Wet Stuff

What were those wet drops falling from the heavens today?  Someone said it was “raining”, although it has been so long since something like that happened that it feels like an ethereal dream.  Anyway, it seems to be beneficial for the earth, so I am pretty happy about it.

In other news, the tomatoes are doing well… about 10 or so bit the dust over the weekend as the temps dipped low, but the other couple hundred made it through fine.  We’ve been really getting a lot done with my two friends at the farm this week - Ryan and Paul.  I’m bracing for solo work again next week, but for now I am greatly enjoying the added help.

The farm is starting to look like one.

I am feeling more confident about the vegetables, so I am adding people to the CSA for May, again.  Although, probably not more than 20 for May…hopefully up to 35 by the later part of June.

Aside from this, I am truly impressed with the farmers who hold down full time jobs and still manage a CSA, all by themselves.  I know that is not possible for me, and wonder how they do it.  If this is you, please clue me into your day.

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.
