Beetroot. Out of the ground this morning. 🌱Our soil here is sandy clay. Alive, mineral rich, no chemical spray, nothing forced. Small farm, slow growing. The beets take their time and fill up with flavour instead of water.Now look at the tops.Supermarket beetroot shows up bald. The leaves get cut off at origin because they wilt in two or three days and never survive the long haul in a chiller. That means you lose the best part of the plant.Beet greens are fully edible and honestly better for you than the root. Vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, iron, magnesium, several times over. The glowing pink stalks are betalain, the same pigment that turns the root deep crimson.How we eat the whole thing: Leaves, fried hard with garlic. Like spinach, but with attitude. Stalks, sliced into batons and started a minute early. Root, roasted until sweet, or grated raw into salad.Leaves attached means it was in the soil this week. No leaves means nobody can tell you how long it sat in cold storage. 🥬Grown here. Grown slowly. Eaten whole.#farmajarn #beetroot #beetgreens #huahin #sprayfree #livingsoil #smallfarm #growninthailand #eattheleaves #knowyourfarmer #soiltotable

Two new figs of the week. Fully ripe despite the rain.The dark one is Black Madeira from Portugal. Collectors call it the King of Figs. Deep red jam inside, with enough acid to stop the sweetness getting smug.The green one is Inca Gold. Nothing to do with the Incas. A Southeast Asian favourite, barely known in Europe. Amber flesh, honey sweet.A king and a commoner. Same board.At Farm-a-jarn, we don’t just grow average figs. We grow good, unique, tasty figs.Eat good figs.#Farmajarn #HuaHin #BlackMadeira #IncaGold

Today we had to move one of our stingless bee nests into a new house box.Rainy season = humidity… and unfortunately, their old house got too damp and started growing mold. So we had to step in and give them a fresh, dry home.Hopefully they’ll rebuild their nest, recover, and survive this round.This happens every year during the rainy season. And when the bees are busy surviving instead of producing honey… well, there goes our honey supply.So next time you wonder why our honey is expensive… 🙂‍↔️ Now you know. It’s not just “put bees in a box and collect honey.”———วันนี้ต้องย้ายบ้านให้น้องผึ้งชันโรง 1 รัง 🐝🏠ช่วงหน้าฝนความชื้นเยอะมาก บ้านน้องชื้นจนเริ่มมีเชื้อรา เลยต้องรีบย้ายไปบ้านใหม่ที่แห้งกว่า หวังว่าน้องๆ จะช่วยกันสร้างรังใหม่ ฟื้นตัว และอยู่รอดรอบนี้นะเรื่องแบบนี้เกิดขึ้นแทบทุกปีช่วงหน้าฝน และพอผึ้งต้องเอาพลังงานไปซ่อมบ้าน สร้างรังใหม่ และเอาตัวรอด เราก็ไม่ได้เก็บน้ำผึ้งเลยเพราะฉะนั้น ถ้าเคยสงสัยว่าทำไมน้ำผึ้งของเราถึงแพง… ตอนนี้น่าจะพอเข้าใจแล้วว่าเลี้ยงผึ้งไม่ได้แค่เอาผึ้งใส่กล่องแล้วรอเก็บน้ำผึ้งนะ

Can’t wait for another season of tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, and so much more! 🌱🍅🥦We don’t just order seeds online and grow from a bag. We’ve actually been there, visiting the original seed houses and seed hubs in the US, seeing where so many of these varieties begin.A little farm story behind every seed we grow...
