Things are drying up here on the farm after that rain we had last week. Hopefully looking forward to a little more this weekend. I have baby chickens running around our yard. They will start laying in about 5 months, but in the mean time our full grown chickens are kicking back into gear. We are looking forward to fulfilling all egg subscriptions within the next few month here. We are also upgrading their coops with new nest boxes and looking forward to a solar project to keep them warm next cold season. We couldn’t do it without the support from our CSA program so THANK YOU!
Winter time is spent pruning trees, getting land ready for the spring and cleaning up here on the farm. We are looking forward to broccoli, sugar snap peas and more cauliflower coming soon here.
For anyone who was expecting blueberries, we fell a little short with them this week and could only put them in the Larges Shares. We will be putting some crunchy, sweet and tart pink lady apples in the box though. We hope you enjoy. I already see buds on our apple trees in our orchard. REALLY looking forward to having those in the box.
