Soil and Rocks

May 13th, 2009
Honey in the Heart Farm | Blog

We are back to our frantic tilling and rock pulling schedule now that the ground has dried out a bit.  We are continuing to prepare ground and plant, and hopefully we’ll have all our ground ready in the next few weeks…. month more likely.

We planted basil and green beans, more carrots and reseeded the arugula and cilantro that didn’t germinate well.

We are going down to Berkeley tommorow to see my sister’s presentation of her master’s thesis, which is a really amazing project to connect small farmers with consumers, interns, and other folks intersted in the local food movement.  Check out her website at www.squashandvine.org.

Things are well, busy and looking forward to the arrival of summer.

We had our first farm salad with lettuce and mesclun mix, radishes and onion from right here.  It was delicious!

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.
