We love our farm critters! We carefully marked several turtle nests while prepping the field this spring! Finally, some babies are hatching! Here, our first baby turtle, Oliver, making his way to the nearby Mill Brook! Good luck little guy!

We not only grow organic vegetables to donate to @opentablema we also work very hard to help OTHERS grow food for their local food pantries! Getting ready to send a few hundred, cold-hardy veggie seedlings that will grow well into our New England fall to Growing Resilience, a grassroots community gardening effort that utilizes some @bostonschools school gardens to grow food during the COVID pandemic! One of our board members helped push that effort through to become a reality and we are so proud to continue to support the efforts of Growing Resilience in @Boston

Fall crops are being seeded everywhere we can find/make bare ground, as our late-planted summer crops are finally starting to come on strong!

We are busy at work seeding in fall crops amongst our vibrantly growing summer crops! Second picture shows a late seeding of cucumbers just getting ready for trellising. Just outside of the cukes, we seeded a 60' row of Sugar Snap peas! We love interplanting and succession planting. As we grow from the 10,000sf space we are tending now, into the rest of the field, we will continue to push the creative envelope to maximize production! Stay tuned as we bring you along our journey, cover cropping and soil prep still to come! The field is approzimately 1.5 acres and has been worked hard, without much respite, for about a decade. Ultimately, we will rotate production and keep 1/2 acre in a succession of cover crops at all times to give the land a break and build healthier soils!

We are so thrilled to deliver our first harvest fr

Some delicious produce coming along in the Food Pa

Some delicious produce coming along in the Food Pantry plot we tend for @medwaycommunityfarm ! We are harvesting already, seems like we just started yesterday! This plot is much smaller than our main farm field in Wayland, so we have gotten creative with inter planting various crops together such as beets under planted with our snap peas!

Our main site in Wayland is coming along nicely too! First harvest there is right around the corner! It's all coming together and really happening!!! #growfood

The field is bursting with food! Tomatoes starting to ripen, potatoes poking out of the ground, lettuce ready for harvest and baby cabbages begin to head! We'll be making our first harvest soon from our main production field in Wayland!

We've come so far in not such a long time! Here is an early spring view of Aurelia's Garden, Inc., home garden base in Wayland, MA! The winter rye was just prouting as we were taking the steps to germinate ourselves into our newly formed organization!
Here, with an entirely volunteer workforce, on this generous acre, we will grow food for area food pantries. Stay tuned as we share the trials, the triumphs, the harvests and wonderful, passionate and dedicated people that will make this all happen!

On bended knee we gather and garden
We farm
Together through isolation
we grow
Food for our community
Community for our hearts and souls
The #socialdistanceselfie was born as we broke ground @medwaycommunityfarm
Where week by week, row by row, we compost, lay irrigation and mulch and plant, crop by crop, seed by seed they sprout.

This week we broke ground on our mother site, a secluded 1 acre field, bordering conservation land, in Wayland MA. #aureliasgarden is born!
The road is rough and unpaved, towing wagons we trudge, together, we plan and implement!

Stay tuned, our #foodpantry garden has only just begun to #sprout and #grow
