Thank you!

We’ve had a great few days here on our farm.  We thank our customers in our communities of Bainbridge Island and Poulsbo, WA.  It’s good to have all the support we can get. We’re working every single bit we can to bring you our heirloom biodynamically planted produce.  Once again, love following the biodynamic calendar.  Really looking forward to learning more about using biodynamic methods.  So far I’m digging on the methods of Elliott Coleman combined with Biodyanmics.

Got the truck stuck in the mud on Friday. Fortunately we had some help out in the form of a lovely couple from Bainbridge named Heather and Shawn. Heather and Sara worked on transplanting broccoli while Jared and Shawn tried for 3 harrowing hours to try to unstick the truck, but to no avail. Jared ended up having to call a tow truck with a wench to pull it out.

Let’s talk Market #5!  We do two markets, Sara’s in Poulsbo and Jared’s in Bainbridge.

We had Tomato starts for the 3rd week.  Going good all around.  Our plants look really healthy and people notice.  Feels great.

We brought to market, in an heirloom variety selection:

• a good number of Lettuce in three varieties.
• bags of spinach which contain a mix of three different varieties.

(So far all varieties are growing well in our double dug raised beds from farming year #1.  We are having problems with one variety not germinating well, it happens to be a year old packet though)

• radishes

• broccoli raab (eating some tonight)

• tatsoi

• kale in two varieties

• salad mix

We have more spinach and lettuce to harvest if your interested and live in our community please email us .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

OTHER NEWS!

We have our electrical fence in!  Time to put it up.  We lost a duck, I saved a feather.  I love and respect all of our animals very much and we are trying our best at making sure they have the best protection.  We are enjoying have these animals to care for each and every day.  I love seeing the ducks go on their crazy runs and wing flapping bursts.  Chickens so far are chickens.  I saw my first cock fight today.  My first owl and bat too!

PS: our camera is still down, and our software isn’t updated enough for the flip camera downloads, but we’re working on it…
