Our farm has wild muscadines growing all over! We will be busy picking them now that they are nice and ripe. Im daydreaming of muscadine jelly on sourdough biscuits 😍

This garden bed of baby tomatoes and okra is doing great! I thought the volunteer plant was watermelon but now I'm thinking it may be a squash plant. The aphids were attacking my okra but a spray bottle of water with a splash of dish soap took care of them. Tomatoes are everywhere!

Daisy is having fun playing on the new goat playground! She has become a good companion and mother figure to Darcy. Daisy is almost 2 years old so we hope to breed her next season.

The passionflower vine is a host plant for the Gulf Fritillary Butterfly. As a homeschooling project, we collected caterpillars from the vines, put them in a jar and fed them fresh passionflower leaves everyday. We watched them become chrysalisses and eventually emerge. We held them until they were ready to fly off. It was a magical experience! We have also spotted many chrysalisses on the vines. Our farm is filled with these beautiful butterflies. 🦋 😍 This variety doesn't fruit but we plan to get some that does.

What is a sourdough starter? A sourdough starter is a living culture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria that is developed from fermented flour and water. It can be kept on the counter and fed flour and water daily or kept in the fridge and fed weekly. A few hours after feeding, it will bubble and double or triple in size. When this happens, the yeasts and bacterias are at their peak and your starter is ready for baking. Sourdough is the ancient way of bread-making but has only recently made a comeback in 2020. A sourdough starter replaces any need for instant yeast and leaves you self sufficient for making bread if you have just water, flour, and salt. Live sourdough starter with instructions is available for pickup in Astor, FL for $5 and dried starter will be available for shipping soon!

We did our first round of Deerberry picking today! Deerberries are in the same family as blueberries and huckleberries but they are typically more tart which make for a flavorful jelly. These grow wild in our farm's natural food forest. We may have started picking a bit too late because the deer have already devoured a ton. There's still plenty of unripe ones on the bushes though. We hope to get enough this year for deerberry jelly!

One of the things I enjoy most about our farm is all the colorful eggs! Our flock consists of Red Stars (light brown eggs), Olive Eggers (green eggs), and a Cream Legbar (blue eggs). We have also added some young French Cuckoo Marans who will soon begin laying dark copper colored eggs (hopefully 🤭).

Nothing beats warm sourdough, olive oil, and fresh herbs from the garden. African Blue Basil is my favorite herb right now. It's a perennial that can survive neglect or droughts and has beautiful purple flowers that the pollinators LOVE. I will be doing a whole post on this basil soon 🌿 our Original Sourdough loaf is $10 and pickup is in Astor, FL
