What's happening on the farm this week??

It is starting to feel like spring, that's what's happening!

We have been interviewing for farm crew positions and we are getting ready to fire up the greenhouse for getting seeds in the soil for our spring plant sales at the Sunday Farmers' Market.

The birds are singing and we are checking of our lists for springtime planting, harvesting, weeding, and selling. This is the time of year where we finalize our grand plan for the season (or entire year) to make sure we will have plenty of veggies to harvest when we need them. This is a complicated plan to get in order, but it's incredibly important to do this work now and not try to create the plan once the season gets even busier. Of course plans can change and be altered as needed but if we don't have a plan going into the season it only makes us feel as though we are running around putting out fires - and no one likes to feel like that!


We are making our way through the storage crops in our coolers and will have a new round of greens and fresh roots coming soon, especially with the warm days in the forecast for this weekend!

Get outside and enjoy the sun everyone!
