate light... we allow them the rest of winter. It’s roughly 5 months on not going into labor daily. I think they deserve it. #happyfunchickentip

We are getting all ready for our garlic class this weekend! If you’ve ever dreamt about harvesting your own garlic, this is the class to go to. Garlic is my favorite to grow, because it’s easy with huge return. Follow the link in bio for more information.

Boy, are we relieved that plants do not have the mindset of humans. If I were to predict our first season ever on Wozani farm, because of so many factors my expectations were low. There’s been a lot of thought that, oh well, we’ll just call it done this season. The end. . And yet today I walked the garden being September 14, and in the crate I collected eggplants, onions, tomatoes, carrots, basil, beets, and kale. More than we could have hoped for. 🌱 🌱 🌱 . Be like the plant, know your purpose. Grow with the intention of fruit and production. Do not let your mind, in a fickle position, to rule your outcome.

For engaged couples. I (along with my kiddos) got to work with @coloradoaromatics again last thursday. This time we started with deheading the hops vines from the heads. It came to my attention that this would be an awesome confetti at your wedding!!!!!

I remember on long road trips in South Africa, there were massive fields of sunflowers... and I marveled at the ability to always follow the sun. They are something special.
