The end of September is already approaching! Instead of rotating beds from one crop to another, we cleanup the fields, and get ready for winter as our planting migrates into the cold frames and greenhouses. Over the next four weeks the planted crops we pick before Christmas and on October 15th those things we plant are generally […]
One of the first things we purchased when we started farming was irrigation. This investment seems to be one of the best made as each year there are periods like this when we need to make sure all our crops get a good drink. This week we will transplant and direct seed a lot of the […]

March is here, and since we have more sunny days the greenhouses are really starting to grow. Our Lettuce Mix and Spinach will soon be a weekly regular in the produce bags. The produce bag this week will have two new additions, Carrots and Cilantro! We had this idea that more greenhouse space would ease our […]
Winter is so much nicer with some sun shining, or maybe it is the fact this morning is not -20 and rather enjoyable. Our first cold cold cold weather snap let us see how the Greenhouses managed, and we made it. We did get a little frost happening and had to finish installing and turn on […]
