The Weeding Crew

Weeding season has arrived! They are still manageable so far, but we’d happily trade the cool weather which makes them stay manageable for the heat the veggies need. Things are about 3 weeks behind where they were last year at this time. We still have adequate supply to start our CSA, but not enough to

Happy Easter!

Farm life in March: Onions growing nicely in the shed, Myrah making Bird’s Nest Cookies for the school bake sale, and I processed the last of the hull-less seed pumpkins last week for our pantry. (We are growing some again this year, look forward to them in your September or October share bags!). Hi Veggie
