February Newsletter February is the shortest month of the year but yet seems like it goes on and on forever. It's been another wet month. It makes me wonder will we ever dry out. The fields are wet, the ditches are full as is the pond. There is just no place for the water to go. It makes preparing for planting a very difficult task. In keeping with sharing farm and family history, Linda has written the following about the Legares and sheep. It's a little long but a great story. Sheep. Sheep have been a part of life on our...

January NewsletterHappy New Year from everyone at the farm. This is a slow time of year on the farm. As always we have to feed and water animals. We're planting vegetables for the winter CSA and the regular season CSA. We'll be starting deliveries for the Winter the week of February 15 and then the regular season should start towards the end of April.

Roasting pigs are the Special this Month...

November Newsletter Things are finally starting to slow down on the farm. We have finished the Pumpkin Patch and the Fall Harvest Dinner. We had more people than ever at the Pumpkin Patch this year.

The Pumpkin Patch opened on the 4th and I started delivering CSA vegetables on the 7th.  We’re getting ready for the Fall Harvest Dinner on Nov. 2nd too.  We are getting winter vegetables ready to plant. It’s hard to believe we’ve been doing the Pumpkin Patch for 13 years. It takes a lot of time and...

September Newsletter 2014Every month when I sit down to write the newsletter, I try to share something new and interesting. I have been told that I share too much personal stuff in the newsletter but I say that this farm is personal and I will continue to be personal. I have also been told that everything I write is negative. I don’t think it is negative just real life when it comes to farming. If someone doesn’t like reading my negative newsletters then go to the bottom and unsubscribe. It won’t hurt my feelings at all. I do think I...
