Wreather Madness

November 12, 2020  /  Elisa Lane

Greetings,

We enjoyed and made the most of the unseasonably warm temperatures early in the week, and hope that you all did the same. We’ve done lots of weeding, orchard maintenance, and bulb planting this week. Once the rain came we hunkered down under shelter and worked on making lots of wreaths and succulent planters to bring to market in the coming weeks. The end of the season is quite fun on the farm. There’s always a nice balance of creative projects and deeply satisfying farm cleanup work. I often think about how lucky I am to have landed in a farm job that lets me flex my creative muscles so frequently. The work never gets dull.

As any long-time Two Boots follower would know, we make a LOT of wreaths in the late fall and early winter. Every season, we refine our skills and exercise our creativity a bit more freely. We challenged ourselves to expand our horizons more than usual this week, a made lots of wreaths that feel particularly special and unique. We’re looking forward to bringing them to market this weekend, and hope you love them as much as we do! We’re still accepting online wreath orders, which can be placed here.

Here’s where you can find us this weekend:

November 15th, 8:00 am - 11:00 am: Johnny’s

We’ll be at market with broccoli, butternut squash, chard, collard greens, hakurei turnips, kale, lettuce mix, spinach, sweet potatoes, watermelon radishes, wreaths, and eucalyptus bunches.

Though our CSA has ended for the season, we’ll continue to offer produce boxes for pickup on Thursdays through our online store. The order period closes on Tuesdays at 11:59 pm. We’ll offer these until we start to run out of produce!

Wishing you well,

Amelia and the rest of the Two Boots Farm crew

Inspired by Love ‘n Fresh Flowers, this year we’re trying our hand at no-till tulip planting. Traditionally, tulip planting requires digging a long trench in which we plant the bulbs, but using the no-till method, we build a raised bed system, planting the tulip bulbs directly on top of the soil and covering the bed with a thick layer of compost. We’re excited to see the results of this experiment. So far, we know that it certainly feels gentler to our bodies and the Earth!
