We hope everyone had a peaceful holiday season! As major winter storms are affecting so many people right now, we are living by the motto “embrace the cold,” and are actively finding ways to make the brutal winter days enjoyable, or at least bearable!
How We Make the most of winter
GROWING MICROGREENS
Our microgreens farm is a year-round indoor farm. This means we plant, cultivate, and harvest microgreens every week no matter the season. Being able to grow food even in the dead of winter really helps boost our morale and was a huge reason why we wanted to grow them in the first place!
embracing the cold
With all of the animals to feed and chores to take care of, we spend at least 30 minutes outside every single day, no matter the weather! Instead of groaning and complaining about the wind chill (which we’ve done plenty of, trust us!), we have changed our mindset to embrace the cold and it has also really helped make being in the cold more enjoyable. We even go on long walks around the farm when its above 20 degrees- so balmy!
Garden planning
Winter is the ideal time to plan the timeline of and map out our garden. We start seeds as early as February so there is a lot to do in January! Thinking about all the veggies we are going to grow once it warms up gets us excited and keeps us looking forward to longer days.
Practicing "hygge"
We love the Scandinavian concept of “hygge,” the art of being warm, cozy, and content even when it’s freezing cold outside (which is more often than not in those countries!). Whether we’re reading by the fireplace, watching a movie with hot cocoa, or doing yoga with our cat, we find ways to enjoy the longer nights spent indoors.
