Did you know that we have a pantry program? In addition to supporting organic farms, we also distribute non-produce items made with clean ingredients by farmers and purveyors with shared values! ⁠

We are excited to add @kcultureferments to Happy Dirt's pantry! K Culture is woman-founded and family-owned. They create some of the most flavorful krauts, kimchi, and beverages, using ingredients grown on the family's 42-acre farm. For the Purple Kraut and Beetiful Curtido, they use organic beets from Happy Dirt! ⁠

Our CEO, @sandi.kronick, chatted with @trianglebizjrnl about the heavy economic impact that the changing climate and severe weather have had on farmers in recent years and what Happy Dirt is doing to build a network of resiliency among small farms. ⁠
⁠
“We’re like a social network,” she told the TBJ. “During Covid, one of our farmers didn’t have any staff to harvest a crop that was about to go under so he called another farmer in our network who sent his team over for two days. We can measure what that kind of resiliency means financially, but I have no idea how someone would grasp what that could mean to a farmer emotionally, because the level of insecurity that a farmer endures seasonally creates an immense amount of pressure.”⁠

Friday Field Notes | We began crop planning with our farmers in order to help diversify their crop offerings! Crop diversification not only helps to create a resilient food system, but it also benefits farmers financially. ⁠
⁠
This year, one of our organic farmers/owners grew bok choy for the first time. He grew a specific variety of bok choy, Mei Qing Choi, which is more tolerant to the high temperatures that we we saw in mid-April and throughout May. Growing adaptable varieties in our ever-changing climate is becoming extremely important, especially here in the Southeast. ⁠
⁠
Since it was his first year growing organic bok choy, we had a limited amount. The crop was beautiful and did really well, which means he will grow organic bok choy again in 2024!⁠
