Winter Comfort
Hello everyone, It is common in the middle of what seems to be long cold February days to look forward to spring and the growing season ahead. Warmer days, seed catalogs, and greenhouse advertising all remind me that it’s time to prepare for spring. However, I also hang onto the previous growing season. Every time …

News From the Farm – October 25
Good morning once again. Ah yes, back to the weather we have come to expect for late October, but the weekend was brilliant, and it took the edge off of the pathetic Green Bay loss on Sunday. You might be wondering what we still have available for sale. If you are not, too bad, because …

It’s snowing…again! It seemed quite surreal to be planting garlic while it was snowing. What an odd mixture of feelings to view a beautiful autumn red and yellow woods through the swirling flakes. Christmas songs were popping into my head as I crawled along in the dirt planting cloves. It seemed so wrong to be …

Good morning everyone. I don’t know about you, but for me as a farmer, my first thought this morning was how hard of a frost we had. Although I have not checked the fields over, I looked into a bucket of basil I accidentally left out on our porch and noticed cold damage. Teachable moment. …

Good chilly morning everyone. If you are not a cool weather fan, I have a way for you to warm up! This Friday and Saturday evening (September 23+24) Wedges Creek will be featuring some hot pizzas straight from their wood-fired ovens. They will be hot out of the oven, but also hot because they will …
New From the Farm – September 20
This time of year, so much happens in the field every day that it is hard to know what to tell you about. For today I will focus on two highlights in particular. First, we now finally have a few ripe watermelons. I had mentioned a while back that I would discuss how to tell …
News From the Farm – September 14th
Good morning again. According to maps of our area, September 15th is the first fall frost date. Sources vary on what exactly this means, but practically speaking it means that around that date you should keep an eye out for frost.
