Chipping Away at the Fall Projects

October 25th, 2009
DeepSeeded Community Farm | Blog

What a month!  On top of the still-abundant harvests, there is so much to do to get ready for winter.  The crew, the interns, and I have all been working hard and making serious progress.  We’re almost done digging potatoes, the winter squash is in, all of the outdoor fall/winter crops are planted, the garlic is in, beds are ready for next  year’s strawberries, mulch & drip lines are out of the field, old crops are under, aisles are tilled, row-cover is on…

But we’re not quite there yet.  Hopefully this week we’ll plant all of the cover crop, turn around and plant greenhouse beds with winter greens, dig the remaining potatoes, bring in the rest of the irrigation pipes, etc.

Just another week or two of pushing really hard before things begin to slowdown grin

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.
