Hey all! Baskets are FINALLY done for the day. With the increase of people putting in gardens for the first time or expanding existing gardens this year, it has been a mad scramble to conquer shares, answer phones and help customers. We love it though, its good to see people happy to grow there own yummy food.
We are offering an early share for those who are signed up for spring shares. You can opt out of April 16th share and get a share this week. We would be happy to put them together. There is a wide variety of veggies we know you’ll like. Please text us if you would like d this option. 435-200-4769.
Yes, it is that time of year again. One day it is 70 degrees, the sun is shinning, we are working in the garden, planting seeds and the next….snow flurries, high winds, 26 degrees and looking for the frost blankets! This is how we roll in Hurricane Valley! Nothing new, just the transition from winter to longer days of spring coming near.
This week we made much headway in the gardens. Peas, brassica crops and many greens were planted. Some are under frost blankets and some left to fend for themselves. We always look forward the the renewal of the gardening year by the first little seedlings popping their heads through the garden soil we attended to early in the year with compost, kelp, rock dust and much love.
This week we have a garden/farm tour of our little place and we are looking forward to meeting many new friends.
For 2020 we are excited about many new crops we will be introducing to our shares. Asparagus should be presenting itself in a month. We are already harvesting Cheddar cheese cauliflower, broccolini, lettuces, mesclun mixes, mustard greens, chard and other wonderful greens. Please stop by for some fresh garden goodness! We have had a wonderful mild winter this year which has blessed us with abundance.
