Farm Happenings at Wild Coyote Farm
Melons & Pickles
Of course, no farm update would be complete without a discussion on the status of melons on the farm. I’ll say, if you at all like cantaloupe, you should get your hands on one of these. They really are delicious this year! It doesn’t look we have quite enough inventory for everyone to g1 read more »
Produce update
Blackberries will be ending here in the next week or two and we will be rolling right into melon harvest. This season we may have over done the melons, so be prepared for plenty of that to come, both watermelon and cantaloupe. Melons are a bit difficult to get the harvest timing right on because th1 read more »
Lettuce & Hurricane
Lettuce explain why are without lettuce mix this week. I don’t know! We must have been too busy 4 weeks ago to get a planting out. Maybe it was too wet, maybe the transplants were behind… During the summer we plant and transplant both head lettuce and lettuce mix every other week in an1 read more »
Soil
As farmers, we are totally aware of the benefits of ground cover.

Here at the farm we consider ourselves to be regenerative, which is what allows is to reduce inputs while growing great food with an eye1 read more »
First Box & Composting
Part of the reason we raise sheep is so that we can have a great fertility source for our fields. This week I finally cleaned out their winter paddock and got it all in pile for composting. This will make great compost for later produce growing. It is exciting to me as a farmer to make large volum1 read more »
