On International Women’s Day, it only seems fitting to give tribute to the woman who has made our Instagram account what it is today. Jan Bell has served tirelessly every day for the last 5 and 1/2 years to create a Instagram community of creative, earth-loving, caring, organic gardeners. She has made us laugh and cry and exclaim in awe. She has kept us informed of What’s Growing on Wednesday, given us Thoughts on Thursday, and always appreciated the beauty of the world around her. She has made art with food, crafted beauty with nature, and kept us abreast of the goings-on at the farm. She has honored and kept us aware of special days and events throughout the year. So it is with a heavy heart that we bid her adieu as she moves on to retirement and caring for herself and her family. Her help has been invaluable and her commitment unwavering. No one can replace Jan, and she is still creating beauty on her own personal Instagram account, @janbell1953 where you can follow her if you wish. Our hearts are filled with love and appreciation for everything Jan has done for the Gilbertie family and especially for Sal. We love you, Jan, and we wish you all the best as you enjoy your well-deserved retirement. *Please note that we wanted to put a photo of Jan in this post, but she requested no photos, so we are honoring her wishes with a sketch from an app. Her beauty is beyond compare both inside and out. We will miss you Jan, but we will try to pick up your mantle and continue this account with your dedication and commitment. #internationalwomensday #strongwomen #women #retirement #sayinggoodbyeishard #love #commitment #dedication #passion #creativity #nature #organics #gilbertiesorganics #eastonct #gilberties

We’ve had our first official full day of spring. It certainly was a chilly one! Though the March winds are still blowing, things are still growing in our warm greenhouses! It’s What’s Growing Wednesday so here’s a reminder to eat your greens! Our organic kale and spinach can help you stay healthy and strong—just ask Popeye! 🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬 #gilbertiesorganics #gilbertieswestport #easton06612 #easton #eastonct #06612 #familybusiness #kale #102years  #spinach #1922 #organics #herbs #herbgardening #microgreens #organicvegetableplants #vegetablegardening #organicgardening #spring #soilgrown #soilgrownisbetter #organicisbetter #organicisbest #localfarming #community #gardeners #gardening #supportinggardeners #farmersalmanac #whatsgrowingwednesday
