CSA Appication Deadline Extended till April 30th!!

  • April 8, 2011 10:22 am

There has been numorious late requests to sign up for the CSA in’11. Many are just finding out about us via media exposure; so after crunching the numbers , our feeling is that we can still add a limited amount of members for the 20 week program & are extending the sign up deadline till April 30th. If there are any questions, please respond here at our sight.

As far as weather.. it has been a slow spring thus far; however, on the nice days like yesterday the CSA volunteers have been eager to embrace, making great progress while also inspiring this farmer about the up & coming season of growth & harvest. Our new fruit trees came in as well yesterday, so along with planting these young marvels, we weeded & mulched a strawberry patch, planted a field of lettuce; as well, before the sun set transplanted Kohlrabi out in the field. Not bad for a days labor. 🙂

1st Field Plantings Have Begun!!!

With just a few warm sunny days the farm has beckoned her stewart to till the land and plant. The plows were well welcomed; turning the soft dark lome. The robins scurried about gorging themselves on the earth worms that abound. After plowing we worked the soil into seed beds, planting our Irish onions & red potatoes. Spinach, beets, carrots were also planted, and of course Snap Peas. With dusk pleading my retire, I looked back on a satisfying and productive day. Tomorrow: I plan on cultivating the garlic & spinach planted last fall for an early spring harvest. There is also still plenty of compost needing spred. The green houses are also brimming, no better time to transplant lettce in the field. Time is of the essense. The inspiration of one true farmer more than equals the robins joy of the 1st worm found in spring.
