It is very exciting to see the progress on the hoop house! With the help of Casey and one of our worker-members, Wendell, the last of the hoops went up today. Now the end walls need to be built, the baseboards and mid-boards added and it is plastic-pulling time! We’ll need some extra hands for [...]

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 [...]

Nothing Says “Autumn” Like a Pumpkin!
I really enjoy days like these, at least until the sun falls off the horizon at about 6:00. I miss the long days! I have decided, though that a pumpkin’s purpose is to put smiles on our faces. They even feel happy when you hold them! We have has a nice week of pumpkin [...]

Getting Ready for ‘Bike the Barns’ (and the rest of a busy weekend!)
This weekend, High Meadow Farm will be the first rest stop on the big ‘Bike the Barns’ Bike ride – the biggest fundraiser that MACSAC puts on for the year. They say that there is nothing that we really need to do except give tours to the bikers if they are interested. Then these porta-potties [...]

Summer’s racing by- again
Is it just me, or does the summer season seem to be shorter every year? Even with the sweltering heat, I am not ready to let it go yet! Our Summer Celebration will be held next weekend at the farm and then it’s back to school for kids and teachers and the school buses will [...]
