Farm News

The ground has been broken on our third hoop house/high tunnel.  Unfortunately, that ground contains a LOT of big rocks.  Christina needed to use the tractor to assist in getting this rock out of the way.

Our current high tunnels have received a lot of attention this week.  Summer crops continue to be removed and fall/winter crops are taking their place.  Below is a photo of the first planting of head lettuce.

This row once contained Lisianthus, but now that the cooler weather has arrived, it is time to replace it with a winter crop of Arugula.  First step is to remove the old crop (and weeds) and pitchfork the now-empty row.  Chemical-free soil amendments will be added and the row will be raked to be prepared for seeding.  Here is photo of yours truly after Christina and I finished the pitchforking.

See you at the market!
