Freshman Farmer | New Organic Farms Set Roots

Already that time

It’s amazing that the first Farmers Market of the season (here in Fort Bragg) is in two days. We’ll be starting out with a decent amount of greens, but less variety than we had been hoping. However, seedlings are going strong in the greenhouse, and lots of lettuce, chard, kale, spinach, and arugula are ready (or nearly ready) in the ground. Happy spring!

How I love Ft. Bragg. If I were closer I would be going to that Farmer’s Market, but I am closer to Mt. Lassen and we have a small farmers Market here in Shingletown that I hope to participate in a few years from now. We are just starting an Orchard and gardens on our new property. What a fun adventure!

Hi Ferne - We love it here, too! We hope you are enjoying your farming adventure as much as we are.

Solomon - We do have a facebook page, but haven’t put much time into it. Not on twitter yet, and although we have considered a regular website… we haven’t yet put in the time! It’s on the “long list” of to-do’s, though.

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.
