The Raven and the Spade is a Washington State Certified Organic farm, dedicated to enhancing and preserving the small-farming communities of Whidbey Island. We believe it is our duty to be stewards of the land, using only natural methods of insect control, crop rotation, and the love of our land to enrich the soil that provides us with a wide variety of mouthwatering fruits and vegetables. There is something deeply right about learning to eat with the flow of the seasons.
Feeding ones body and soul!
What is this compulsion some people have to grow and create gardens? For some in the world it is out of pure necessity – for others more privileged it is a passion. For these passionate people, I would argue that gardening and growing is also a necessity, albeit one of the soul. At least, this is the way I feel about it.
Part of the charm for me is the pure pleasure of creating something beautiful to look at. Whilst I love plants, the joy I really get is in their placement with other plants and the ‘view’ one gets when you stand back and admire a garden or garden bed as a whole.
In the past two days I took apart and redesigned the two entry beds of the garden. Changing, creating allowing yourself to explore and be excited about plants, planting and even weeding. I do love my garden/farm that feed us all in body and soul!
