Spring and its new beginnings are blooming at the farm. This past week has seen several new beginnings including: potatoes, tomatoes, peas and the first carrots in the ground! Glance into the near hoophouse (that just a few weeks ago housed goats and hens) to enjoy the site of tomatoes happily in the ground! […]
