Welcome to the second half of February!
Virginia has brought us some hints of spring, but we know they are just hints and not the real deal. We'll stick to our planting schedule and not get lured into planting out tender crops early!
Farm energy is starting to shift, as we are now actively caring for baby tomato plants and preparing to clear some beds of winter crops in preparation to plant spring crops. Our fields will completely transform in the next two months. For those that don't pick up your shares at our farm: If you're able to get out to the farm for a springtime visit, it's always fun to then find a time again in the fall to visit so that you get to see the difference between the seasons. The colors, patterns, and structure of our fields evolve over the course of months. We love that change, every year!
Note: For those of you that saw our ad for the Herbal Salve made by our oldest child, please know that we will be making it available as an Extra Item through this software, but she is currently sold out! She is infusing more oil and has ordered more tins. We'll post them on here as soon as she has replenished her inventory. :)
Enjoy the ingredients for salads and soups within this week's Farm Share, and thank you for being a member of our farm!
Best,
Janet & Dan
