Spring is farm improvement time.
Concrete pad and pallet wall. Keeping fertility on the farm. Or, as we joked when we were putting it together, this wall is to keep manure in – not to keep people out.
Produce For Sale
Our current crop of black beans, heirloom corn, and hard red winter wheat is currently available.

When I had my first kid, I thought I would just wear him around the farm while I worked. Little did I know it wouldn’t be that easy. I do still take the kids with me sometimes, but I have to be prepared and much less ambitious.Just thinking back to the time when the only reason I ever wore a mask was for cleaning out a bin. And then for a while we saved the N-95s for healthcare workers and only wore cloth ones in the bin. Sure was glad I had a “real” mask today.It’s Watch Out For Clueless Juvenile Bird Season around here.

Events
Our annual Farm Tour & Tea is cancelled for 2019 due to an extremely wet planting season (we expect that some things might not be planted by the last week in June). We hope to host a potluck party on the farm later in the season instead. As soon as we have set a date, we’ll let you know here and via social media.
