Our crew is RAD! Echollective Farm wouldn’t run

Our crew is RAD! Echollective Farm wouldn’t run without the collective effort of our farm team along with the support of our community. Want to join the community?

It’s June! And the strawberries are ready to be

It’s June! And the strawberries are ready to be picked at @wilsonsorchardandfarm and the brunch at @wilsonsciderhouse is so ridiculously delicious anddddddddd we are behind on just about everything (planting, weeding, harvesting…) at our own farm. That said, we are still human. Being intentional about taking time to rest and connect is essential. It is easy to get caught up in hustle culture or talk about overworking yourself as if it’s a badge of honor. All humans deserve time to pick ripe strawberries under blue skies in June 🌤🍓. Not pictured: the homemade strawberry-rhubarb crisp, strawberry lime popsicles, and strawberry lemonade we made with our haul.

We have a stellar 💪❤️ farm team this season

On Saturday, Derek held it down at the farm while I (Molly) got together with a stellar crew of young, Iowa farmers. Connecting with peer community is such an important aspect to farming. As a first generation farmer, there is so, so much to know! Taking time to connect to, learn from, and organize with other farmers in the region allows me to support other farmers while they support me and my farm team in return ❤️🙌.
Saturday’s meeting was enjoyed over yummy, local eats from @blazingstareats (so good!). We chatted about our shared hopes and dreams for the future of Iowa’s farmscape and discussed how we might organize to achieve those dreams. It was so refreshing to see farmer friends in person before the spring chaos ramps up to full speed.
I feel incredibly lucky to be in community with so many rad(ical) farmers!!!

Today, we covered the second largest hoophouse on the farm! 🥳🙌🎉👏 We’ve been waiting patiently for a low wind day and today was perfect. Our 9 person crew got the huge, final piece of plastic in place and secured. Now, time to plant some spring crops!! ❤️🌱
