Blackbird Farms

Coopersville, Michigan

If I am potting up basil …

… then summer isn’t far away.

#itfigures, the week I send out the farm newsletter telling our members how thankful I am that none of our elderly equipment broke down this year, the #farmtruck up and dies in the Menard's parking lot. It's at the shop now, and we'll know more Monday. But better now than in the middle of the growing season! #igotninetynineproblems #andatwentyyearoldfarmtruckisone

Took advantage of the mild weather today to get my Clark Griswold on. #holidazzle #christmasiscoming #lightthenight

Despite the weather, harvest for tomorrow's #sweetwaterlocalfoodsmarket goes on! Just need to take moment here for some fortification, then back out to finish up! #fourseasonfarming #doingwhatittakes #verygoodvegetables

"I have planted by the stars in defiance of the experts,
and tilled somewhat by incantation and by singing,
and reaped, as I knew, by luck and Heaven's favor,
in spite of the best advice."

• Wendell Berry, "The Contrariness of the Mad Farmer"
