After a frustrating start to the week, an awful lot got done around here yesterday thanks to the help of the college students, the loan of a trailer from another farmer and Robert taking two afternoons off from work. Last year we bought a new piece of equipment for the farm that raises beds, lays […]
So much has happened around here in the last two months! I’ve put off writing any blog posts because the things I have to write about deserve so much attention but I can’t seem to find the time to give it. I’m going to try to catch up on some of it in one post. […]
Finally, an update on the upcoming CSA season! Check out the info on our 2014 CSA page to find out details about becoming a member of our 2014 CSA program that picks up weekly baskets of goodies directly from the farm. For those of you that want to pick up your baskets in Little Rock from Robert, […]
Since I missed posting anything about this project in September, I thought I better get some pictures up on it soon. We found out in May that we had been approved for a grant through the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) to help us put up a high tunnel on the farm. The objective of […]

Because eggs, chickens and chicken coops have been such a hot topic at our market booth recently and because I’m about to roll out a few blog posts on our new mobile coop, I thought I better write a little bit about the chicken coop that has served us well for the last seven years […]
So after 2 months away, I finally get back to this blog. When I started this blog I swore I was never going to make excuses for not blogging but I might have a more legitimate one this time. Or maybe not. Basically, life happened. Work gets busy and plates get full and sometimes something […]
We’ve seen a few box turtles lately. Or just the same one floating around the garden. Milan found “his” turtle this morning in the swiss chard and sugar snap peas. As we walked down the next row he decided to check his boot to make sure there wasn’t a turtle in there. All clear. Now, […]
Just as the remaining tulips are dropping petals in the field, pretty posies are popping up to take their place. Cornflowers, lobelia, crimson clover, vetch and ranunculus give us plenty to work with as we practice making bouquets! Careful inspection to find just the right stem and figure out which flowers smell best. Soon to […]
