Updates.

There is so much is going on here it is hard to decide where to start. May 3rd was our second market day. Everything sold quickly. Our goal is to sell enough to pay for the day and and to let frequent market visitors see that we are back for this season and that we have produce growing now.

I really love going to the market on saturdays. Now that it is our second year I feel as though I am becoming part of the vendor community. We like to buy what we can at the market during the season. The garlic we stocked up on in the fall was wonderful. It lasted until this spring and that is just because we used it all up.

The article in the Saturdays' Telegraph Journal, about the global crisis and how it effects the local producers, was a wonderful opportunity to let area residents know we exist and what we offer. The members of our CSA are all eager and excited about the program. We are exicted as well for the upcoming season.

I guess the season is not upcoming...it is here. We planted .25 of an acre today. I will be feeling that tomorrow morning. It doesn't sound like much of an area but it really is when you are picking rocks and sod. It took three of us all day to plant everything except for the peas and snow peas, this will be our task for the morning. We plan on planting our potatoes tomorrow as well.

Our apprentice started on May 4th. We are all a little nervous, but we are all getting along well and I think everything will fine.
