Sunrise before the roofers took down what was left of our cupola and patched the giant hole in our roof. The iconic Nye Ranch barn will never look the same. 😞 . . . . . . . #barnlife #marketfarm #nyeranch #fortbragg #flowerfarm #cupola #barn #ranunculus

Thank you for all the concerns and well wishes! 💕 We felt a lot of love the past couple days and we appreciate it so much. We got things cleaned up and most of the electrical working again so back to farming!!! The roof is another story but for now we have everything we need. Feeling so incredibly grateful. 🌞
⚡️⚡️⚡️We got struck by lightning this morning. LITERALLY. The cupola on the top of the barn(our home) was hit and exploded within 5 FEET of me (Mel). The barn shook violently and because I was on the 3rd story I was right next to the explosion of light and glass and wood followed by an intense red color. The sound was deafening and the barn filled up with smoke. The glass and wood scattered inside the barn as well as all over the property. It took awhile to process what happened and that I was okay so Kyle (who thought I was dying because I was screaming) ran up and grabbed me and our dog and got us safe to the bottom of the barn where we had to wait until the storm subsided. Needless to say it was one of the most terrifying experiences we’ve ever been through and we are so thankful that all our pets and us (Kyle and Mel) are OK. We will be installing a lightning rod after we get the roof fixed up on this 130+ year old barn. A transformer also exploded out in the front driveway, likely from the same strike. Anyways, that’s our drama for the day and we’re currently at an Irish pub taking the edge off.
Dreaming of sweet summer peaches during this current lightning storm. These peachy ranunculus we’ve brought into the kitchen will have to do for now. 🍑⚡️ . . . . . . . . . #week13flowers #flowerfarmer #nyeranch #ayearinflowers #ranunculus #terracotta
Ranunculus never let us down! So hardy in the extreme spring weather and so beautiful as they age. See you at farmers market today!
~Baby Kale~ “I’m the baby gotta love me!” 🌿Coming soon to farmers market. #greendreams
~Arugula~ Tender & spicy. Flavorful and nutritious. It is true that when we eat this for lunch we gain super human powers for the rest of the day. #greendreams
~Spring Mix~ full of texture and flavor and all the lush green of spring! 🌿 #greendreams
