Fall days are full days #farmlife #winteriscoming #pinkbarnfarm

The early frost + full moon has us all sorts of out-of-sorts. We’re working through it though. Farming with your spouse can feel a little messy sometimes. But we’re not afraid of getting dirty. And we’re learning how to be better farmers and partners every damn day. #theonlywayoutisthrough #fullmoonvibes #changeisintheair #farmingpartners #partnersfarming #pinkbarnfarm

Full nardello moon tonight. Super early frost this year, two weeks + earlier than last year. Surely, it’s a blessing in disguise. And yet, a large amount of our October inventory sits on the vine. So we pick and move on! #frostmoon #maybe #makingitup #frostober #jimmynardello #pinkbarnfarm

That ‘well I guess it frosted last night and I ain’t that mad about it’ kinda morning. #frostyourself #goodridence #onlythestrongsurivive #nowwwewait #frozencropscoldhandscantloose #pinkbarnfarm

Signs of a long season. #aintoveryet #growth #stretchmarks #pinkbarnfarm

Two years ago. We had just moved up here. I was still working at Stanford. We woke up early on the morning of October 6, in the pitch darkness. We got in the car and headed to drop Gavin off at the bus station (he catches the 6am bus to SF). As we headed out of town, the traffic was bumper-to-bumper headed into west county, and not a single car going the other direction...the direction we were headed. Gavin’s phone rang, it was one of his co-workers calling to tell us about the fires in Santa Rosa and to get off the roads, and stay home. Panic and disbelief set in. We turned around, turned on the radio, and sat in gridlock headed towards our home as fast as we could. We passed gas stations where the lines were to the street. We saw fires burning in the hills. It was still dark out and we were disoriented by it all. It wasn’t until the sun came up, cloaked in thick smoke and ash that we realized that no sun would shine that day. Or for many days afterwards. It was a day that many will never forget. The smells, stillness in the air, the lighting, and above all else, the sense of fortune we felt. Many of the properties we had looked at buying were located in the burn zones. We could have been the unlucky ones. . . . Here we are again, the same conditions, same time of year. And we have power and water and food. Again, we are feeling fortunate. And yet, uneasy and on edge, until those first drops of rain begin to fall. Stay safe and be smart, alert, and prepared. Check in with your neighbors. And don’t flail mow dry grass or throw your butts out the window. #fireseason #pgeshutdown #pinkbarnfarm
