After a hectic week, it finally arrived – The 42nd annual Aunt Het Festival!
What a fun time and a great learning experience, I am already thinking about plans for next year!
Thank you so much to everyone who stopped in, friends old and new, and to the city for hosting this annual event.
I spent the time leading up to this event curating the best seeds and ensuring that my humble plants were the perfect age for the Saturday festival. The timing was crucial, and I am so fortunate that it all went according to plan. We had ZERO plant casualties on the drive over!
I brought 6 full racks of adult microgreens, 75 germinated pods, and a huge DIY seed station, mint plants, tea olive trees, junipers, and several bonsai trees. Bread samples (perhaps the nicest canape’s seen at the event) cookies, BBQ dry rub, more seeds, and lots of business cards!
Even typing this right now, I am getting ideas I know exactly what I want to do differently in the future.
Friday was a whirlwind in the kitchen where I baked 7 loaves in the bread machines and 200+ cookies. Marley accidentally started a rumor that I was going to bake 3,000 cookies – thankfully it was NOT true as hindsight confirms that 200 was indeed “a lot”.
The breezy weather Saturday was so awesome after working in the heat all summer, Q4 is truly the best time of year!
Got to sneak over and hear the legend Mac Arnold sing a bit, and enjoyed some Man Mimosas from our neighbor booth The Wine Fountain
I enjoyed showcasing my food, plants, and art, and I look forward to discovering new ways to serve this awesome community.

Looking forward to learning more and testing new plants, preparing some winter crops, and pushing the limits of science and nature in my own home with this “hobby-turned-lifestyle”.
We are also very excited to be getting 3 new ducks later this month.
See you soon.
