Farm Happenings for August 30/31, 2024

Posted on August 25th, 2024 by Mike Nolan

Friends,

Looks like we will have little more growing weather coming in this week - which means, to a farmer, high temps + high humidity. While this is excellent growing conditions for the plants, it is also great for fungus, bacteria, weeds and insects. But the best part of the season is on hand and we will see cooler temps soon enough followed by the best tasting greens and fall crops!

If you missed last weeks' Farm Happenings I put a note in about firewood for sale. See below:

Firewood Available: I had to take down 2 giant honey locust trees on the farm in the past 2 years  (120 years) and I have about 12 cords of excellent firewood (locust is considered one of the hottest woods to burn and leaving very little ash. I also have some cherry and black walnut mixed in the stacks here too.

A full cord of wood is 8'long x 4' wide x 4' high

Prices:

1/4 cord - $165 (32 cubic feet)
1/2 cord - $320 (4'long x 2' wide x 2' high)
Whole cord - $625 (8'long x 4' wide x 4' high)

Typical wood length is 15"

Short wood orders: add $20 per quarter cord for about 12" lengths

Call or text me for delivery details and scheduling.
