It’s hard to believe that Mother’s Day is almost here.  What do you get for the mom who has everything?  We think you should give her a CSA memebership with Pekarek’s Produce.  Every week of the summer, she could receive a produce bag that looks like this: It’s easy to sign up for and aContinue reading “Weekly Vegetables from Pekarek’s Produce…. A Mother’s Day Gift!”

Although we’ve been hard at work for quite some time and eating delicious veggies, tomorrow marks the true start of the vegetable season – or at least that’s the way it feels.  The very first farmer’s market of the season for us starts tomorrow at the Lincoln Haymarket Farmer’s Market.  It marks the beginning ofContinue reading “When are watermelons ready? And another season begins…”

We have two more new high tunnels put up – almost.  So there are two new smaller high tunnels that we are putting up.  Unfortunately, it continues to be a little bit cold.  We’ve had it snow while working on these tunnels several times.  Here’s Ryan winding up some string after setting the posts forContinue reading “New high tunnels – almost”

Its only three weeks until the first farmer’s market in Lincoln.  We hope to see you there.  Even our cabbage is excited to see you at the start of the new season. Now we just have to keep the snow away 🙂

We had some great help putting up garage doors and walk in doors. Here we are putting on the roll down sides.  TheyContinue reading “The High Tunnel is Up!!!”

So wouldn’t you know it, the weather was nice a sunny…  We had 60s. We had 70s.  We even had some 80s.  So we got excited on the farm.  We started planting in the greenhouse. We’ve got the benches full of transplants. We finished putting up a high tunnel. We got started on two moreContinue reading “Snow Happens…”

Some of you will recall from last year, that one of our late fall activities included tearing down a couple of greenhouses near Bennington.  This was some sort of crazy adventure where we thought, “Yes.  I do believe I would like to go into a weedy field, traipse around in the mud, crawl on loadersContinue reading “High Tunnels”

It is a wonderful reprieve to have such wonderful weather in March.  I think we’ve all been waiting to break out of the cold snap and it’s really made us productive during the last week.  The entire family participated in filling up much of the greenhouse.  It all started with a soil delivery that cameContinue reading “Filling the Greenhouse”
