A long-overdue project has been to get on Instagram so folks can see what’s happening at the farm and get previews of produce that’s about to hit the market stand. Farming is such a visually stimulating job, and I hope y’all will follow me @theurbanacre for future updates and scenes from the homestead! As a result, I plan to slowly phase out my blog posts and clean up the website a little bit. A fresh new look is in the works!

I’m also excited to share that Portland Farmers Markets has enlisted the FarmFan app to help you remember when your favourite market is about to open! Simply visit their homepage or the Lents International Farmers Market page, and click on “Get Market Day Text Alerts” to sign up.

You’ll receive text alerts the day before the market, making it easier to plan ahead and less likely that you’ll miss your favourite farmer 🙂
