We have been busy watching our plants to see when they're ready. We are hopeful to have cucumbers by Friday and will be putting them on the list. Also on the list will be green beans, onions, kale, lettuce, golden beets, and three types of radishes. We are hopeful to have our strawberries in full harvesting mode by next week. Have you been to our Facebook page? Look up BMAfarmstand to get more updates. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please email them to Christina at chouston@bma.us. Thank you for being a part of our season. Spread the word so we can get more shares! We have lots of produce.

Farm Happenings for June 19, 2020
About the farm
Founded in 1955, agriculture was a key component of Blue Mountain Academy school program. BMA operated a farm and dairy through the mid-90’s when it shut its farm down due to financial difficulties. In 2012, the school board voted to return to its roots and restart its agriculture program. Starting with a couple of greenhouses and a small vegetable garden, this program has expanded to include, laying hens, approximately 3 acres of veggie gardens, berries, herbs, orchards, herbs, bees, hay, and grain crops. In 2017 a portion of the farm became certified organic, and in 2019 the remaining fields were certified as well.
