Super Market Vegetables Got You Down?
Sign up for the Spring CSA share and get farm-fresh organic produce even sooner! There's nothing crisper, fresher, or tastier than local greens after a long winter of super market produce. It's $80 for four weeks starting the first week of May. (Contact us if you usually pick up at the Oneonta or Andes farmers markets, as we don't start those markets until mid-May. All other pick-up locations are the same for the Spring share.)
 

News From the Farm
These days you can find us hunkered down with gobs of paper work, going a little stir-crazy indoors. But our organic certification application is finished, we've drawn up impressive record-keeping forms to finally keep track of things during the season (fingers crossed!), we've ordered most of our seed, finished our lengthy weekly schedule for the entire season, we've started seeds for the first transplants in the hoop house, and we've visited a bunch of farms throughout the state to learn about what other people are doing. Patrick has even braved the single-degree temperatures to set up our new greenhouse heater. In the next few months we hope to:
  • Build a cold-storage shed
  • Rebuild our greenhouse tables
  • Finish our snowed-in moveable hoop house
  • Redesign our wash station to save time and increase efficiency on harvest days
  • Build a shed over our well to alleviate freezing
  • Keep perfect records
I don't think we've ever been more excited for the upcoming growing season. We finally feel like we're getting a handle on the vegetable growing (knock on wood) and can start focusing on better business practices and farm systems. Hooray for progress!

Hope this finds you warm and cozy wherever you are.

All our best,
Eleanor, Patrick, and Ernest
