Signs of Spring!
Hello, Friends of the Farm!
This past week – Jess was out picking up supplies in Elmira for the start of the growing season; potting soil, cell packs and web trays. And yes – the celeriac and celery have sprouted! Onions, leeks and more have been sown too. I guess that means you should all be signing up for your 2016 Summer CSA! Get in touch for more details on where we are delivering to this season…
While Jess was in Elmira – she visited with some Percherons. Sure sign of spring? Knock kneed foals!
