Back to School, Back to the Land

Tish and Eb reflect on the turning of the seasons—from the hustle of back-to-school days to the cool air of fall settling into the farm. They share what it’s like to get kids off to college (with Cocoa heading out on her next adventure), and Tish offers heartfelt advice for parents experiencing that milestone for the first time.The conversation flows from family to farming: fall flowers and bouquets, pumpkins, snapdragons, zinnias, and lavender, and how even herbs (and sometimes weeds!) can earn their place in a bouquet. Eb and Tish also talk about herbs as a “secret weapon” in the kitchen, adding flavor and depth to recipes.Together they explore what it means to grow food year-round with the help of a hoop house, but also what it means to grow resilience as Black farmers in an urban landscape.At the heart of this conversation is a deeper reflection: wealth isn’t just money—it’s the ability to create value for others. For Tish and Eb, farming is a way to do exactly that: to solve problems, share abundance, and build community.Image: Farmer Girl Eb with her wild bouquet from the farm.⁠https://www.outoftheendinc.com/⁠⁠https://www.farmergirleb.com/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/p/Farmer-Girl-Eb-100070127213464/⁠Hoop House Talk is Produced, Edited and Mixed by With Bowl and Spoon, LLCBackground music: Fractal of Light by Chris Haugen
