Flock & FurrowThe 2027 plan
28 crops and 43 varieties, in eighteen boxes from 31 May to 27 September. Everything on this page comes from the plan we farm by, so it is our best guess rather than a promise. The weather gets a say.
Each square is a crop in that week's box. Tap or hover on one to see how much goes in.

The crops, the varieties we chose, and roughly when each one is ready.
The parts of the farm we are least qualified for, which is more or less why they are here.
A small flock on pasture, on slug patrol between the beds. Eggs go into shares only when there are enough for every family to get the same number.
Hives going in this season. We are not planning on honey in year one. The first winter is the real test.
Shiitake on alder bolts cut from our own trees, inoculated in early spring and fruiting from the stack.
Between crops the beds get buckwheat, which flowers for the bees in the July gap, then cereal rye and crimson clover to hold the soil over winter. The tulips come up in late April and go out as a welcome bouquet around Mother’s Day.
Planned before the first seed goes in, and revised constantly after.
