Farm Happenings at Hoot Owl Farm
CSA Week #4
Lots of new crops to harvest this week (including plenty of carrots)! We're beginning to harvest summer crops like zucchini, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes, all the while also harvesting our spring crops like cabbage and broccoli. It's a little strange for us because in the past, it seems like the1 read more »
CSA Week #3 - Customize
Bonnie got a nice thank you at the market yesterday from some of the Headstart classes that came out to the farm for a visit this Spring. We had four separate field trips, and boy do we admire teachers for being able to occupy those inquisitive bundles of energy all day! We had some great questions1 read more »
CSA Week #3 - Pick Up
The new cooler is in, but there's a lot of finish work to do before the project is complete. Amazingly, this walk in cooler was built in about 1/2 hour by this fine crew. It's made out of insulated panels that 'cam-lock' together at a few points at each seam. A bit like legos or lincoln logs for ad1 read more »

CSA Week #2 - Pick Up
Second succession of melons is planted (pic above)! We're really working hard to have both MORE melons this year and also have ripe melons for a longer stretch of time.

Pop-Up Week #24 - Order
We're a little late getting our online Farm Stand open this week, but we'll make up for it by leaving it open longer -- until Tuesday at noon. Also, we're lowering our minimum order value to $15 as we have less variety to offer now that the cold temps have finally found us. But, we do still have lo1 read more »
Pop-Up Week #24 - Pick Up
REMEMBER! If your pick up is in Libby, it's FRIDAY 3:30-5 at the Antler's parking lot!
We're finishing up the season in the same way we typically begin -- moving compost around. Compost is an important part of our farm, especially to new blocks that we're bringing into production. Our soil is very1 read more »
