Farm Happenings for January 11, 2024
We have a threatening line of storms headed our way this afternoon and one of the things I always have to do is move all of our equipment away from wood lines and big trees. With 40-50mph winds in the forecast it could get really bad and the last thing we need is trees falling on our equipment. We1 read more »

Happy New Year to everyone, I hope yall had a great break. Carrots are finally in and they are so good, I love to eat them as soon as I can get the dirt off of them.

Green garlic is looking good and appears to be larger than normal for this time of year, which means we may harvest some of it earlier than the Spring.

We have some cauliflower that is just in time for Thanksgiving! Everything in the fields has kind of slowed down with the cloudy weather we have been dealing with, but the beautiful white heads of cauliflower have finally matured enough for us to pick.

We are finally getting some rain, and it is a slow and steady rain which is just what we want. Our ground has not been saturated in months now, this is just what the farm needs for everything growing this time of year. I can not believe Thanksgiving is almost here, this year has flown by.
