We will also be planting sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers (sweet and hot), eggplant, strawberries, asparagus, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, berries (blueberries, raspberries, and gooseberries), peaches, and plums. I look at this list and think...we have A LOT of work to do, but we are excited to get outside in the warm sunshine and get some work done!

(If any of our customers would like a certain variety planted, now is the time to let us know...we can try to find it before spring arrives) :)

Winter...Will It Ever End?

Only with winter patience can we bring the deep-desired, long awaited spring.
--Anne Morrow Lindbergh


I am trying to be patient for this winter to be over, but it is getting more difficult with each new winter storm. I am tired of SNOW! Please Lord, bring the spring quickly!!!!

***Edited to add:
On the news last night they said we have gotten 52" of snow so far this season, breaking an old record set in the 1880's...with more snow expected on Saturday:(

Farm Fresh Eggs

Anyone interested in purchasing farm fresh free-range eggs? We have a few pullets (hens that are just about ready to lay) that are arriving on the farm in April. They will provide us with some eggs for our Summer CSA season, but we are thinking of expanding our egg production by purchasing chicks at the end of this Summer/Fall to raise over winter so that they would be laying by next Spring. We need to get an idea of how much interest there is to determine how many chickens we'll need. Anyone interested can email us at the link to the right.
