Indoor Farming
The tomatoes in the hoop house were starting to get a bit unruly so we needed to instill some discipline yesterday. The story follows these all important messages. We are still taking VeggieShare orders. I am wonderfully surprised at the number of recent sales many of which were referrals! But we aren’t done yet. We […]
Potato Planting Party
The weather looks good for planting potatoes on Saturday, April 29 from 1:00 until done (check the web site before coming out still though)! We could use all the help we can get. There is a small window of dry weather today through late Saturday/early Sunday before another round of wet weather moves in. We’d […]
The First Sixty-Six Days
As has been customary since the Roosevelt administration, we farmers like to reflect back on the first 66 days of the current season to assess our success and use the information to forecast how the season will turn out. Why 66? Because that is when this newsletter is written. If we wrote it tomorrow it […]
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?
I discussed in a previous newsletter many years ago that where physicists deal with matter and anti-matter we farmers deal with matter and doesn’t-matter. 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 […]
