Let it Fly

It's springtime and time to make sure the soil is ready for seeds and transplants.
Here we are applying some beautiful compost that was donated by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to promote the use of compost.

Little peeps after three months!

Like everything else at the farm, they grow!
Silver Pullet needs a new name because he turned out to be a large black rooster.

Four-footed company

Oh deer, we sure are glad that the scented deer tape generally works to keep the deer from eating off all of the strawberry plants during the winter. This was the 2nd week of January at 4:30pm--thirteen deer eating cover crops.

Gift Boxes Galore

1400 Gift boxes later...nice job everyone. Thanks for supporting the farm with your gift box orders.

The Harvest Season Ends

When the crops are harvested and the mornings turn cold, it's time to reflect back on a great season. Thanks Bob!

New Life at the Farm

After 21 days of carefully tending the incubator full of chicken eggs, here are the four that decided to enter the world. Their names are Izzy--yellow, Cricket--tiny one, Silver Pullet--the inquisitive silver one, and Cider--brown coloring on the face. They are the result of various pairings of different breeds of hens and roosters, so it will be interesting to see what they look like as they grow.

Fall Arrives and Winter Squash Harvest Begins

Frost is predicted tonight so we are harvesting winter squash very quickly--among them Long Island cheese, Black Futsu, Butternuts, Acorns, Red Kuri and La Estrella. Here is Elizabeth with another load to take up.
