FROM ROOTS we RELISH
Our Garden works with the cycles of nature—drawing from the farming practices of the past to support our present and protect our future. We begin by nurturing the soil with composted materials from our kitchens and stables. We sow seeds that have been carefully saved from years past, and we bolster their growth by planting native plants nearby to repel pests and attract pollinators to our crops. The bounty we harvest from the Garden makes its way to your plate, and the scraps from our kitchen are turned into compost to nourish the soil. By letting nature guide our practices and applying lessons passed down from our Appalachian ancestors, we honor the continuous cycle we celebrate on the Farm. We give back to the land that provides for us while maintaining the health of the land for future generations.
Join us in the Garden during the month of August for the full farm-to-table experience. Meet the team behind the incredible ingredients you enjoy at meals, and dive into ripe flavors and seed stories with Master Gardener John Coykendall. Whether you’re looking forward to seeing sunflowers in full bloom or biting into a juicy tomato straight from the vine, the Farm welcomes you to weekly Garden Month fun all month long.
