Spring sun and warmth seem to be settling in (perhaps I shouldn’t write this) and the plants are happy.  Plenty of good fresh, stored and frozen eating from the farm.  The new online farmstand is running well.  Let us know if you have any troubles or questions as it is a learning curve for us […]

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 […]

Welcome May!  The bit more warmth and sun is helping the greens move forward, so there is plentiful salad mix this week and a good bit of chard & spinach, more kal-sparagus and plentiful herbs as well as some kale (less than other things, but we do have some lacinato kale frozen).    Check out […]

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 […]

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, […]

We are settling into this new world of packing orders for everyone and have updated our order and delivery process. Check out order, pick-up and delivery details. Seasonal highlight of the week…the begining of the Kale-sparagus, truly one of the Spring ephemerals. We hope to roll out in the next week (?), a web order […]

We will GROW through this

April 5, 2020 – 3:06 pm

Spring is advancing and our farm team is doing all we can to exploit the sun’s increasing available hours. Still, on the chilly and gray days when April (snow) showers prevail, it increases the pandemic’s grip on mood and mind. But as Phil Scott and so many strong governors and medical leaders remind us daily, […]

March=Spring in the Hoophouse

March 5, 2020 – 3:24 pm

Ok, there may still be two feet of snow on the ground outside, but Spring has clearly arrived in the hoophouse. Here is the proof – transplanting! Some images from Darienne as she and other farmers made way from some older spinach plants and transplanted some youngsters into the hoophouse! The season of lots of […]

All in a Week

May 21, 2019 – 10:07 am

May is busy. May is diverse. But we don’t always have 2.5 inches of snow and 80 degrees within the same week. Mother nature is humbling, always. Safe to say, it keeps us on our toes. Here are some snippets from the past week of farm life. From snow to pasture; winter bedded pack to […]
