Spring Planting Full Force

We are in full Spring planting at the farm.  We have transplanted from the greenhouse all: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant & herbs.  We have seed planted:peas, beans, summer squash, lettuces & greens.  This weekend will be filled with more planting.  At the farm we are hatching chicks and enjoying the wonderful rain this week.  Have a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday weekend. 

Even after the cold snap we had during the week.  The weekend has turned out to be a true Spring with lots of work getting done at the farm.  We were able to finish transplanting the few blueberry bushes and some of the strawberry patch.  The new covering to the greenhouse/high tunnel is coming soon.

What a beautiful weekend!  We took advantage of the spring like weather and Tom plowed up the area that this years lettuce/greens will grow as well as getting the ground ready for transplanting the berries for 2013. 

Enrollment is under way for the 2013 season...make sure you get your CSA membership spot.

Its time to get excited about the 2013 growing season at Windy Meadow Farms.  We are taking enrollment for our 2013 Summer CSA and are looking forward to having our members back out to the farm.  Our Henrietta Hens are laying lots of eggs... so stop out and grab a dozen or 2 when you are in the area.  Call with any farm or CSA questions, 315-576-8918.

Hot Days of Summer

They are finally here…the hot dog days of Summer! 

Families with children who would like to experience a few hours of “fun farm life” here at Windy Meadow Farms email or call me and we will setup a time.  Enjoy planting, picking, learning about our farm and eating a snack that you prepare. 

Next week we will have dates for our

“Farm to Fork” events… 

Enjoy your week!!                                                          

Our crops are growing and so is Luc Thomas.  It is hard to believe that Luc Thomas is going to be 3 years old this Sunday!!! Happy Birthday Little Man!  It seems like it was just yesterday that I came home from the hospital from giving birth to a busy planting week at the farm.  Tom was busy transplanting cold crops and put me and the baby on the trans-planter to help him finish planting the last 10,000 plants for the week.  I think he forgot that I had just given birth to his 5^th child or maybe he knew many women back in the day gave birth and went back to work in the fields and felt I could do the same after my 3 days of rest in the hospital…so much for maternity leave on a farm.  God is good!

Enjoy your week!!

WELCOME 2012 CSA MEMBERS

It has been a “typical” farming year on our hill in West Walworth, as you never know what the weather is going to bring to you in any given week.  We are still laughing and are not to over whelmed as many of our fruit farming friends are this year. 

I would love to hear what you are “fixing up” with all the veggies and goodies coming from our farm.  Share some recipes with us by email and we will post on our website for others.

I will be posting soon some dates to save for our Summer Social & Fall Harvest Party. 

Enjoy your week!!
