We will have organic veggie plants to sell this year!
As I sit here waiting for another 1/4 inch of ice and 12 inches of snow, I close my eyes and smile because I know our farm plan this year is to start planting in 14 days and, darn it all, we will do it!! We are actually expecting our onion plants to be delivered Tuesday! I wonder if anyone has ever planted onion plants with a snow shovel and a pick axe? But enough of this hilarity...I know a number of you love to plant some of your own veggies. I know it's relativily easy to find vegetable plants, but not so easy to find organic vegetable plants. Well, we are going to make it a lot easier this year. We are buying extra plants this year, besides what we are planting, to share with you. The first group that we will have by mid March, and their variety will be:Broccoli-Blue Wind
Cabbage-Farao and Primax
Cauliflower-Snow Crown
Chard-Fordhook Giant
Kale-Winterbor
The second group we will have mid May and their variety:
Cucumber-Marketmore
Canteloupe-Athena and Ambrosia
Watermelon-Sugar Baby and Crimson Sweet
Pepper-Red Knight. California Wonder and Hot Wax
Yellow Summer Squash-Multipik
Zucchini-Raven
Tomato-Celebrity, Big Beef, Cherokee Purple,Brandywine, and San Marzano
Most plants will be .50 cents per. Melon plants will be 1.00. Tomato and peppers plants .75 each.
We also will hold two planting and growing clinics at the farm to help you get started.
On the chicken front, 100 hundred new laying chickens have arrived and are being housed in a brand new coop building. Some of the rest of our flock are getting older and it was time to infuse with some young ladies to keep those eggs a'comin!

Locally yours,
