Planting Broccoli

April 1st, 2009
Four Frog Farm | Blog

We are planting broccoli now. It’s the first vegetable that we’ve planted in the field so far. All said we’re transplanting about 1/3 acre. Right now it’s all going in by hands and knees. We hope to get an automatic transplanter for the tractor, but that is down the road.

The fields look so much bigger after they’ve been tilled and beds have been shaped. It’s striking how much larger the 10 acres are looking now. In fact, it’s a little bothersome. This is the first time I’ve wondered if we’re actually going to get everything done that we need to.

Sorry for no pics yet. Once I get a camera I’ll get on that.

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.
