Alex Zeidner · Farmer's Notes

Pigweed nightmares in the fall carrots. Thanks to a phenomenal crew we got this field cleaned up, for now.

Throughout my day I notice, think about, and realize things that make it nowhere. Not on a blog, a tablet, recording, nothing.

As a personal challenge, I am introducing a mini-series where these blurbs will get jotted down here on Substack. One per day for 30 days.

Now, you might be saying to yourself “How is that possible when it is basically the busiest time of year?” or “Aren’t you supposed to be farming?”. You’re right. It is the busy season, and I need to be farming.

I feel compelled to figure out what keeps me engaged, what keeps me showing up day after day on the farm especially during the most challenging times.

My hope is to find a thru line and gain information for the next chapter while also sharing with you the information that never leaves the field.

Wish me luck Folks.

Pollinators and Perennials- Curious about what pollinators are in our farm? Want to improve the habitat at your home for pollinators?
