Highland Orchards Farm Market

The snow is still melting and I already feel 2 weeks behind. We keep growing so that every person in our community can eat. #farmlife #familyfarm #gardening

I hardly recognize the world, but I still recognize the courage and resilience of our community. Thank you for all that you do to resist fascism and authoritarianism. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #familyfarm #farmlife

We have found fennel to be excellent at repelling pests and it does not have any negative effect on the growth of other plants that we can see or measure.

The news can paralyze us or propel us forward. We keep growing because our community deserves to be able to eat. Thank you for supporting small businesses; choices matter. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #familyfarm #garden

Practice brings improvement It took me a few years as a new farmer to grasp a fundamental truth: planting once is not enough.

When you harvest Herbs, channel your inner French revolution! Yes, cut hard, and the Herbs regrow. Thank you for supporting small business businesses; your choices matter. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #familyfarm #garden

Crystallized honey is not spoiled and you can use it just as is. Some people prefer it because then it is not dripping from the spoon. If you like honey in its liquid form, then just keep it at 60° F or warmer. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #honey #familyfarm #delaware

Anxious to start tomatoes? Timing is everything. Plan for the summer while we pay attention now. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. Hmmm, applies to 🧊 as well as Epstein. #farmlife #familyfarm #garden

Succession planting is a hard won skill. It sounds easy, but it takes planning and scheduling to make sure that you start seeds at the right time. Practice brings improvement. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #familyfarm #winter

Photo of Snow covered parking lot and trees outlined in snow. Caption reads snow day for the farm market, closed Monday, February 23. Stay safe, stay warm another possible snowstorm on Wednesday. If you are picking up a CSA at the market, you can pick up on Tuesday or Wednesday. Clearly, I am not in charge of the weather.

Snow day for the Farm market, Monday, February 23. Closed for cleaning out! Back Tuesday.

If you are supposed to pick up a CSA share on Tuesday, it’s OK to come on Wednesday or Thursday. Another possible storm on Wednesday… Clearly, I am not in charge of the weather.

Flowers in real time…as we brace for a major snowstorm. Thank you for supporting local Farms; we appreciate you very much. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #flowers #farmlife #familyfarm

Reminder to take care of yourself and your community as best you can. No 🧊. Believe the survivors, prosecute the predators (that’s not only in the UK, is it?). #farmlife #familyfarm #health

Our farm market is not just a place where you can buy what we are growing, but also a place where you can meet your neighbors. Building community however we can! No ice, no ICE. #farmlife #familyfarm

Hello!

Take a moment to restore your energy, and then let’s get back there and fight for our democracy. No ICE. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. #farmlife #familyfarm #winter

Democracy, like a farm, is a living system "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst." Angela Carter wrote it in Wise Children, and Maya Angelou, Lee Child, Denis Waitley, and Rob Thurman all echoed it in their own way.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Isn’t it great that we made it to February 14, even though it feels like it’s been 936 days this year? Take care of yourself as we weighed through the muck of the Epstein files. We keep growing for our community. #farmlife #community #familyfarm

Grateful for plants which give us a respite for a horrific images and texts from the Epstein files. Believe the survivors; prosecute the predators. We keep on growing. #farmlife #familyfarm #winter

Rows of Young lettuce and baby bok choy, which reminded me of the young girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, and all those he invited to his properties. If you are not enraged by what we have learned from the Epstein files, then you are not angry enough. Believe the survivors, prosecute ALL the perpetrators.

Epstein files. If you are not enraged by what you have read so far, you are not angry enough. Believe the survivors, prosecute ALL the perpetrators. And yes, I rage while I grow. #farmlife

I find it fascinating that TikTok banned the music on this video, saying that the lyrics are unacceptable. First, no lyrics are sung. Second, this type of censorship?

Resilience is what’s needed to overcome setbacks. May we all be as resilient as the people protesting ICE. Remember who is in the Epstein files; time to prosecute. #farmlife #familyfarm #winter

“Plan for the worst, hope for the best,” means that we plan for the heat to fail on the coldest night of the year. Which it did. Cold hardy plants to the rescue. No ice, no ICE. Epstein files. #farmlife #familyfarm #winter

Ice is very damaging. We have learned to work around, repair , and keep on growing. No ice, no ICE. Remember who is in the Epstein files. #farmlife #familyfarm #wintergrowing

Why is the door open? To help moderate temperature, even on a cold day. No ice, no iCE. Remember who is in the Epstein files. #farmlife #familyfarm #wintergrowing

We need resilience: don’t give up Resilience is a skill that we have to develop.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday & Bad Bunny Concert Day to all who celebrate. No ice, no ICE. Remember, who is in the Epstein files. In the meantime, we keep on growing.

Gorgeous! I’m ready for dahlia weather!

The Obamas have always shown themselves to be kind, compassionate people of integrity and honesty, compared to the poster/grifter. Do not be distracted from the Epstein files! In the meantime, we keep on growing.

Yes, we need to. The Epstein files didn’t do it? At least something did.
