Happy Birthday Jolene!

Happy Birthday to one of our dearest blessings on the farm! We love you!

Anna and Marial

Watching kids and dogs are a very precious time. Anna spent the day outside helping. She is such a good little helper. In between hauling, holding, carrying and delivering, Anna managed to spend some quality one on one time with Marial who is about 5 year olds.

Green Party

The warmest day this past week end hit nearly 70 degrees. It seemed to be a neighborhood event as everyone was out tilling the fields on their green tractors! Our neighbors with much bigger property and much bigger tractors, were discing and tilling for the pumpkin patch they are putting in and they were also seeding for the corn maze that will surround the pumpkin patch. Their big tractors were inspiring, so we got our little Deere out and did some tractor work of our own!

The garden is now fully tilled and ready to seed and put the transplants in, but the weather needs to cooperate a little bit more. Temperature highs are in the 50's and temperature lows are dipping to 40. Many of the summer crops need 80 soil temperatures to germinate. At this point we are just going to stick to cabbage transplants and we are thankful the tilling time is nearly complete.

Happy Birthday to Our Little Irish Boy!

Happy Birthday Dear Aiden!
Aiden was on the farm last week end and his new favorite dinner is pasture raised pork steaks! Mmm, mmmm!
We hope you have a delightful, happy first birthday! We love you!

The Strawberries are Ripening!

Mmmm, they are so sweet and juicy, too. Did you know you can throw a small handful of epsom salt into the strawberry patch and the plants will thank you for that extra little boost of growing power? They love the nutrients from the epsom salt. It helps set the blossoms, keeps the plants blooming more and the fruit tastes sweeter. Here is to the salt of the earth!
