New Year’s Milestones

January 3rd, 2010
Coyote House Farm | Blog

The calendar has turned and we are happy to call our straw bale field shed project complete. Of course, things are never complete, and the interior walls still need to be finished, but the building is winter-ready and is sound and stable. In addition, we’ve got a 2400’ vegetable field and two orchards planted with cover crop and some additional unplowed field sown with mustard seed, part of our ongoing efforts to amend and improve our soil and improve drainage by breaking through hardpan. And, we have made a big dent in our composting infrastructure.

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.
