JOLTIN’ JOE!

With hard economic times, here are a few ways to pinch those pennies.

There are some advantages to living in the city. Goods and services are more readily available and nearby as compared to living in the country.

APRIL HARVEST TALLY

Wacky weather whiplash pattern continues. Last week it was a scorching 95 degrees then quicker than you can say “summer’s here?” few days later it’s cold, overcast and raining!

EARTH CARE WEEK

Although we couldn’t attend all the events we were invited to (sorry, folks, perhaps next year!) due to conflict of schedules with Holy Week, we still did have a jam packed week!!!

MARCH HARVEST TALLY & GARDEN REPORT

It’s officially Spring and what a rocky start weather wise. We spiked into the 90’s for a few days and then dipped back under 60 with gray skies and drizzle.

TOUR TIME!

Kicking off spring with our first school tour of the season.

HARVEST UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2011

With only a few weeks left till spring, winter isn’t over with us just yet.

SPLENDOR FROM GRASS

In winter, when surplus greens are scarce, we supplement our backyard poultry’s diet with wheatgrass.

JUST DUCKY!

Our new batch of ducks have taken to finding their way on top of the goat house and hanging with goatsies.

URBAN HOME-STAND

Thank you for coming up and making our first( of hopefully many) “Homestand’s” a positive and successful event (estimated nearly 200 dropped in throughout the day). Also a big thank you to those who came bearing homemade gifts and complimentary comments. We appreciate your support!

JANUARY 2011 HARVEST TALLY

Here we are again, a new year and a new tally. After last years record breaking harvest of over 3 1/2 tons ( 7,000 pounds ) of produce, will be interesting to see what this year will bring. And as any farmer knows it all depends on the weather and keeping the plants healthy to ward off disease and bag bugs.
