Even on these rainy, stormy, soggy mornings there is plenty of activity on the #farm. The #chickens don’t like it while it is coming down but they seem to enjoy all of the worms that the #rain brings.

The egg drop is going down tomorrow! No it is not the kind where some break but rather the drop off

The egg drop is going down tomorrow! No it is not the kind where some break but rather the drop off where they will be placed gingerly in the refrigerator at the Bethel Lane Farm Stop 4741 E Bethel Lane. All of this careful handling and preparation so that you will have the opportunity to load up on some of the most delicious, healthy, and satisfying protein treats that nature has to offer. Packed full of omega-3’s and little drops of sunshine, your body will be so grateful. Not to mention how your taste buds will react. Pair them with some fresh spinach from @newgroundfarm and you’ve got a 5-star meal. So don’t wait - get yours today (tomorrow if your reading this tonight).

Today our first batch of meat birds arrived. I cleaned out the old hog barn and joined two of the stalls to make the area for the Ohio brooder, which I have started calling mother. It is such a simple yet effective design. The birds can self regulate their temp by darting in and out as they need. And for 125 birds it only uses 2 125W bulbs. The last image is a peek inside - a bird’s eye view if you will.

Picked up a new egg basket today. What’s that saying - size your basket for the eggs you want not the eggs you have. Yeah, I’m sure that’s it.

Going Fungal - Fun events in February!

Our dancecard is so full this month. Hope you’ll tango w/ us at #blacklovedc #rootingdc #capitolcannashow #wildfoodcsa 

Here’s a rundown of where you can find us in February. 

All Month: Know your farmer, know your food 

This Friday, we’re starting a blog series called “Ask a Farmer” where we pick our own brain about the answers to frequently asked questions on food, ecology and social justice. Expect serious reflection on identity, quirky witticisms and our classic amateur expertise. It will be fun! Join us here or on social media at #GSFAAF. Send questions to [email protected] and have your answer featured on our blog. 

There’s still time to signup for theWild Food CSA. February 18th will be the first pickup and we’ll be aiming for a mix of blizzard-proof wild greens, mushrooms, and warming spices. It goes all year but why not start now? Click here for information and signup.

Double Header Weekend: Capitol Canna Show and The Black Love Experience, February 20th

On Saturday, February 20th, we will be performing an act of quantum afro-futurism. 

We will be serving fungal funk in parallel universes. First up is the Capitol Canna Show where we will have new and improved Shiitake Mushroom Kits and our new product, Mycomulch. Previous kit purchasers get a 5% discount on any purchase over $20.  There may also be some day-of surprises. 

We’re really excited about the opportunity to help growers of all types grow better. We will be joined by our partners at Mycosymbiotics,Medicate Better DC, and Hood Hippies blogging and dishing out helpful tips on the symbiotic partnership between fungi and plants. Get your tickets and follow us on the #Mycomulch hashtag. 

THEN, that same evening, we’ll be at the Black Love Experience offering some of our classic warmth to thaw the winter chill. Use the discount link #BLKLVGOODSENSE to register and come by our table for handmade local lotions, salves and balms. The Experience overall will be cocktail party meets craft fair meets concert. Definitely unmissable. 

Much like you, we know that neither blackness nor love are monoliths so we’re really excited to be helping create a space that welcomes all vintages and varieties of black love. Get ready!

Rooting DC - Annual Gardeners Forum February 27th

Rooting DC is something of a yearly tradition around these parts. This year, we’re taking our relationship to the next level and will be presenting 2 workshops called “Building Your Fungal Fortune.”

Building Your Fungal Fortune: Beginner & Intermediate Mushroom Cultivation 

Zachari Curtis, Good Sense Farm & William Padilla-Brown, Mycosymbiotics 

Rm 317 

Take the plunge into the world of mushroom cultivation with Zachari Curtis of Good Sense Farm & William Padilla-Brown of Mycosymbiotcs. Learn basic fungal biology, type of mushrooms you can grow yourself and how, and discover the potential of mushrooms for helping you grow more food, and improve the health of your garden or farm. This is a 1-hour intro to a weekend-long intensive Zachari & William are teaching this spring. This workshop is hands-on. Participants will try several cultivation techniques and leave with a fungi starter kit.

Register for Rooting DC here and find us in the workshop space or at our table!
