Warm and dry weather has finally showed up and we got the chance to lay some fresh plastic for Spring! We use black plastic this time of year to help warm the soil while temperatures are still cool, it gives a chance to get an early jump on spring varieties like summer squash, cucs, and my favorite TOMATOES! Just FYI because I have some people who ask, all the plastic mulch we put down is removed from our fields when were are done with it and brought to a recycling facility. I hope everyone is enjoying their veggies and these warmer temps!

The farm not only grows multiple varieties of over 30 types of vegetables, but in recent years has added fruit trees and flowers.
