Watching our young animals with their sows, does, or hens over the years always makes us extra appreciative of all that mothers do around the world and across species to keep us all going. Here are a few photos reminding us of all that the maternal side offers our world from this past week….and past […]

Happy Mother’s Day!?!?! Nothing like May snowstorms & arctic cold…..to add some challenge to the early season.  It is at these moments we are grateful for our hoophouses and for our inclination to not push the season to aggressively.  That said, we did cover the teeny onion seedlings that went into the field earlier this […]

Stronger Together

April 27, 2020 – 12:45 pm

The work of staying healthy in community Food crops get viruses also, as well as bacterial and fungal infections. Often insect pressures on plants piggy back on such stressors, along with nutritional imbalances. Chemical agriculture attempts to cheat these forces with fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Their positive impacts are short lived and myriad negative […]

Ah..April Sun, Rain & Snow!  Keeping us on our toes.  We have a nice mix of fresh greens this week, but we need a bit more sun and warmth for them to totally take off.  But we also still have lots of frozen kale & spinach for those recipes where you’ll cook it anyway!  Check […]

Origin of “Don’t Eat Like a Pig”

April 20, 2020 – 11:09 am

Perhaps with folks spending more time at home, eating even more meals together, the phrase, “Don’t Eat Like a Pig” has been repeated more often. There are many disparaging sayings that reference pigs, some I believe are unwarranted. And for years of raising pigs, I even thought this one was a bit overstated. Then came […]

Mid-April!  While the snow has cleared from the fields, and our hoophouses are full of amazing colors, it is still only mid-April.  This means all of our fresh greens are coming ONLY from our 2 hoophouses, and as you’ve all noticed it has been a cold early April so while the plants are doing great, […]
