homegrown.

Grown fresh from the dirt at our one hundred fifty year old farm
Oak Grove Farm. 
Blooming and alive from hours of devout tending every single day. 
The labor of love, the vision and livelihood of a thirty year old renaissance man and product of the same land.  
{who happens to be my big fat snotty ankle tripping ear thumping brother}

Grown naturally, organically and void of enhancements to be bigger or better. 
We walk the rows and pick a few arugula leaves & little green peas, green tomatoes and eat them all fresh from the plant.
Dust off the dirt and eat it like it's fruit; juicy, fresh, full of flavor. 
Mama and them eat from the garden nearly every night. It takes home cookin to a new level
...and I'm mighty jealous.

In year one of this garden that took off on a wing and a prayer; a mere first year experiment....
Josh already has his own CSA {community supported agriculture} to which he delivers weekly, in midtown and downtown Atlanta. 
Oak Grove Farm graces markets in the big city every weekend where the city ladies 
love him. 
He has regulars that come back see to him every week; for his veggies and more likely for his 
sweet spirit. 
The darn perfect display of burlap, chalkboards and mama's old baskets makes my heart leap

...and it's only going to get better. 
With new sets of working hands, the fall greens coming in and the spring crop planned and planted. 
He keeps this farm working. 
Keeping the land up, raising and selling naturally grown vegetables, grassfed beef and farm fresh eggs, too.  

If you're lucky enough to have local farmers near where you live, do yourselves a favor and purchase their products. 

Take your kids a let them see where their food is grown. 

 

Farmers have been a dying breed, but I feel like they are making a come back...
{farmers of our generation, believe it or not!}

...thanks to a spreading mentality and lifestyle devoted to better health and simpler living. 

Be proud, join the crowd and take advantage of the land.  

Listen to the land, spend a little time with your favorite farmer and I bet you'll appreciate 

what they both have to say....
