Is it spring yet??

We are trying to be patient, but it's really hard! It seems like it's been overcast and cool since sometime in early October-yuck! Our strawberry crop is about 3 weeks behind because of the weather, they just haven't had enough bright sunny days to encourage growth.

I hope you've had a good winter. We're getting excited about spring, the garden is growing, the CSA starts next week and we've been rearranging in the market. We'll try and get some new video this week so you'll have an idea of what's new. We hope to be open by April 24th. Stay tuned!

Uncle Russell in the Ice!

Uncle Russell is in the field in the early morning after watering the strawberries all night. We use overhead irrigation to create ice on nights when the temperature is going to drop much below freezing. The making of ice actually creates warmth and insulates the berries.

With care like this, we should have berries on April 1st, no fooling!
