We were starting to worry.
Early May already, and nary a break in the weather: rain, gray skies, and more rain. We were heading into the kind of spring that farmers dread – wet, muddy, troublesome. But the gods had other plans, blessing us here and there with brief respites – two or three days of dry weather, just enough to superficially dry the fields and allow our tractors to work soil that would otherwise have held us back.
As I write these lines,
the plots designated for our early crops have already been harrowed, fertilized, seeded, or transplanted.
It is still touch and go, as the forecast continues to call for unstable weather – scattered showers here and gloomy skies there. Be that as it may, we’re now expecting our first ‘heat wave’, just in time to get everything back on track!
Basket and loyalty card sign-ups are rolling in, we expect to reach our goal for the season.
There are still a few spots left, though, so we invite you to register as soon as possible if you have not done so already (and to encourage family, friends, and colleagues to do the same), because time is flying and in just four weeks we will be serving up our first organic baskets – filled with hearty leafy greens and the first strawberries of the season, courtesy of our friends at DiversiBio (we grow our own blueberries but do not produce strawberries).
With that, we wish you a happy start to spring and look forward to seeing you again very soon.
