Hey friends! If you're like me and facebook/instagram are kind of sucking your soul, and you want a space to dig deeper (and where attention spans are longer than 15 seconds)... join me over on substack! https://eatlikeafarmer.substack.com/

I've started a weekly newsletter over there called 'Eat Like a Farmer' - filled with behind the scenes stories from our farm, practical gardening lessons, and straightforward seasonal recipes – all with the goal of helping folks learn to grow, cook, and eat like a farmer.*

*side note that sometimes "eating like a farmer" means cooking a frozen pizza and eating while standing up, and that’s totally cool too. 😜

Even if gardening and/or cooking aren’t your *vibe*, but you enjoy living vicariously through stories about life on a vegetable farm, then come on over to my proverbial front porch and watch all the ruckus unfold.

Stories from our farm, plus garden tutorials & recipes to grow, cook, and eat like a farmer. Click to read Eat Like a Farmer, by Michelle Aronson, a Substack publication with thousands of readers.

Sawyer and I are WILDLY excited to announce the first Farmbelly workshop of 2022 (and the first event at the farm in over 2 years)... join me for a fun and hands-on *Growing & Cooking with Herbs* workshop here on Saturday, May 14th @ 2-4pm! https://www.farmbelly.com/2022-workshops/growing-cooking-with-herbs

This workshop will dig into EVERYTHING you need to know about growing, harvesting, storing, prepping, and cooking with fragrant & fabulous herbs. We'll explore herb-filled recipes, techniques, and tips for cooking with a wide range of herbs, as well as how to grow, maintain, and harvest a thriving herb garden at home. This outdoor workshop will be part demonstration and part hands-on, and everyone will get to pot up their own herb to take home. Also included in the workshop is a full walking tour of our farm, and lots of delicious herb-filled dishes to sample and enjoy.

All of our workshops at the farm are kept small (max 10-12 people) and only a few spots are left! More info + tickets here: https://www.farmbelly.com/2022-workshops/growing-cooking-with-herbs 🌱

PS - many more workshops and tours here at the farm coming soon, stay tuned!

✨ RESTOCKED... again! ✨ Alright y'all, this is most likely the *last* batch of Heal-All Herbal Salves that will be available in 2021, so go stock up! https://www.farmbelly.com/farmshop/healingsalve

This magical salve is made from organic coconut + olive oil infused with medicinal plants grown right on our farm (calendula, comfrey, and plantain). The infused oil is then gently blended with local beeswax and fortified with Vitamin E and organic essential oils (tea tree, lavender, and frankincense). Each batch is hand-made in tiny quantities to ensure the highest quality.

This salve has transformed my skincare routine – it's amazing for moisturizing dry skin and for soothing cuts, scrapes, burns, rashes, etc. I even slather it on my face every morning + night, and it makes me feel like a damn queen. 👑

*Note that shipping is available across the US, or locals can pick up here at the farm for free (select your shipping/pick up preference at check out).

Each ingredient in this salve has been thoughtfully chosen for its healing properties, creating a natural product that will truly nourish your skin – perfect for moisturizing dry skin or for soothing cuts, scrapes, burns, or rashes! I love using this salve on my hands and face on a daily basis. Th
