It has been a few busy weeks here at the farm which might explain our prolonged absence sense our last update. In any event, our Spring 2011 CSA program kicked off last week and seems to have received good reviews. Directly below is a photo of what full share holders received in their boxes beginning this past week April 4th. Partial Shares received about 1/3 less.
 |
| Two bunches of spinach, 3-4 medium sized spring onions, micro greens 3 or 4 heads of broccoli, 2 bags of salad mix, pint of strawberries, approx. 1# sugar snap peas |
 |
| A few weeks back we poured a nice size slab for our soon to be packing shed and walk-in cooler/freezer |
 |
| We had some extra ready mix left over, so we poured a sloping wash station where we will be able to wash our baby field greens. |
 |
| Slow going, but we're making progress. Above is a 16x`18 walk-in unit, one half is a cooler and the other a freezer. |
 |
| In spite of the drought, our veggies are hanging in there. Above are some spring onions; thirsty but hanging in there. |
|
 |
| Summer is a coming! Piggies can't sweat and can sunburn too, so they need protection from the hot sun. Consequently we've moved our pigs from the open winter pasture areas to the shady woods. Above is junior resting his head on a "senior fellow." |
 |
| Above are some red beets planted on raised beds. Even the weeds are having difficulty. |
 |
| Our pastured chicken coups sitting on wheat pasture. Water twice a day required for these chicks. We'll have to provide them shade soon. |
 |
| It may be hard to see in the photo above, but we've got overhead irrigation going almost non-stop. |
