December 2025Main Barn

Preparing the Seed Larder

Sorting, labeling, and storing seed stock with care before spring turns planning into motion.

The larder table is winter’s workshop: envelopes, twine, ledgers, and the quiet concentration that comes with naming what will become tomorrow’s field.

Every tray is reviewed for viability and lineage. We keep notes not only on yield, but on flavor, weather tolerance, and the shape of last year’s lessons.

Order is the hidden luxury of this season. In the stillness of December, preparation feels less like administration and more like promise.
