First Year Farming: Lessons, Growth, and Community
Starting a farm for the first time is an adventure, full of wonder and a fair share of challenges. For us at 13th Crow Craft Co., diving into farming wasn't just about putting seeds in the soil—it was about learning to listen to the land, and the lessons that only trial and error can teach. When you’re beginning a farming journey, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by choices, investment decisions, and the unpredictability of nature. But as we’ve discovered, the rewards that come from working with the earth and connecting to our community make every mistake and every growing pain worthwhile.
They Said We Were Crazy. Maybe We Are.
You know how every good story starts with someone saying, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if..."? Well, ours started with, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we quit our jobs and started a farm?" You know, just a totally reasonable idea. The kind of idea that makes your parents clutch their pearls and some of your friends do a spit-take with their coffee. (To be fair, our other friends asked when they can come join us.)
