FARM NEWS 9.27.09



Hi Folks,
Pictured is our crew and friends and children on the harvest trailer behind the tractor. Pie pumpkins and winter squash are now in and out of the way of frosts! Also pictured is Baxter in his usual harvest bin pose while Bea tends the chicks in the portable chicken house....

This week on the farm we'll be planting cover crops, prepping ground for garlic planting, spreading compost, harvesting. Our apprentices will be heading over to Debra Tyler's farm on Monday to learn about micro dairying, raw milk, pastures, etc., with other apprentices from neighboring farms.

Here's the harvest for the week:

Onions
Peppers
Hot Peppers
Potatoes
Celery
Leeks
Winter Squash/ Pumpkins
Chard
Mustard Greens
Salad Mix/Arugula
Turnips
Broccoli (If warm weather persists!)
Collards

Enjoy!
Your Farmers,
Dan, Tracy, B+B
