Farm Stand

March 9-10, 2023

Welcome March!


Welcome to March! How did we get here already?


We’ve got just about a month until spring shares begin. If you haven’t snagged your spot don’t panic, there is still room for you, and even for a friend! Did you know you can refer a friend and both you and your friend will get a $10 credit to use for extras in Harvie? Just use your personal referal link (screen shot below).

 


It’s certainly feeling like spring over here. Brian’s quail eggs started popping open yesterday first thing in the morning. I was sitting in the quiet and reading, and heard a strange sound. I had a moment of disgust thinking there were mice in the house (it’s happened), before I realized that it was far too regular and “peep-like” to be a rodent and behold: the first quail, calling for momma. I went and got Brian, because in our house, he is 100% the poultry momma.

My beautiful new lean-to greenhouse is filling up with my plant babies, and my actual babies really like hanging out in there with all the green growing things, and the super fun swings Brian hung up. Casualties from swinging activities have been minimal thus far.


Ginger is pre-sprouting, early greens are actually starting to get planted out, and the earliest of the flowers and herbs for the seedling sale are popping. Have you taken a look at our seedling sale offerings? I went a little crazy and there are 40+ varieties of tomatoes alone… fun times!  Take a peek at the link below:

Next week the peppers get going and we’ve just put up more shelving to make sure we’ve got space. Any time we can buy before turning on the big greenhouse is a gift.


Speaking of gifts: the overwintered spinach is oh-so-sweet and incredibly plentiful, as are the last of 2022’s root veggies, yum! I’m writing this, not as a tease, but to let you know that I’m launching our first Farm Stand of 2023 so you can get a sneak preview off some of the yummy stuff coming your way next month and beyond. Orders will be open from now until Monday evening at 9:00 p.m.

 

Happy eating until next time!
