Snow and wind can't stop gardening!

With fall like weather in the air it would seem like we skipped a few seasons; however that is not the case! We have peas now planted in the ground outside and strawberries are going in today! There is also mesclun finally planted outside in the ground. More beds are being prepped and shaped daily for more yummy vegetables to put into soon.

The farm stand is stocked with stellar kale, mesclun, spinach, parsnips, and potatoes. There is still some syrup left for sale so come on up and get it while it lasts!

Thanks to all the volunteers who are such a big help to keeping as on top of things!

Summer is on its way everyone!

The beds are being prepped, several plantings of lettuce are on their way, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and peppers are also well on their way! Just looking outside and seeing the trees popping with green and also seeing that bright yellow thing in the sky is a tip off. :)

Mesclun and spinach are at Heath's Supermarket yet again and both can be found at Mocha Rizing and in our farm stand.

Our syrup from this season is delicious and dwindling fast so come on up and get it while its available.

After our weekend of snow, the fluffy white stuff has finally melted away again(except the snow pile right by our door) and we are back to getting the beds all ready to plant.

Yesterday and the day before were very fun days of building sheep fences and making sure all the old ones were in working order so we can let our flock out to pasture. It's weeks earlier than last year!

The stand is still stocked with lovely spinach, mesclun mix, parsnips, and potatoes so come on up any time!

Enjoy the sun!

So even though we seem to be jumping around in seasons it really is supposed to be spring so that means gardening. There might be snow on the ground but our first batch of lettuce is now in the ground(in the greenhouse) and we are just waiting for the tomatoes to be big enough to put into the new greenhouse. Our oldest greenhouse is packed full with little plants growing away which will in no time at all turn into full grown onions, leeks, more lettuce, mesclun greens, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and cucumbers.

While the snow puts a halt to putting much more vegetables in the ground there is still plenty to do on the farm. So its off to getting the fences ready again for putting the sheep to pasture, shearing them when they finally dry out for all this wet, and just the never ending maintenance that comes with a farm.

Enjoy the little bit of snow while you can! (Its perfect snowball snow :))

Today is a very fall like day temperature wise and true to fall form the parsnips were dug and in the process of being washed. If anyone is the Plymouth area and familiar with Local Foods Plymouth you can find them for sale online with deliveries on Thursday. Our farm stand will be stocked with them as well.

Stephen is working hard to put the final touches on the new greenhouse(it's doors!) so that we can put our beautiful looking tomato plants into them when they are ready.

Don't forget the farm stand is also stocked with lovely mesclun, kale, and spinach!

Sugaring season is over and our syrup supplies are dwindling fast so come and get it while it is here!

The new greenhouse is DONE! Ok well it needs doors but other than that its DONE! Next step(after doors) is to get the tomatoes into it.

Speaking of yummy, juicy, sensational tomatoes, the master farmer Peter Booty is very excited to get his hands into some dirt and we are heading out soon to put those adorable little tomato seedlings into bigger pots(not exactly pots but you get the point).

In other news, spinach is now at Mocha Rizing in Sandwich and at Heath's Supermarket in Center Harbor (if its still on the shelves!). There is also spinach of course in the farm stand at the bottom of drive way along with the years first mesclun mix. :)

In no time at all there will be lettuce and plenty of other goodies in the stand!

In Stores Now!

Yesterday was our first delivery day! Spinach can now be found at Mocha Rizing in Center Sandwich and Heath's Supermarket in Center Harbor (we like to be in the Center of things).

Already we are all out of 1 gallons of syrup and our 1/2 gallons are going just as fast. If you are looking for some of this years wonderful maple syrup, come and get it because it is spectacular and in short supply.

Our third greenhouse is well on its way to being finished and just needs its plastic covering so we can start putting tomatoes into it.

Tomatoes, eggplants, green peppers, and cucumbers have all been started in their little trays and are growing like...well like weeds I guess you might say...although these taste better and we don't plan on tearing them out of the ground until fall when they are all done.

What a sunny day can do...

Spring is most definitely here ladies and gents!

Today was an extremely productive day!

1) finished washing all the buckets and lids from sugaring

2) got several tricky trees cut down (very fun to watch)
(how many loggers does it take to take down 1 tree? 8! the other answer: we arent loggers! we are arborists!)

3) our 3rd green house is being put up as I type!

All of this could not be done with out our amazing community of friends who have come to help today. Thank you all so much for everything, every single one of you is a joy to work and we are honored to know such kind and wonderful people.

On sillier note: today was the first day that an ever so silly girl was able to run about barefooted. Spring at last! :)

Mother Nature's April Fools joke???

What is this big bright yellow warm thing up in this strange blue sky?! Someone once told me its this amazing thing called a sun but I am a little skeptical. :)

Enough of that now though, the second planting of lettuce is in the greenhouse! In no time at all we will have fresh lettuce again! We still have amazing overwintered spinach as well!

The sugaring season is indeed done with all the buckets pulled and the washing process is full steam ahead! With such a short season, the syrup will go fast so come and get it while you can!
