Spring season has started !
We began deliveries today April 9. Boxes were filled with carrots,leeks, easter egg radishes, spinach, swiss chard,red leaf
lettuce, and asparagus. The cool weather this past few days slowed asparagus production,but with the warming trend next week
will see more in the boxes.
We will be accepting new memberships now to begin deliveries for May 14. This will be on
a first come first delivered basis.We understand that some want to trial first and that is fine. But it makes our growing
much more organized when you sign up for a quarter at a time. So that we can schedule planting timing and amounts better.
Last week we completed the first planting of over 6 different melons which I hope to have ready in early summer. Tomatoes
are growing well and some already have flowers on them. There are going to be over 12 different types to try.
As always
our goal is to provide you with fresh wholesome produce. What we are doing on the farm, is just as important as the
final product. Through the weekly newsletter and or at this site you can keep informed. As always we encourage your visits
both so we get know each other and see where the food comes from. If you have children this can be a very important part of
their education to know where and how it grows.
Tomorrow we will be receiving chicks from the hatchery. In about one
and half months there will be free range chickens on the farm and soon after available for meat consumption. Egg production
will begin this late summer. If you are interested send an inquiry to our e-mail. So we may get a idea of the demand for meat
and eggs.
let us know your response to this weeks veggies.
