Garlic harvest in three acts: undercutting, pulling, and the finished harvest. Tomorrow we will collect and put in the greenhouse to cure.
They're coming!!
Sheep, summer evening. Sometimes it's hard to focus on anything but the scenery.
Next block of greens coming in. Glamour shot before we start hacking at it...
Day of the tomato!! Super excited to transplant all these gorgeous plants on such a gorgeous day.
Time flies, but these birds sure don't! Can't believe we're almost done with our first set of broilers, already started our second set of chicks. The season is officially upon us.
Chickens on the move! Preparing to move the layers to a new patch of rye, Sayer explains the procedure to a flock of attentive hens.
Getting our pick-your-own boxes all set up! Alex is burning holes in landscape fabric, to be planted with perennial herbs for our shareholders to pick for many seasons to come.
Look what we found during harvest! Nestled amongst the spinach 🌱🐣🌱
First harvest of the CSA season! Looking forward to seeing all our shareholders and meeting our new members!
The hens are making good work of our ever greening pastures. Just picked up 100 new girls last week-- looking forward to when they start laying!
Hard at work hanging doors and painting floors to prepare for CSA opening day. Slowly but surely the farm stand is taking shape. First pickup is next Monday May 8th-- looking forward to seeing you all there!
It's hard not to admire a well cultivated greenhouse. Ours are brimming with bok choy, scallions, lettuce, kale, arugula, and more... all destined for our CSA, which starts the second week in May. Visit our website for more information-- shares are still available!
Planting onions in the rain! Perfect weather for transplants and rubber boots.
Sign up for our CSA today! The hoophouses are full of greens, we've harvested the overwintered parsnips, and we'll be opening in just over 2 weeks. Visit our website for more info.
It smelled awesome in the hoophouse this afternoon. Nice little overwintered scallion crop coming out.
My favorite ewe (230) finally had her lambs! Her udder had been swollen like a balloon for weeks. These two huge lambs came out backwards, which is always complicated. Lambs take their first breath when the umbilical cord breaks, so if they come out backwards, their first breath happens in the womb. I pulled them out as quickly as possible, swung them around to expel mucous, and even did a little mouth-to-mouth before they finally kicked into life. #lamb #lambing #Vermont #farm #wool
Spinach headed to the Hanover @coopfoodstores right now! It's beautiful and sweet. #farm #vegetables #Vermont #CSA
