Ah, it is good to welcome October, even with some chilly rain. As much as I LOVE September weather, the September workload always exceeds available hours and leaves this set of farmers weary, behind, and questioning why we do this. And this rain is SO needed, by the land and it gives our team that […]

Ode to Fall Veggies
October 5, 2016 – 7:10 pm
I must admit, I am such a four season gal. As each new season shows its colors, scents and weather, my spirits brighten. There is so much hope at the beginning of each season – hope for things either not achieved or not achievable in the season that is ending. Fall is no different for me. […]
Carrot Harvest
October 21, 2015 – 8:16 pm
The harvest of the storage carrots has begun and they are gorgeous! It seems some of our changes this year are paying off including the bed shaper, biochar and foliar feeding. Carrots are one of those elusive ones during the growing season. Not only are they underground, but due to carrot rust fly they also […]

Ok, yes, we could be considered a bit weather obsessed. We all check the weather multiple times a day, have our various favorite info sources for different bits and are ALWAYS wishing we could just see what was coming a bit further ahead.

All Hands on Deck!
September 3, 2014 – 10:33 pm
Andrew started his Monday morning by revving up the 29 horses! He and the orange Kubota circled out to various fields with various implements, clipping the grasses and weeds on the edge of gardens… all have kept fast growth through August, coaxed on by nice rains and plenty of sunshine. Later it was the potato […]
