Radishes, Arugula, Asparagus and Spinach

The spring crops have started to roll in from our greenhouse! Here’s a little harvest Myrah and I did yesterday morning for a potluck we attended. The asparagus has been slow to start but is growing well now and we’re picking a few pounds each day. Radishes are *just* starting, there will be more for

Onions Done-ions

It is my great joy each year to grow onions. They are the longest crop we grow: We seed them first, in early March or late February, and then they all get transplanted by hand into the field. I love transplanting, and my hands are in great shape this year thanks to all my winter

Countdown to Lettuce

I ran into my friend Chris at the grocery store last week and the first thing she asked was “How long do I have to wait until you have lettuce?” I had hoped to get the first lettuce planting set out this week. It was too windy to lay drip tape yesterday and it’s a

May the Fourth

…be with you! I had never seen Star Wars until I watched the entire series over Christmas 2020 and I still don’t really get it, but I still make this joke every year! Since my last post had no current photos, this one will be only photos! Myrah and I went for a walk after

Spring is springing!

We got the first seeds in the ground officially yesterday, so I’m going to call it and say Spring has arrived! Our next public pickup is Saturday May 13th at Walker’s Greenhouse from 10 – 6. Visit our store to see what we’ve got and to place your order! Veggie Lovers CSA registration is still

Snow day!

A late April snow storm has closed schools today, and the farm is under a blanket of white again… Which means I can keep knitting, doesn’t it?! At least it gives me time to do an update to share with you! First, the chicks. This is day 15 or 16 of life for them. They

Caramelized Beets Recipe

You know winter is really dragging on when Teri is trying out new recipes for beets! Most of my readers know by now that beets aren’t a hit in our household. Jon was forced to clean his plate as a kid and remembers swallowing them whole, just to make them go away. I don’t remember

April Farm Update

Welcome, April! We’ve had a busy Spring Break this week, filled with farm visitors and fun at the Winter Fair! April is the waiting month. We are close to being able to start planting, but we are waiting for the snow to melt, waiting for the soil to warm up, and waiting for the veggies

Leeks Peeking!

A couple years ago, Mom recorded a really cute video of Myrah inspecting her onion trays and exclaiming “onions peeking!”. We’ve got onions, and more obviously, leeks peeking out now: Yum, yum, yum! Makes me dream about next season’s Potato & Leek soup, Cock-a-Leekie Pie, and grilled leeks on the BBQ. We’re growing half as

CSA Family

Brandon Errand Run aka running into our CSA family: Jon has decided to get his motorcycle license. Yesterday he did his written test so that he could take the next step, completing a one-day course once the snow melts. My Dad has always loved motorcycles and has an extensive collection of rare restored bikes. He’s
