Farm Journal

What we are working on.

Short updates from the farm, aquaponics systems, seasonal planting and paddock-to-flask projects.

Strawberries
Spring 2026

Planting the strawberry beds

Preparing the beds, spacing the plants and getting irrigation ready for a productive first season.

Citrus peel
Spring 2026

Saving citrus peel

Mandarin, orange and grapefruit peel is being saved for future distilling and recipe experiments rather than being wasted.

Pumpkin seedling
Spring 2026

Pumpkin planting begins

Warm-season crops are moving into the plan as soil temperatures rise and the garden moves out of winter.

Aquaponics hothouse
Project update

Aquaponics hothouse

The next stage brings together protected growing, hydronic heating and new aquaponics systems for more reliable year-round production.
