These farmers and life partners talk about creativity, sustainability, and seasonal wisdom<\/h3>\n

The couple lives there with their two-year-old daughter, Norah, a flock of chickens, a rooster named Rex, two dogs named Barley and Crook, and an array of deer, rabbits, and other visitors from the neighboring woods.<\/p>\n

Seasonal wisdom<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the planting and harvesting season, each day begins with a walk. \u201cA 20-minute walk gives me time to notice the weeds that need tending, bugs that are about to take over a crop, plants that need special attention, and equipment that needs fixing,\u201d says Rainwater, who dedicates 100 percent of her time to the farm. Salama is a house-call veterinarian during the day and a farmer during her off-hours.<\/p>\n

Rainwater and Salama believe in seasonal wisdom. This means creating healthy food on healthy soil for a healthy community. It also means being aware of and doing what they can to lessen their ecological impact.<\/p>\n

For instance, they use push-behind cultivators and rely on a tractor for moving compost and growing their vegetables in permanent, raised beds. They also use their fields in rotation, allowing beds to go fallow, a practice that restores the beds’ fertility and healthy microbes. The couple has earned Certified Naturally Grown farm status, too, a recognition given by peer farms that endorses their commitment to conscious, sustainable practices.<\/p>\n

The early days<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Salama grew up with a healthy respect for her mother’s vegetable patch, helping to harvest fresh tomatoes and zucchini by the bushel and distributing the excess throughout the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Rainwater\u2019s father loved gardening\u2014a passion she discovered later as part of Rochester\u2019s Center for Community Engagement. That\u2019s when she became involved with the Westside Farmers Market. She also worked on a farm for two years when she was an AmeriCorps volunteer.<\/p>\n

College roots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a first-year student, Salama founded the Sledgehammers, Rochester\u2019s first women\u2019s rugby team. Rainwater\u2032s close friends joined the team, and she and Salama hung out as friends in Anderson, in the unofficial “rugby suite.” After graduation, they reconnected and started dating.<\/p>\n

Although Rainwater\u2019s career took a non-linear path, Salama, an ecology and environmental biology major, stayed true to her course. After Rochester, she earned her veterinary degree from Cornell University, where she and Rainwater lived for a year, homesteading with their first seven laying hens and dreaming of one day starting their own farm. They even got married at the Ithaca Farmers Market in 2015.<\/p>\n

In season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the summer, the farm comes alive with colors, texture, and smells. Heirloom tomatoes adorn vertical trellises and cherry tomatoes grow inside a 70-foot-long row. Kale and other greens, shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, and zucchini\u2014along with flowers and perennial herbs\u2014flourish.<\/p>\n

Their tiny orchard also produces apples, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, and pawpaws\u2014a tropical fruit native to the eastern United States and Canada that tastes like mangoes. Twice a week, they sell their produce and crafts at the Westside Farmers Market and the Brighton Farmers Market. They also offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, which provides a weekly bounty to those who sign up for farm shares.<\/p>\n

Down season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When the farm is quiet, especially in the winter, Rainwater and Salama play music by the fire, plan for the next season, and spend a lot of time in their converted garage. That\u2019s where Rainwater makes handcrafted cutting boards, wooden butter knives, wooden boxes, and soaps. Salama makes carved spoons and utensil kits, jams, baskets, and leather crafts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiseased ash trees turn into wood objects, dried herbs find their way into our homemade soaps, and soft woods bend into baskets,\u201d says Rainwater. \u201cWe try to use everything on the farm, to perpetuate nature\u2019s cycles in ways that can nourish ourselves and others.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”50812″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border_circle_2″ mkd_css_animation=””][vc_column_text]\"a[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\"an[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” background_color=”#e7e7e7″ css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Sowing your own path<\/h3>\n

\u201cFind a good partner, surround yourself with supportive people, and visualize your goals. For us, that meant creating a sustainable farm, but, for each person, it is something distinct.\u201d\u2014Naomi Salama \u201908<\/p>\n

\u201cBe sure to map out your short- and long-term goals. Then, revisit them often and adjust accordingly. Life is fluid and plans should be, too. Keep an open mind. We didn\u2019t expect to be where we are now\u2014and we are so grateful to be here.\u201d\u2014Emma Rainwater \u201911[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\"\"[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/1LOSZQw4DHQ” align=”center” title=”Planting Roots, Building a Sustainable Future”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”15px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” background_color=”#e9e5d7″ css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
