Plans are being made
As the buds start to pop out all around us, ideas start popping into my head and seeds start to pile up in corners of my living room. It is almost spring planting season! In this post I am hoping to walk you through the beginnings of the plans I am putting to action.

Before I can plan for what I want, I begin by acknowledging what I have. Over the past three years the food forest has slowly but surely grown into a lovely little oasis. Our current plants list is a beautiful sight.

The above table fills me with joy because these are all established producers that I have successfully grown and am confident about bringing to market. But, as a big fan of stretching beyond my comfort zone, I have also picked up some new plant varieties over the winter that I am currently hoarding in a reusable bag in my living room. This list is small, but exciting!
