Harvest Sale

“It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.” ~B. C. Forbes

Sometimes, it’s tempting to feel like you’re fighting a losing battle, like the forces of destruction are too dangerous, too engrained, too formidable. Challenges abound. Things you previously thought were good plants grow up and produce nasty fruit, and the wind, rain, and insects relentlessly batter the plants you actually want to grow.

But do not give up.

In the dead of summer, when weeds are overtaking the garden and you’re just about to throw the towel AT the tomato plants, that’s the time when you cannot give up the most.

Because he who plants seeds and labors will eventually receive an increase.

Especially in the garden.

If you keep going just a little longer, you will harvest something, and oh, what a sweet something it will be!

Most summers, that means you wake up one morning and visit the garden, only to return with your first small handful of fresh produce. And before you know it, it becomes a steady stream of yummy produce, filling up your countertops, kitchen table, and pantry. You blink, and suddenly, there’s the harvest. Ready and waiting for you. It might not look exactly like what you’d planned, but it’s still a bountiful harvest from God, and for it, you’re truly thankful.

As we begin the peak of harvest season, celebrate with us by joining our annual Harvest Sale!

We’re discounting products that will help you harvest your produce, preserve homegrown goodies for the winter, and plant seeds of hope for the future, even if it’s been a rough season for you this year. Do not give up. Enjoy the fruits of your labors, and make plans to plant more seeds next year.

Get fresh root cuttings or comfrey crowns sourced from the comfrey growing on our homestead! These live root cuttings are pieces of the root that will sprout and grow into a plant, while the root crowns grow to maturity more quickly. Comfrey is an incredibly versatile plant on the homestead – commonly used as animal feed, natural fertilizer source, medicinal herb, and more.

Stock up on canning lids & spices, so you’ll sure have enough to preserve your harvest as it comes in!

To help make planning that garden easy, I’ve created a FREE Fall Planting Calculator that will help you determine exactly which crops you can still plant and what the latest date is that you can plant them and still enjoy a harvest before fall sets in and it’s too cold. Plus, there’s a section that shows you how much extra time you get if you’re using a season extension method like a greenhouse or frost protection like mini-hoops and row covers. 

Fall gardening isn’t like any other kind of gardening. This blog series and video training covers all of the details fall gardeners need to know, including soil, location, and space considerations, laying out a new fall garden, calculating important dates, using season extension, and more.
