A New and Very Cold Year

2018 has arrived! And with it, an arctic blast. Winter growing sure was easy the last 2 years, and now we find ourselves covering and uncovering our frozen greens hoping they make it through this chilly spell. We ended up planting them a couple weeks late with the optimism only a farmer can have for a mild December and January. We're still crossing our fingers for our little plants to come through when we get a little thaw in the weather and keep us in greens for February and March. Speaking of optimism...here's to a great 2018! We know the weather will be perfect, the tractors will never break again, and the pests won't be hungry. It's going to be a great year!

Scenes from the farm: Duma watches the greens harvest, ice patterns on the Tohikon, fox on the farm, and the first mushroom harvest! (limited quantity available at market).
