Farm Happenings at Wild Coyote Farm
Ramblings of a Gardener
Identifying the source of plant issues can be quite the tangled mess. For instance, we found some spider mites on the cucumber plants and covering the calendulas that are at the end of the rows in the greenhouse. This was identified around the same time that I received my plant sap analysis back fr1 read more »
Rain!
We got a bit over an inch of rain this week and was definitely a blessing! We are still in the thick of spring crops and we aren’t seeing allot of variation in our product, but rest assured we are busy making sure that the summer crops are coming along swimmingly.

Farm Stuff
Here at the farm we are enjoying watching the fresh lambs bounce around on healthy pasture. Two years ago, this pasture would have been a heavily tilled and sprayed conventional soybean field. Today, that same field is thriving with mixed species of annual and perennial forage crops, providing both1 read more »
First boxes
Delivery is restarting! Spring is looking good, but the first few boxes are always a challenge as we work out the kinks and build out the inventory.

But, as we get into the last couple weeks we definitely keep an eye on it to make sure we maximize our harvest out of the field before it’s all tied up by frost. We are1 read more »
Fall is here
Fall is here! Along with it comes pumpkins,squash, potatoes, and onions! It’s a great opportunity to make some fresh stew or a roast with all the fixin’s. But don’t forget the salad! Salad is especially delicious this time of year, if mixed greens are your jamb, than get mesclun!1 read more »
UFO
Farming is a passion, but by this time in the season it does seem to wear on a bit. We do get the opportunity to occasionally see new things and try and identify why things do what they do. One such example of that is this week’s photo. I’m going to let you all identify this pretty litt1 read more »
