Third Times A Charm
We have postponed starting our urban farm for 3 seasons, each time seemingly reasonable. This year I realized it was a fear of failure. Both Justin and I are recovering from perfectionism, and hate not being experts. But here is the truth as told to me by every farmer and book about farming...There will be failure! It’s how you recover. It’s how you prepare in times of prosperity. It’s the community you surround yourself with. It’s what you do for that community.
A bonus of starting this season is our children are now at a helpful age and we have intertwined building a farm into our homeschool curriculum. They are a part of the planning, budgeting and physical labor.
We also have an amazing local and online farm community. I literally couldn’t do this without their mentorship and support.
Lastly I am passionate about food security and strengthening local food systems.
So here we go… for real this time!👩🏿🌾💛✨✨✨
