TROUBLE on the Farm!!! Will FLOWERS Save This Market?

This week the Air Conditioner in our walk in cooler broke down, so we have to harvest all our veggies the day before the farmers market. The Employee is back thankfully, but there is also another heat wave and the smoke is still stuck in our valley. The good news is that things look amazing this week, there are lots of flower, we make a gladiolus bouquet featuring Serina's salanova filler, and Ian arranges a bouquet finally under her watchful eye. There are lots of sunflowers harvested, and we also harvest lots of peppers and zucchini, to add to the rainbow of colours featured on our farmers market booth. Truly amazing.

We have just passed our 4 year anniversary of making Youtube videos, hooray! We have made well over 500 videos during the time, some good, others great, but every video feels like it's own individual mountain to climb, especially these longer vlogs. We only get to bask in the relaxing feeling of a job well done for a short period of time before we ask ourselves, "ok but what's the next video?" Keeping that in mind, if you enjoy our content, and understand the message we are trying to broadcast, then we want you to shop locally at your local farmers market. In a capitalist society you create the future with every purchase you make, so build a future that includes a robust local economy of farms, it benefits all of us. We try to show the work that farmers put in behind the scenes, the endless hours and non stop problems that arise for people like us, so that you can understand that the slightly pricier food grown locally has additional value, and those grocery store low prices can have other costs that we might not see immediately. Plus, local food is fresh and tastes great, and farmers make wearing work clothes look good!

Ian and Serina of YOU CANT EAT THE GRASS feel that every small change can make a big difference to the world we live in. Every garden planted leads to a better future. We hope to inspire and motivate others to make positive changes in their lives by sharing our journey towards greater sustainability as we build our family farm. It's hard work to build a life worth living, and completely worth it!
