Before farming in Montgomery, we called [HOT]lanta home. And, my American family roots are in South Florida. I’m no stranger to a hot girl summer, but this Gump sizzle is…different. 

For many farmers in the South, summer is the off-season. It’s a time for rest and all the other things we have little time for most of the year. It’s also a time when very few living things - people or plants - truly thrive in the intensity. Despite summer challenges, we’re committed to growing year-round because people (including us) need to eat all year. 

Like our scorched sunflower, some of our plants are expressing their discontent with the rising temps. But, many of our crops are POPPIN’ OFF!

Our strategy for the remainder of the summer is to continue tending to the plants that are out here living their best lives (unlike us - LOL!). And, we’ll maintain our practice of returning to the Earth (aka ”composting”) the plants that don’t survive. #rip 

We’ve also gone ALL IN on our indoor farm! This new operation provides a safe (+ cool) space for our baby plants preparing for the (cruel) outside world and enables us to grow some nutritious and delicious goodness with fewer environmental obstacles. I think you’re gonna love our indoor farm as much as we do! #staytuned
