Backyard BountyCommunity Supported Agriculture March 16 SpringSpring is just around the corner. The snow is finally melted.
I'm sure we will have more before we are finished. But, I am
thankful for the warm days. The clean up is beginning. The
snow plows have dumped lots of gravel on the lawn again and
this year they dug ups big chunks of grass and dirt as well.
I've started lettuce, arugula, onions, etc in the green house.
Its time to begin starting the rest of the seeds.
Our first work day for work shares will be sometime in April.
I will let you know more as it gets closer.
December 21 Cookbook - updateThe recipes coming in are great. Please continue sending them.

July 13 July UpdateStrawberry picking is finished. We had lots of people pick this year. The berries
were wonderful. Raspberries will be ready in a week or two. Call if you are
interested in picking.
Chickens are ready. For those of you who ordered them let me know when you
would like one delivered. If you have not ordered any - they are available - call
for info.
The farm is very dry (no rain for at least 3 weeks) and things are growing
very slowly. We are watering, but it is not the same as rain. We are working
on our rain catchment system. By next year we hope to be catching rain water
from the barn roof and using it for irrigation.
May updateMay is coming to an end and it has been a verry busy month. We purchased a tractor this year and found lots of uses for it. We have taken the large shed on the corner down. We plan to recycle as much of it as we can. The new building will house a market stand and a packing shed.
Planting is well under way in the greenhouse and the fields. Heirloom tomato plants are available for sale.
June 27th is the open house pot luck and strawberry picking. April 20 First Work Days Sat & Sun April 25-26th Saturday April 25th and Sunday April 26th will be our first official work days of the season. We will be doing general clean up, digging and potting perrenials, building pens, planting onions and potatoes, weeding strawberries and garlic, and anything else that needs to be done. We will be working every weekend after that. You may also work during the week. Remember you must sign up for at least one work day per month until you hours are completed. Bring rakes, gloves, weed diggers - it you have them. Volunteers are welcome. It takes about 1 hour to get here from Milwaukee. I will send you a list of phone numbers/emails for the workshare people so you may carpool if you choose. If you do NOT want you number on the list let me know. |
Email me with your schedule so I can add to calendar. Check your work days for carpooling
