Updates from Week 2 of April

Hello from the farm! Unlike last week, it has been all sunshine and blue-skies the past few days! This gorgeous weather has allowed us to get lots of work done outside and in the fields, and we are definitely making the most of it. Here’s a little peak at what we’ve been up to:

First up, it’s all about the seedlings right now. The glass greenhouse on our home farm is now officially full of trays! From now on, new trays will be transported just down the road to an additional greenhouse space located on our family’s property. We share several resources with them — this greenhouse, tractors, land, and more!

Pictured below are the first of our melon seedlings!

Next, we’ve been continuing to work on pruning our blueberries. We’re finishing up the final rows today, and will then be moving on to our raspberries. The photo on the left below shows just how many branches are removed during a pruning. It’s quite a lot! While out in the blueberry fields we were delighted to see that they are starting to bud! Check out the photo on the right to see where they are at.

Next, we’re trying something new this year, and wanted to share a little teaser. Stay tuned to find out what’s under the row covers next week! In the meantime, any guesses?

And finally, we’ve been hard at work tidying, organizing, and cleaning up our Farm Market. We will be re-opening for the season on Saturday May 6th!
