Weather Delays
Who ever thought airline travel and farming had so much in common? But first, some of the usual and unusual announcements. Potato Planting Party! Anyone interested in doing some farmin’? We are planning on planting the potatoes on Saturday April 29th from 1:00 until done. This is a great way to see the farm, learn […]
Re-Accommodated
Due to our greenhouse being overbooked we had to re-accommodate some of our transplants to our unheated cold frame. But before we go into the details, lets have a few announcements! We are still taking orders for 2017 VeggieShares. Keep spreading the word! Referrals are always the best form of advertising and many of you […]
Who’s on Second?
A couple quick announcements then on to whatever news there is. In my survey this past year I asked if anyone would be interested in having their place of employment be a drop site. It was a good question and I had a couple of positive responses. Unfortunately when I formulated the question I didn’t […]
Farm Presser
First a few announcements then on to farm news. We have pricing for all our products (except BreadShare see below) in our online store so feel free to place your orders. There are package deals available as well. If you put down a deposit already and want a package deal you can order it through […]
Founding Fathers
First and most important time wise: If you intend to purchase SeafoodShare please note that we need your order by February 15th. Yes, February. The fishermen and fisherwomen are out catching the Yellow Eye right now and need a commitment from us! We don’t need you to pay for it right away but we do […]
What’s the Alternative?

In the case of matter and anti-matter when the two collide energy is released. With matter and doesn’t-matter their collision doesn’t result in anything interesting, however matter and doesn’t-matter can change between […]
Repeal and Replace
As I mentioned in last year’s post, now that we have our farm systems running smoothly we need to make changes. We need to repeal and replace. Seems to be the thing to do these days. Our first order of business is to change things up a bit with regard to pick-ups, harvests and other […]
Survey Says take 2
If you don’t have time to read the whole newsletter at least read the “Item 1” and the “Last Item”; they both request your feedback. After my last newsletter about this season’s survey I received a number of responses from you that made me think that you felt that I felt the survey responses were all negative. […]
Survey Says! Take 1
Every year I do a survey of our members to better understand how we did the past year so that we can make changes for future years. During the season I try to get a sense as to how the farm is performing by talking to people in the pick-up tent but this of course […]
