'Tis the season for welcoming animals to the farm: a new flock of hens is here, and it's Flying Plow's largest to date! 400 egg-laying ladies moved into a fresh, brand-new chicken coop this week.

We welcomed two new draft horses to the farm, Champ and Peanut Butter (aka Petey)! This duo will work both as a team and with Rocky, the blonde Haflinger who many of you have seen at the farm.

Winter Share Week 9!
This week I was fortunate to take a trip to Vermont and visit friends and family. Fresh, local greens are difficult to come by in the winter up there. It is certainly a different climate and made me remember how lucky we are to have fresh greens year-round! I am retu1 read more »

It might not look like much now, but this section of leaf-covered ground is the garlic crop for 2020! Rocky and Toad spent the past few days pulling the spreader full of leaves, mulching the garlic. The leaves do an excellent job of smothering the early spring weeds, which are one of garlic's main1 read more »

There has been some confusion about the pick up times for Bel Air now that the winter market has ended. BEL AIR pick up hours are 10 to 10:30 am for the remainder of the winter season!
