This Week’s Newsletter
This is the time of year when I run out of things to talk about. With the farm going on twelve years now there isn’t much left to say. So I typically put out a request to our members to ask questions. Something you are curious about may be of interest to another member of […]
The Yin and the Yang
I’ve said it many times before, in farming sometimes you have to work outside; sometimes you get to work outside. We’ve had both these last two days. My plan based on Sunday’s forecast was to sweat profusely on Monday getting the harvesting done then spend the day inside on Tuesday following the horrible rainstorms predicted […]
Week 5 Newsletter
No time to write the newsletter yesterday. With the nice weather on Tuesday I spent the whole day farming and couldn’t find the time to break away to write this.

And They’re Off…
Just a bunch of stuff to tied us over until the 40 days and 40 nights are done. This is the first week of the season! It is interesting how the various first weeks have gone over the last 12 years. Some seasons the first week is great. Everything timed out perfectly. The weather cooperated. […]
How Sweet It Isn’t
This was a great week for farmin’! With the nice weather at the end of the week we got a lot done. With the exception of our sweet potatoes (don’t get me started on the sweet potatoes), everything has been transplanted into the field. That’s not to say we are done transplanting for the year. […]
