The Farm Happenings
(Fun Stuff Happening at the Farm)
- Asparagus: We have a ton of it! It is loving this weather but remember- asparagus is a short season crop and usually ends come late June so get your fill in!
- Green GARLIC! Give it a try, it is an early picking of the garlic plant so the bottom bulb is very small but it has a very mild garlic flavour and is great to have in the kitchen. You cut it up like a green onions and can put it in stir fry, in of salads, an so on.
- Planting: Lots of plants are going in the ground constantly for shares, follow our social media to see more of it! We're getting caught up from all of the crazy business going on this spring.
- Spring Babies: We have calves, baby chicks & piglets all arriving at the farm.
- Farm Projects: We are always building something new! We just added our first office space to our store so now we do not have to do our work at Steve and Lisa's kitchen table, it is little but very exciting!
