After a lot of hand writing, some blisters, and envelope stuffing… The seeds have been sent out!!
The seeds have been sent out on Monday and Tuesday and folks in the U.S.A. should be getting their seeds by Thursday or Friday of this week and Saturday at the latest. We were so happy with the response we got from all of you and we are very excited to start this journey together. You were so generous with the donations and they really did help us to cover a lot of our costs. Thank you SO much, it was a huge help!
We have posted a video on how to start your Biodynamic Cherry Tomato Seeds. So if you have received your seeds, get em’ in that soil!
Our international growers will get their seeds some time next week and we also encourage you to start your seeds right away! Lets hope that the seeds did not get radiated too much in the x-ray process on the way over seas. Hopefully they will still germinate and they will not be harmed.
Honey Drawing
As for those who did not make the challenge and have signed up for the honey drawing, I wanted to show you the environment of where the honey bees live and the hives in which they make their honey. The garden is bare right now as we are just getting everything prepared for the up coming growing season, so there isn’t that much to look at so far.

Honeybee Hives
We have been working with these bees and harvesting honey from these hives for years now. It started off with just a few bee hives but every few years there has been a bit of an expansion. This past year their has been over 400 lbs of beautiful honey harvested. It is minimally processed and is NEVER pasteurized! When it comes out fresh, this honey is SO dark it is almost black. This means the honey is incredibly pure and tastey. Thank you Honeybees!

Love this contest! I like to use my honey in several ways. In tea, in smoothies and sometimes just straight. As a honey aficionado I am always amazed by the different botanical flavors that flowers give, so its not unusual to see a jar of Peruvian or Manuka in the kitchen with a spoon waiting for me.
