Green and Grey
Way down inside the hoop house, under the plastic and the row cover is a bright spot in the dreary landscape. This lush beautiful green is the first thing we crave when the cold weather keeps the other greens in limbo. Just a few nice warm days and the Claytonia is back in business! Claytonia, [...]

A Lovely Winter Day
Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed the extended warm spell (I went for a long walk in a tee shirt last Wednesday!) However, I have to admit that winter’s late arrival brings me equal joy. Now that we have 6 or so inches of white fluffy snow and an excuse to stay inside and [...]

Taking shape now
Slow but sure, the hoop house is going up! Matt and Mike worked on it on Sunday, after the ground dried up a bit. After the hoops are up, there is wiggle wire to install, base boards and mid-boards plus the ends need to be built. AND THEN…a double layer of 100′ long plastic needs [...]

I can almost see it!
It was a great day to get started on the hoop house. Mike, Matt and Casey set 52 ground posts today and we’ll be ready to begin assembly on Saturday! While they were working on that, I bagged beautiful yellow storage onions and put them where they will be safely stored until they find good [...]

Hoop House Excitement!
Our Hoop house arrived at 10:00 this morning. I am glad Mike was there with a plan for unloading it. One of the pallets weighed 2,400 lbs and the other 1,200 lbs, more than my little Kubota is accustomed to lifting! Tugging it off of the truck and onto our wagon was no easy feat, [...]

We had a great and dedicated work-force this year and it was our pleasure to have workers return and new workers become part of the farm crew. We also enjoyed meeting everyone that stopped out to meet us and came to the farm events. You helped [...]
