Leaping Into Spring (in our minds, at least)

We’ve got spring on our minds! It won’t be warm, or non-windy, enough for us to plant outdoors for a while, but we are starting some brand new crops in our brand new high tunnel. We’re hopeful that we’ll have spinach and carrots for the early weeks of our CSA shares come May! We also planted arugula and French breakfast radishes that we hope will be ready for our Waverly Market pop up on Saturday March 16th!

We’re savoring the tail end of winter so that we can tackle a few more projects while also resting just a bit more. We have some clean up projects in the farm yard to finish up, plus some tree planting to complete. These super windy days make me excited for the future when these trees have grown up to do their job as a windbreak.

Our new tunnel went up in record time thanks to Bryan and the crew! It has fine mesh netting along the sides to exclude pests, mainly cucumber beetles, which should allow us to have cucumbers later into the summer this year. Fingers crossed that it works - cucumbers are my favorite!

If you’re dreaming of spring today too, head over to our Plant Store to treat yourself to an amazing garden this year!
