Farm Happenings at Sungrounded Farm
Fusion Food and an Early Frost
We officially got our first light frost on the farm a couple nights ago. This season has been truly unforgiving with it's temperature swing, but it's also very typical of our location. The local food scene is growing here in Central Oregon, but there's a reason veggies are traditionally1 read more »
Onion Harvest
Today Caleb and I (Ashley) harvested the first of our onions to cure and dry. We're very happy about this, as last year our onions were not mature in time to cure well and we struggled to get them to dry well in cool weather with fans. This year our red onion plants' leaves have already1 read more »
Central Oregon Strawberry Season is Upon us
We're so excited to finally have strawberry plants producing well on the farm and plan on sharing them with you often! If it seems late for 'strawberry season', it is, but not so much in the high dessert. Due to late frosts followed by sudden heat spells, outdoor strawberries take a whi1 read more »
Bug Control

This week we're featuring a fun extra of lovely and local Sunflower bouquets1 read more »
Long Awaited Garlic is Almost Here!
We're so excited to tell you that this year's garlic saga is nearly complete. Garlic is our longest-in-the-ground field crop, as we put cloves in the ground in October. Garlic is one of the few crops we make the effort to save seed for, since there's no cross pollination to worry about1 read more »
Flowers on the Farm
A couple weeks ago I mentioned our insectary plantings, so I wanted to share a photo, as they're looking great right now with Lacy Phacelia in full flower and others like California Poppies, Bachelor's Buttons, Sweet Alyssum and Birdsfoot Trefoil just beginning.
We plant flowers around the farm not1 read more »
The stir-fry box
While arguably any box of veggies could be made into a stir-fry, this one is particularly delicious.
We've entered the point in the season on the farm that most of our meals seem to be a pile of vegetables. This happens:
1. Because we're extremely busy this time of year and forget to think ab1 read more »
