Whats happening on the farm?
The fields are filling up and there is lots to do. It has already been a busy spring, with our constant expansion projects, fertilizing, prepairing the ground, seeding, transplanting, weeding and a long list of odds and ends, thats a full week as it is. With the weather finally on our side and the green's and veggies looking great, harvesting has started and will basically double the work load at this point. Its the most exciting time of year as everything you have planned starts to take shape and all the hard work starts to pay off. I am happy to say that our early sugar snap peas are full of flowers that should be forming pea pods very soon, and we are seeing our first rows of haricot vers coming up (the first two seedings rotted in the ground due to low soil temps), the lettuce and salad greens are all looking fantastic, and with the field full of different colors and beutiful plants it really looks great, and I can really feel the energy coming off the farm for the first time since last fall. The C.S.A. program is starting up this week and it is really nice to be supplying food to all my customers again, I say this every year, but its true, "this is going to be our biggest and best year ever", thanks for helping us do it!
