Time for CSA 2010!

It may only be January, but it is time to think Spring! Here at the farm, Spring has been on our minds for a while now! We are now taking members for the 2010 CSA season. A CSA Membership means you receive a weekly box of fresh produce straight from the farm! You get to know your farmers and are sure of the quality. We will be offering a wide variety of produce again this year. Some of the great foods include; Lettuce Mix, Carrots, Potatoes, Beans, Broccoli, Peas, Strawberries, Sweet Corn, Melons, Raspberries, Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Zucchini, Squash, and many more! We are hoping for Apples & Cherries this year. We are planning on growing a lot more in quantity this year as well. It should be a great year! We also have the advantage of our new greenhouse, which should ensure earlier harvests. If you are interested in joining, or have any questions, please send us an email!

2009 was quite a year!

Quite a year indeed! We had so much going on this past year it was amazing! We added 25 “New Hamps” chickens to the farm. They lay beautiful brown eggs and bring plenty of laughter to each day. They have the whole farm to run around and eat bugs, and they love it! Their eggs reflect the richness of their diet and are delicious! The cows are doing fine and we still have 13, although I think we will have a calf or two this spring. We finished construction on our Passive Solar Greenhouse about a 2 months ago. It is a wonderful place to raise plants! It is a straw bale building with a south face of window from floor to peak. The clay on the straw bales gives it such a warm glow, it is always pleasing to be in. We are hoping to be able to provide our community with fresh winter greens and other veggies (and herbs!). We are in the process of experimenting right now. The weather outlook is cold, so we will see! We are getting ready to open this year’s CSA membership. I am sure this year will be even more amazing! I will post more soon!
