Bay Branch Farm

25 things before you plant a seed.

We upgraded our greenhouse tables this week. While I was cutting and building, I kept thinking about something another farmer said — there's always 25 things you gotta do before a single seed goes in the soil

That's muda. talks about this — waste your customer never sees or cares about. Nobody buying a bag of our lettuce cares if my bench is nice. So how do I do fewer of those 25 things?

Side note: we're working to reduce plastic on the farm (inspired by Clay Bottom), but our old wooden tables were crap. Unfortunately sometimes the less-waste move is the plastic one. All the frame materials were reused recycled — only the tops are new.

This spinach isn't going to plant itself. Though the paper pot transplanter makes it pretty easy. Grateful for some warm days to be able to get this in the ground!

Join us for the last craft event of the season! We'll make wreaths with most materials harvested from the farm. Event will be outside under cover so dress accordingly. Hope to see you there!
