Two Hills Farm

Big day today! New cultivator attachment helped us get the dahlia patch in shape. I wound up weeding all of the rows, and didn’t have to lift the t posts - was able to work the soil into nice flat beds rather than the jagged clay mess the were after last season’s dahlia dig. This would have taken twice the time and back breaking work to hand cultivate w the stirrup how and a rake. After Dave walked me through it, I was able to complete the project all on my own- which frees Dave up to get some other big tasks accomplished.
I think I’ll with buckwheat until we are ready to go in w dahlias! Lmk if you have any experience w buckwheat as a cover crop!

We got this! We are big and brave and not scared of the ground choosing to be different heights at random times!

Third round of seed sowing today! Got sweet peas and three trays of Lisianthus sown today!! These girlies need that sweet ! Dave made the best Old Fashioned this evening and I have started re-listening to Throne of Glass. Despite the drop ceiling being removed in our basement (aka seedling land and flower studio)- ty to Dave’s parents for their amazing work- the show must go on! Excited for all of the new season possibilities.

We are booking up for spring events!! Feeling grateful to be a part of your special moments and everything in between!

This has been the perfect January project we have been dreaming of since we moved in. The previous owners had made this makeshift shelter for an outdoor dog (we unearthed NUMEROUS ancient Kongs and balls and dog blankets like archeologists) in a fenced in area. (Hacked together welded wire that worked for them and that is wonderful, we honor the work they did w their animals… but we had other hopes for this area).

The rotted roofs (there was a tin roof added to on top of a rotted shingle roof) of this two-walled structure completely rotted the old fence boards they’d stored there… we grabbed what we could. Ultimately, the ground hogs have been served their eviction notice. Bye bye!! 👋👋 The chickens are going to enjoy their view of the pond!!!

My favorite time of year!!!

Join me from 12-1pm this Saturday 12/6. 🎁🎄🎁🎄

Come sip some hot chocolate and make your own hand spun wreath. I make the wreath forms here on the farm from our very old kiwi vine. We will assemble together and then decorate using various accouterments including dried oranges, dried flowers from our past season (and any extra decor you may find at the market that day!) You deserve to take some time for yourself and find your creative zen this holiday season!

Head over to to book your spot before they’re gone!

See you there!
