Scenes from June 2024

Baby blueberries. So cute.

Farm stand is shaping up!

A guy and his tractor, June edition.

This water tank is proving to be super handy...

it is also useful for drowning the sun!

But really - we love the sun. We now have solar power at the south farm stand.

Boxed water really IS better - can't believe how tasty this is!

Overgrown asparagus in our lower field. Sadly, we only harvested it once.

Sunset over another day at the farm.

What's happening in June?

Everything. Everything is happening in June.

Mowing, weeding, tending the plants.

We are gathering things for the farm stands - and making new friends along the way. Boxed water will replace single use plastic water bottles... which beyond being eco-friendly it is so tasty. And we're excited to be bringing in a few guest vendors on weekends (see our events page). Ice cream and smoothies and baked goods!

Solar power will run our remote farm stand in the south field. This allows us to power our credit card processors, fridge, fan - and the best part? It is silent. Like the sun.

Scenes from April and May 2024

Our new logo, made into this cool sign - thanks to CB SignWorks and etsy!

A little girl with a long walk home.

Experimenting with a mason bee chalet from Crown Bees.

Did you know - mason bees are very efficient pollinators? We hatched 40 cocoons but so far, they have not taken up residence.

Still smiling!

What's happening in April and May?

Everything plant health care. As the ground has thawed, the buds unfold and emerge. Plants we worried weren't thriving are back. Plants we worried we'd pruned too hard are happy. The air is literally buzzing with bees and anticipation.

And equipment... we're all about machines now. Farm equipment comes with idosyncracies - a loose connection that needs a clamp when it's raining, the gas pedal that needs three, not four, pumps to get things started. So, while we inherited a number of functioning pieces, we're transitioning to a lot of new equipment. This will ensure that when the time comes we'll know the trick to get things running. And, when it gets a dent, we'll know how it got there.
