Howdy Folks,

The farm is wildly busy this time of year.  We are in the thick of seeding, planting, and now also harvesting, packing or delivering 7 days a week! The remaining H2A workers are arriving this week, so we will now be fully staffed and ready to rock. 

We don't have as many ripe strawberries as we were hoping to start off with for markets this weekend due to recent rain and cooler temperatures. However, we feel lucky to be beginning to harvest them! It is the very beginning of the berry season, so we have very few, so as always it's come  first serve.  

Our online market should open up this coming Monday for online orders again.  We don't have much, but this is a way for you to get your order secured if you can't make it to market early.

There are two new feathered friends running around the farm. Cedar got Ducks from school!  It's a sixth grade science class ritual, people from the area bring in the fertilized eggs from their layers, and the class incubates and hatches them. Then they get to go home with kids from the 6th grade that can take them.  Cedar got 14 chickens and 2 ducks out of the hatch.  They are now 3 weeks old. We aren't certain what breeds all of them are, but they sure are cute.  Cedar plans to keep them as pets!

The carrots are growing well, as well as many other crops we have in successions.  In the photos below you have a peek at what I mean by succession planting in the growth of the carrots, these two beds are planted 3 weeks apart.  Many crops that we have yet to harvest anything from, for example carrots, beans, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, broccoli, cabbage, to name several.  Succession plantings help us to give you a constant supply to items throughout the growing season.  Some we are already harvesting from the first succession of are dill, parsley, cilantro, kale, spinach, swiss chard, scallions, spring mix, radish, and turnips.

Cheers,

Chris, Aeros & The Who Crew
