Chickens At Four Frog

[slideshow id=174]

Hey All,

My apologies for being a flaky blogger farmer.  I’m trying to reform my ways.  I guess the long and the short of it this spring is the same as a lot of people - it’s pretty rainy and planting has been slow.  The rain is a blessing however.  It’s just hard to realize that when your greenhouse seedlings are outgrowing their containers and the field has standing water in it.  So far we’ve got successions of lettuce, squash, broccoli, kale, peas, corn etc etc in the ground and we’re hoping for much much more coming up here very soon.  The spring, despite the near-constant rain, has been ever-so pleasant.  The onions and garlic are growing like crazy and we’re looking at our best crop of those for sure, ever.  We’re selling all the hardneck garlic right back to Peaceful Valley, so look for the Capathian and Dujanski hardneck varieties.  They are purple-striped types and so beautiful.

On the intern and employee front, all is well here at Four Frog.  We have our best crew ever assembled and we’re enjoying learning about farming and one another.  For our worker blog, go to

Matt, Leda and Stephanie are creative, fun people who will change small-scale farming in their own ways - our job right now is to help them learn what they need to know, and then help them get their farms underway.

Chickens have arrived.  Check out the slideshow at the top of the post.

Also, for very up-to-date info, become a fan of the farm on Facebook.

Enjoy the rain,

Andrew
