Spring Has Sprung






We are quite busy around here on the farm lately. Spring weather also brings market season. Not only do we need to still get the weeding, planting, picking and succession planting done, we still need to get everything ready for markets! We've had 2 weddings this past winter therefore losing two very valuable members of the farm. Jeffrey married Lydia on December 4 and they now live not quite a mile down the road in a little farmhouse. Lydia works for us but Jeffrey works in a metal shop in Jamesport. Shayla married Jesse from Canada on Easter morning and she moved away after returning from their honeymoon.
We've been busy harvesting lots of vegetables and now strawberries are upon us. It's also bedding plant season and we're knee deep in those as well. If you need any plants for your garden, we'll we've probably got them. We tried out several different things like potato starts, green beans, snap peas, scallions, celery and strawberries. If you can plant it, we probably grow it!
Come out to any of our participating markets and visit us and go home with some fresh vegetables for supper!
