Another Blast from Old Man Winter






We have had to cancel for the second time this season. Snow, ice and terrible winds are predicted yet again. Just when things start looking nice and the sun comes out, snow is turning to slush, and temps. are rising, that's when it hits again. We just take one day at a time and try to make the right decisions about whether to go to market or not. Our safety and the safety of our customers is of the utmost importance.
What is new on the farm? Well we have a new addition to our farmyard. He doesn't do a lot of work, sleeps alot, makes a lot of whining, demands alot of attention and follows the boys everywhere outside. His name is Sherman and he's a Blue Heeler pup. On the farms you just have to keep a couple of good dogs around to deter the unwanted preditors. We've actually seen a cougar, bobcat and of course the normal racoons, deer and woodchucks. With all our chickens and baby chicks on the way, we try to keep the big animals at a distance.
Things are starting to grow in the greenhouses for spring already. Tomatoes, peppers, rosemary, lavender, flowers and eggplant are just a few. Hard to believe it's time for this already. We just keep telling ourselves that Spring is just around the corner, and it really is.
We are in the process of starting our very first website. We've never felt we needed it before but due to the increased phone calls, emails and letters, we have decided to post our information on the website for all to check. I'm not computer saavy so please be patient with us. It might take a while to finally get this up and running. I try to do a little on it every night, hoping to finish it in a couple of weeks! (sad huh?)
