Forgot to post this small collection of pictures Cora took of the yogurt party she gave the chickens.

I found like 100 pictures on my phone.  And videos. I know you have been there…well probably not with chicken photos. 😜

It might be hard to tell, but I think way way deep down inside Wes loves it when I show up with the camera rolling. 🤣

He built a smaller version at our old place, but it got too heavy for us (aka me) to move by hand. Essentially it was a tractor coop but we didn’t own a tractor.

While eggs sadly continue to be a lost leader at our farm, more chickens = more happiness for Cora. 🐓

I finally got around to doing this about a month ago. Rosemary is so easy to propagate!

I didn’t know if these would work because the cuttings were quite woody, but all of them took. 👍🏽🥳

You know how there's so much nutritional advice out there it's mind boggling? It sure feels like we need to get back to the basics...you know, take the simple "root." 😉

We put together a Simple Roots' Simple Meals guide to take out the confusion and complexity.

Search the list of real foods and pick the protein, veggies, fat, etc and cook! It turns out it's not complicated after all. 🤓

Visit our farm website to grab the resource. Then you'll receive our newsletter filled with wellness tips, farm updates, recipes, produce at the farm stand (May-Nov), cute pix of goats, and so much more!

👍🏽 Here's to your health in 2026! 👍🏽

Local Powhatan farm stand that uses organic growing practices; offering fruit, vegetables, eggs, and honey.

Hot off the press! You know that feeling when you check something off your to-do list that has been on it for like two years…🥳🙂‍↔️🥹

Now to find the perfect spot out front and construct something to hang it…

Good & bad news to share! The good news? We are doing our first CSA this year! If you’re unfamiliar with community supported agriculture, it’s essentially investing in our farm and the reward is fresh weekly produce for 26 weeks!

You can read all the details on our website: simplerootsfarmpowhatan.com

The bad news? We’re already FULL! We are starting out small and opened up the opportunity first to folks on our email list.

Are you not on it? Well you can sign up for our Simple Meals guide on our website and then you’ll be added to our newsletter list.

It’s a great way to stay informed about what’s happening on the farm…the good, the bad, and the hilarious. 🙃 We also offer tips re: cooking, wellness goals, growing food and more.

We’ll still have a weekly farm stand on Saturdays from 9-11 from May through November. So excited about this season! Here’s to feeding our community fresh safe real food in 2026!
