Growing cut flowers and medicinal herbs in Nevada City, CA. We acknowledge that we live, love and farm on the ancestral land of Nisenan Tribe.

Listen up folks, this is important. I'm grateful this company sent this ludicrous advertisement for their proposed project because it made me realize that even though this project is a terrible idea for every possible reason, and I would assume no supervisor or person in leadership in their right mind would allow this to go thru - a lot of times money and influence can be stronger than reason. And if we don't speak up collectively then we wake up one morning and the worst possible outcome becomes reality.

This mine is universally a bad idea. Please, if you don't know about this mine, then look it up (Sierrafund.org has a good article: Understanding the proposed re-operation of Idaho-Maryland Mine), and then write to your supervisor and sign the petition (link in our bio)

Long story short - possible contamination of Wolf Creek watershed and over 300 downstream wells....drilling and blasting and removing 1,500 tons of mine tailing and waste rock (ie, rock with elevated levels of toxic metals) PER DAY and running 24 HOURS a day for the life of the project (80+ years)...releasing a shit ton of CO2 into the environment with high levels of fuel usage, concrete backfill, back up generators etc etc....those purported 312 jobs? Of those jobs, 242 jobs are specialized technical positions likely to be filled by people recruited from outside the area (also come on, there are a thousand other sectors where we can create more local jobs...ehem, sustainable farming)...and highly suspect/historically shown to be laughable that any of the profits will help our local economy or community.

We can do something about this - sign the petition, write your supervisors, stay informed ( @minewatchnc is a good group to follow) and stay vigilant. Use your voice, tell your friends, spread the word. If ever there were something to go viral, this should be it. If ever there were something that could unite a community, especially in such times of polarization about just about every possible topic, this should also be it.

Peachy sunset dahlia love. So delicious and dream

Peachy sunset dahlia love. So delicious and dreamy I just want to take a bite. Growing flowers and creating with them is definitely my happy place. When all the business and money part of it is taken out, this is really the place where my heart rests. #intheflow

So lucky to have borrowed/stolen @frekels7 from our friends @sweetrootsfloral for some extra hours this season! Always smiling, super skilled on the farming side, a quick learner on the flower harvest side, trustworthy, positive, and extremely photogenic (as you can see 😉).
So grateful for her help!
Pictured here with his ol' Roseanne Brown Lisianthus, a personal favorite!
