Her affinity for worms is still going strong this week.

Tulsi's new favorite past time: looking for worms in the compost pile. She spends most mornings with either a babysitter at our house or with my parents, who live here on the farm.

Microgreens have become one of our most popular crops. A couple of years ago we even had to hire someone part time to manage this part of the farm. They are exponentially faster from seeding to harvest than any other crop we grow- typically 7-10 days, except in winter when it takes about 3 times th1 read more »

Farm Happenings for third week of September

Posted on September 14th, 2019
This heat just won't let up! It's been a big challenge to get fall crops established when we continuously have temps in the mid to upper 90s. Carrots need lower temps to germinate well so the ones we seeded several weeks ago will have to be re-seeded, meaning the harvest will be delayed till Novemb1 read more »
