Grow

Tomatoes are a homestead staple. Their bright red fruit and distinctive smell are the truest signs of summer.

We multi-sow our onions to save on space.

Being a grass, wheat can be sown and effectively left to do its own thing — even in poor soil and/or inclement weather.

If stored correctly, carrot seeds can remain viable for up to 3 years.

I bet we get through thousands of the things over the course of a year — carrots are a homestead essential.

Potatoes are the main staple of our homestead, and growing them makes me feel like a ‘proper’ farmer.

We grow an heirloom variety of both red and green cabbage: “Red Acre” and “Golden Acre”, respectively.

Eggplants (or aubergines) are one of the first things we grew at Escape.Farm.
