native berms and trees
Native and Hügelkultur Berms
Last year we created two berms on the farm. We now have a native berm in the front of the farm which has many native plants, penstemon and blanket flowers. We have a nature hugelkultur berm on the backside of the farm. A nature berm is a raised mound of soil or other material that can be used for landscaping and to create habitat for wildlife. Our berm includes elderberry tree, choke cherries and currant bushes. These berms host beneficial fungi, bacteria, insects, worms, and microbial growth that create nutrients our plants can use. We have created an ecosystem in which the beneficial organisms will thrive.
Pollinator Berm
This year we will be creating a pollinator berm on the farm. This berm will include many native grasses, balsam root, blue flax, asters, bee plants and yarrow and a water feature.
The benefit of creating a pollinator garden isn’t just for the birds and the bees. A healthy population of pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, birds, bats, beetles, and even ants are the backbone of all life – and our food systems. Did you know that pollinators are directly responsible for one-third of all food that humans consume, including everything from fruit and veggies to coffee and chocolate?
Pollinators are considered a keystone species group. The National Geographic Society describes a keystone species as “a plant or animal that plays a unique and crucial role in the way an ecosystem functions. Without keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether.”
Trees
We planted over 100 trees around the perimeter of the farm for a windbreak.
Farming Practices
MICROBE SHACK
We built a microbe shack this Spring!
We have started making a liquid extract from compost that has these beneficial microbes.
This “Mighty Microbe Brew” will help your plants and soil be healthier, too. You can apply it to soil or your compost to re-inoculate microbes into your soil. It is for sale at our farmstand for $6/qt.
Weed Suppression
This year we have started putting cardboard down to make our walking paths in between the vegetable beds. This is fungal food for microbes.
Microbe Nursery
Microbe Nursery
This is a compost where we feed the soil to create microbes.
