Every farmer has a story, this is the beginning of mine #ad  

I’m proud to partner with @heiferinternational for their She Has a Story to Tell campaign to celebrate the International Year of the Woman Farmer! highlighting women farmers around the world & the impact they’re making in their communities

This year I built a 1/8-acre market garden & made my 1st sale! A contract with a food bank here in King County, Washington, where I’m born & raised. 

Being able to feed people in my community is really special💚

I’ve also been incredibly lucky to learn from so many talented women farmers along the way. Their stories deserve to be heard! Visit @heiferinternational website to learn more & please support the women farmers in your local community👩🏽‍🌾

You don’t need to own land to grow your own food & flowers & build your dream garden. I built this 1/8 of an acre garden this season & a lot of you comment & DM asking “how do I start a garden like yours?!” 

The 3 options I looked into:

1. Farm incubator programs. That’s the program I’m in now with a non-profit organization helping BIPOC land stewards like me obtain land access
2. Community gardens. If the farm incubator program didn’t work out for me I’d most likely be growing in a community garden. This is a great way to meet other gardeners in your community!
3. Growing your garden in a friend/family member/neighbors yard. I posted in my local gardening FB group asking if anyone had space in their yard for me to garden in. I surprinsingly received a lot of interest & even toured a few of their yards! 

Since I was accepted into this farm incubator the other options weren’t the right fit but it’s great to know those are options for me in the future in case my time on this farm comes to an end. 

These are creative ways to garden without owning land! Grocery stores are full of expensive produce & flowers that are riddled with pesticides that make us SICK. Learn how to grow your own food & flowers it will change your life

People have been telling me “you’re so lucky you have this garden.” I built this 1/8 of an acre vegetable & flower garden in 3 months on this farm. It might be luck, but what a lot of people don’t see is it’s A LOT of hard work. Hard work & consistency is how I’ve been able to build this abundant 1/8 of an acre garden this season

Remember social media is a HIGHLIGHT REEL. Here are the things you didn’t see for me to get here:
-The 2 seasons I grew in containers in my tiny 20 sq ft balcony garden & failed so much 
-The 9 months I worked in 2 plant nurseries & stopped posting on social media for a year to focus on learning how to grow plants from seed
-The amount of hours I’ve spent watching gardening videos & reading gardening books
-The amount of time I’ve volunteered on farms & have had conversations with local farmers on how to do this
-The 3 community gardens I toured, the 3 neighbors yards I toured, & the 2 farm incubator programs I applied to
-The application & business plan that I wrote & the interview process I went through to obtain this 1/8 of an acre & getting accepted into this farm incubator program
-The pain in my back, legs, wrist, hands, neck from the constant tending to the garden
-The literal blood sweat & tears that it’s taken me to build out this garden in just 3 months 
-The years of journaling & vision boards of my dream garden 

For those of you who want to grow your own food & flowers & start your dream garden YES it is possible. Even without owning land, I don’t own this land I’m growing on!!! But I don’t think it takes luck. In my experience it’s taken years of focus, hands on learning & experience, finding the opportunities to get me here, & most importantly HARD WORK🌱this doesn’t happen over night this takes years of experience. If you start now, you could be growing your dream garden in 2 years time like me💚

Raise your hand if the August garden is getting to you🙋🏽‍♀️🫠it’s a time of year where the garden is so abundant it’s overwhelming! I’m so grateful for the endless flowers & food but I’m also TIRED sweaty smelly & sore in places I don’t know existed. I also think it’s bc I’ve built this 1/8 of an acre garden in 3 months so ur girl is a bit burnt out🥵

The summer garden provides so much & im so lucky!!! But this is a safe space… let’s be real the summer garden can be really hard & we need to talk about it. It’s not always sunshine & flowers. There are really long days out here harvesting, watering, weeding, planting. In my opinion August is the hardest month in the garden even tho it is the most beautiful. We’re trying to harvest crops before they go to seed, processing the harvesting + trying to succession plant for the fall garden🫩

but don’t get me wrong it’s all worth it start the garden!! I’ll look back in a few months when I’m working out here in the cold rain & wish for these august days back💚working with the seasons is such a beautiful thing. I am looking forward to the fall garden she’s my fav season to be out here
