Summer's coming!
We still have two Spring pickups/deliveries until Summer officially beings on June 21st. If you haven't signed up for our summer shares yet, do so soon! All of our tomatoes and peppers are now planted, plus cucumbers and summer squash. The weed battle is in full force but so far we're h1 read more »
Blooms, greens + lovin' lettuce
This is week #3 of our Spring Shares and it's finally starting to feel like spring! We have a wide variety of greens, all growing great; we'll have baby beets, turnips and rutabaga before too long; our first plantings of tomatoes and peppers are in; and our trees are all covered in beautiful b1 read more »
Beautiful weather = the veggies are finally growing!
Ahhh!! Finally! The weather has been cooperating as of late! And we're slowly getting back up to speed after such a long delay waiting for winter to exit. We still won't have salad greens or rhubarb (in two weeks, though, we will!) but we have lots of other yummy greens to share with you this1 read more »
Finally! Time to get to work!!
We've been more than ready to get out in the garden to start getting some work done... and we're finally able to! The night temps are high enough now that we've got our first plantings in the ground in the hoophouse. We're grateful for all the snow and moisture, but it lasted much longe1 read more »

Winter Wonderland
Happy January! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We enjoyed hunkering down with the kids and playing lots of games, reading books and just relaxing together! Now that January is upon us, our gears start turning about the new year and season. We're very excited about all the snow we've rece1 read more »
Winter "Work"
There's not much going on around the farm and garden these days, but we do a bit here and there... Mostly we've been making sure everything is winterized and moving things under shelter so they don't get wet and snowed on, tucking them away for the winter. :) For our December offerings1 read more »
