Grammy's Fruit & Produce

With the help of Darren McAvoy, assistant professor at , we’re making biochar to improve our soil health and move toward a more sustainable way of farming. Biochar is charcoal made specifically for the soil and is created by burning organic waste in a low-oxygen environment. Darren built this kiln to do exactly that, at scale. That controlled burn locks carbon into a stable, porous material instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. When inoculated, those pores become a thriving home for beneficial microbes. It holds water and nutrients in the soil longer, reduces the need for inputs, and keeps carbon locked in the ground for centuries, making it one of the only truly carbon negative practices in agriculture.

This spring hit hard.
Like most of Utah’s orchards, we were not spared from the freeze — and the heartbreak is real. After years of pouring love into our trees, watching an entire season’s worth of fruit disappear overnight is something no farmer ever gets used to.
We did catch one small break due to our efforts: one block of our peaches made it. But for everything else, it was a complete loss.
However that wont be the end of the story.
We’ve partnered with a trusted neighboring farm just outside of Utah to bring you good quality peaches. Grown with the same care, just a little further down the road.
And the good news? We are about to plant our row crops and they will be every bit as fresh and delicious as ever.
Despite the weather,drought, proposed data centers, we are still HERE. Still farming.
Come out and see us. Your support means everything, and it’s what keeps us going. We’d love to see your faces this season. 🤍

Although it would have been better if our sprinklers were above the tree the principal is this; running sprinklers during a freeze helps orchards through something counterintuitive, ice can actually protect the fruit. When water freezes, it releases latent heat. As long as the sprinklers keep running and water is continuously freezing on the plant tissue, the temperature of the ice coating stays right at 32°F (0°C).This is warmer than the surrounding air, so the ice acts as an insulating shell that keeps buds, blossoms, and young fruit from dropping below freezing. We think we actually came out alright tonight partially because our blossoms were so heavy and we intentionally did a light prune and hadn’t thinned but we’ll know more in the coming days 🤞🏼

People often ask what we do on our off season. The answer is usually the less romanticized side of farming ie. book keeping, taxes and mechanic work. This winter, was a bit different and this large steel building is the result. It’s going to help us aggregate and store more produce so our community gets more of the good stuff AND so we don’t have to load trucks and semi’s on the side of the highway 😅 There is a lot more work to be done so, stay tuned, we have lots of exciting things coming.

These blossoms are as heavy as I’ve ever seen them but not for long. We will be thinning these (taking off blossoms) so our fruit is good size and healthy.

We’re always looking for more sustainable ways to care for the land. As part of our commitment in taking steps towards regenerative agriculture, we’re excited to share a new one we’re working towards: next year we’ll be expanding our flock of chickens!

Why chickens? Because they do much more than lay eggs. Chickens are regenerative partners.

In a regenerative system, every animal and plant plays a role — and chickens are no exception. By increasing our flock, we’re aiming to:

•Reduce w**d pressure naturally — chickens love to forage and scratch, helping break up w**d cycles without the need for herbicides.
•Fertilize the soil — their droppings are rich in nitrogen and organic matter, improving soil health with every step.
•Enhance biodiversity — rotational grazing with chickens encourages healthier ecosystems and supports beneficial insects and microbes.

Why does it matter?

Conventional w**d control methods often rely on chemicals that can harm soil biology and pollinators. By using chickens in rotation with our crop and areas, we’re embracing a low-impact, high-benefit solution — one that works with nature, not against it. Oh yeah, and we will be offering pasture raised eggs in our retail store to boot. Win’s all around! ✨

As we wrap up the self serve, we want to say how grateful we are for your support, your visits and the way you’ve helped our farm this year, it truly means a lot to our family. If you’d like to stock up for winter, please feel free to come by and take any of the squash you’d like to store or pumpkins to feed your animals. We have some left and we’d love to see it go to families who have supported us all season long. Thanks again for being part of our community and for choosing to shop from local farms. We appreciate every single one of you. With Love, your local farmer.
