A few things in the field.

Yesterday we prepared for hurricane Isaias’ arrival. We shored up the place, the tunnel/hoop house, bee hives, picked up anything that could puncture or break anything. Thankfully the storm passed by without much of a stir. The rain was welcomed and ducks thoroughly enjoyed running around in it. #hurricane #storm #rain #rainyday #stormyweather #hoophouse #hightunnel #hightunnelgrowing #seasonalhightunnel #beehives #bees #farmlife #farmliving #rural #rurallife #ruralamerica #ruralliving #growyourownfood #growfood #localfood #smallfarm #smallfarms #familyfarm #familyfarming #safety #agriculture #gullahgeechee #farmers (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDc8GFylKCV/?igshid=1t30zp9mj100p

Out and about on the property today and took a few photos of jobs going on, feeding the goats while weeding in the tunnel, noticed a caterpillar, and finding strawberries from last year’s patch. Gathered some runners for future strawberry plants. The tunnel is looking tons better and better. #goats #goatsofinstagram #catepillar #sclowcountry #strawberries #strawberryplants #weeding #tunnels #farmtunnel #hoophouse #seasonalhightunnel #farm #farming #farmlife #veteranfarmer #rural #rurallife #ruralphotography #ruralamerica #ruralliving #plants #fruit #womenwhofarm #gardens #landscape #gullahgeechee #islandlife #naturephotography #healthyfood #growfood (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9BK2UFg4S4/?igshid=19wk9ghpdi9u

Saturday we were blessed to be presenters at a workshop offered by SCF-Organic a network of farmers in the Sumter, SC area led by The Mustafa family. We’ve attended the quarterly workshops several times and have been presenters now twice. We have learned much from the keynote speakers and enjoyed lovely fellowship and encouragement from the group. Our presentation featured agricultural practices we use here on the farm to include @usda_nrcs programs. We were able to share about our #seasonalhightunnel , #dripirrigation , #pollinatormeadow, #beekeeping , #poultry , #pasturedpoultry, and #marketing for #smallfarms . Dr. Roy Hollingsworth was the keynote, one we’ve learned so much from, he is a skilled teacher and mentor. We are grateful for the opportunity to share and learn more while attending the workshop. We were also treated to a delicious meal. Thank you to the Mustafa family and their organic farm! #farmer #farmfamily #homesteadfarm #marketingstrategy #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurgoals #farming #farm #farmersmarket #farmersofinstagram #farmlife #farminglife #veteranfarmer #veteran #farmerveterancoalition #foodie #foodways #healthyfood #foodfood #goodfood #southernfoodways #meal #southernmeal #instruction #training #workshop #workshoppresenter #usda #usdaprogram (at Catchall Community Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0fSl6Ngm-W/?igshid=1xdi4zag7g7o9

August 21, 2017 was an eventful day on the homestead, because it was the first day of the work to put up the seasonal high tunnel in our field. Special thanks to the crew that came out to help and all the work that was done. Phase one is completed. #seasonalhightunnel #hoophouse #nrcseqip #usda #farmextensionagents #farmliving #ruralphotography #rurallife #farmwork #gullahgeechee #gullahfarmer #veteranfarmer #beaufortcountysc (at Saint Helena Island)
