Sugar Snap Peas

March 24th, 2009
EarthDance Farm | Blog

Today Julie and I met at the farm to try to get the peas in before the rain hit. The weatherman had us believing a big storm was coming in.. so we were eager to get them planted so that the rain could just water them in.
It didn’t rain today.. was windy, but no rain.
We got over 500 ft of sugar snap peas in, and have one more lb of seed to plant. I remember last year picking the sugar snap peas past their prime because it heated up so quickly.. I was just picking them for myself at that point - John (the farmer I was working with) wouldn’t sell them because they weren’t sweet enough!

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
