Presenting Midnight Roma: It’s the purplest paste tomato I’ve ever grown and the most delicious Roma I’ve tasted. Add these beauties to the list of amazing stuff coming out of @row7seeds via @osuagsci.

I love hanging out in the shade and vibing to Myal

I love hanging out in the shade and vibing to Myal-inspired Nyahbinghi with my puppo who licks my face and also smacks me. This human needs serious training on suppressing her laugh when these things happen. Also, visit the link in my bio to buy garlic. #lgd #greatpyrenees #livestockguardiandog #pyreneanmountaindog #farmdog #armpithair

Dear exhausting, extractive (usually white) people

Dear exhausting, extractive (usually white) people,

Please stop inviting yourself to my home for “tours”. I don’t offer them. You will be greeted with skepticism (or hostility, depending on how I feel that day) and turned away. I am in my first season as a farmer, dealing with an incredible amount of hate mail and now surviving domestic violence and chiseling out whatever peace I can find in the world. There are innumerable demands on my time, and entertaining you isn’t my priority. If you bought something, you can make an appointment to pick it up. Otherwise, me no sen’, you no come.

Respectfully,
S-Ann | Farmer and Baker
Bunkhouse Acres

P.S. If I called your behavior racist, meeting you in person won’t change that. The mere suggestion is additional aggression.

P.P.S. Lettuce, tomatoes, chard, caraflex cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, parsley, garlic,
summer squash, potatoes.

🧄 Happy Wednesday! 🧄 to everyone except Dracula. It’s a good day to support small farms, a great day to boost black-led, immigrant-led, woman-led businesses. Bunkhouse Acres is all of the above. #garlic #buygarlic #donatetoday

It’s a perfect day to harvest garlic. This bulb is a porcelain (pretty hardneck) known as Georgian Fire. We will be eating this one fresh in salsa and on bread but the rest will be hanging to dry, and should be ready for market in a month or so. #garlic #georgianfire #porcelain #hardneck #harvest

I love to see what CSA customers end up creating with our produce. Thank you, Becky, for the kind words and for allowing me to feed you this season.

“Hi Shellie-Ann! I just wanted to thank you for the AMAZING food & show you the garlic scape pizza I made tonight (browned the scapes in butter first) They are SO GOOD!! This is a great example of a vegetable I never would have bought at the store but has now broadened our culinary horizons! Thank you again 💚”

Big meal on a tiny plate. Cornbread, smoked chicken with black garlic, fennel and red pepper flakes, snow pea slaw with the experimental pea mix from @row7seeds, watermelon salad with feta, mint and balsamic drizzle, baked beans from a @seattletimes archive recipe that my husband’s mother used to make- scotch bonnet added because I am Jamaican, shallots added because I grew them, roasted radishes and brisket from @beyondorganicfarmwa. I smoked it for 12 hours. We had Jamaican coconut drops for dessert.

I’ve been out of it these last few weeks but I’m talking myself into doing the things I enjoy most, like feeding people food grown and prepared with my own hands. Thank you for your presence, for being a witness to my journey though this world, for embracing me as a whole human and not just a smiling farmer. Have a wonderful week.

We are assembling your shares for delivery today.

We are assembling your shares for delivery today. Unfortunately, due to the extreme temperatures the Napa cabbage has started bolting. I tried one head out in a stew a couple nights ago and it was still quite flavorful, and the leaves still tender and sweet when uncooked. Just remove the flower head from the center and use as you usually would.

Thank you for letting me feed you this summer.

The potager has been abandoned for larger fields but Jack found some herbs in there to harvest. We transplanted some perennials into the bare ground so that’s what this is going to be in the years to come.
