Farm Happenings at Ecosystem Farm
Growings On 6/10/20
Over the weekend we spent several hours collecting microbes and feeding them.
Why?
The organisms in soil are the key to how I can farm the way I do - plants depend on those fungi, bacteria, nematodes, flagellates, cilliates and microarthropods to get the nutrients they need. When a plant has1 read more »
Welcome!
Welcome to the CSA for Ecosystem Farm at Wrecking Barn!
I'm so glad you've chosen to join us!
My name is Kirsten, and I started farming almost four years ago on the Mennonite Church property in East Atlanta. I pride myself on growing without any pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or chemical fertil1 read more »

As an update to last week's opportunity to purchase a farm... I still don't know what's happening. I probably won't get to purchase the property. But I have figured out that I really have no bad options. And that's a huge relief.
I asked a farm consultant to poke holes in my numbers, and she came b1 read more »

Remember how last week I was talking about land tenure and not having the security to know that I'll be able to harvest the crops I put in the ground?

This is Luna. She's a Great Pyrenees, and she spends most of her time living with the chickens to protect them from predators.
She's also a giant love bug and goof who sneaks up onto my bed when I bring her home for a night off. I don't normally let dogs stay on the bed, but tonight I am sore from1 read more »

The new chickens have arrived! These girls are a year old and just coming out of molt. They're from a confinement operation in North Georgia, which wasn't my first choice, but they were available and already laying, and the looks on their faces when we opened the back of the u-haul and starte1 read more »

Now that it's getting warmer, we're getting flushes of king stropharia mushrooms in the strawberry fields. The visible mushroom is actually the smallest part of the fungus - it emerges when the mycelium under the surface are running out of food. The mushroom fruit releases spawn, which float to a n1 read more »

Welcome back to the farm!
I can't tell you how much I've missed being able to send out these weekly updates. Especially with everything that's been happening recently, it's more important than ever to know where your food comes from, and for me as a farmer to know my customers. Generally spea1 read more »
About the farm
I farm because I believe that feeding someone is the most fundamental way to make an impact in the world. We are what we eat, and I do my best to make sure that I’m growing nutrient rich food that tastes amazing and powers my people to live their best lives.
