Did you know we are growing sesame? On Friday, our Did you know we are growing sesame? On Friday, our volunteers were treated to a garden tour by @hannah_traggis to see some of the unusual crops and flowers that are hiding in our field: #sesame, #burgundyamaranth, #loveliesbleeding, #celosiaflamingo, #gomphrena, #chinaaster, and several varieties of heirloom pumpkins! #flamingocelosia #amaranth #sesameseedpods #aureliasgarden #microfarm #allvolunteers #supportlocalfoodbanks #waylandMA #mastergardeners #womenwhofarm #donations #foodinsecurity #garden #gardening #microfarming #vegetablegarden #vegetables #waylandgarden #zone6garden
Two hardy-souled volunteers ventured out to harves Two hardy-souled volunteers ventured out to harvest another 190 pounds of tomatoes in the drenching rain this past Thursday for donation to @opentablema. It was critical to harvest them before the rain subsided and the heat resumed, as many of the tomatoes would likely split if we waited! #aureliasgarden #microfarm #allvolunteers #supportlocalfoodbanks #waylandMA #mastergardeners #womenwhofarm #donations #foodinsecurity #garden #gardening #microfarming #vegetablegarden #vegetables #waylandgarden #zone6garden
Access to locally grown, heirloom quality, vine ri Access to locally grown, heirloom quality, vine ripened tomatoes is a luxury - an expensive one. Tomatoes like these are often only available at high end specialty grocery stores or farmer's markets where prices can top out at $7/lb. That price is inaccessible for so many people. Our harvest last Thursday contained at least 80lbs of tomatoes and it was the first tomato harvest of the season. For the next 5-6 weeks, we can expect to send well over 100lbs of tomatoes to the food pantry each week - likely well more than that! #aureliasgarden #microfarm #allvolunteers #supportlocalfoodbanks #waylandMA #mastergardeners #womenwhofarm #donations #foodinsecurity #garden #gardening #microfarming #vegetablegarden #vegetables #waylandgarden #zone6garden
Our gardens are thriving with abundance amidst thi Our gardens are thriving with abundance amidst this week's heat after last week's rain. Yesterday, we donated our record high harvest of 350 lbs of vegetables grown at Patterson's field in Wayland to @opentablema in Maynard. So far this year, our total harvest from both Medway and Wayland is over 1700 lbs, and we're just getting started! #aureliasgarden #microfarm #allvolunteers #supportlocalfoodbanks #waylandMA #mastergardeners #womenwhofarm #donations #foodinsecurity #garden #gardening #microfarming #vegetablegarden #vegetables #waylandgarden #zone6garden

Everyone has a favorite tool to work in Aurelia's Everyone has a favorite tool to work in Aurelia's Garden. From the @mantistillers tiller for tilthing, a trusty weedwacker to keep the electric fence running, a new wire hoe for getting those baby weeds, or just our own pair of hands for the delicate jobs. Here's some video clips all taken within a span of 2 minutes on a busy, noisy day back in May when were working hard on our plot expansion getting ready for this abundant season. Be sure to turn the sound on! #aureliasgarden #garden #gardening #microfarm #microfarming #zone6garden #waylandMA #waylandgarden #vegetables #vegetablegarden #covercrop #crimsonclover #donations #foodinsecurity #supportlocalfoodbanks
