Children's Workshop Here on the Farm!



Who says adults are the only ones who like to farm?  You won't hear us saying such things.  We know kids enjoy the dirt, the bugs, the worms, and that's why we're hosting a Children's Workshop here on the farm next Sunday, April 13th. The fee is $20/family.  Children must be 5 or older and accompanied by an adult; younger siblings may join you.

We'll be releasing more than 13,000 Lady Bugs, and each child will get to release their own lady bugs into the gardens, along with making worm juice to sprinkle over the tender veggies.  They'll also get to love on our new baby chicks!  Want to know more about what we'll be doing?  Click here.

After the workshop, open to all is:
Organic Tomato Plant /Bluebird House Sale
Sunday, April 13th 3-4 pm
Farm Tour 4-5 pm



 

Around the Farm

LOTS going on here at the farm!  Building more raised beds for the new varieties of kale and lettuce we'll have this year!  Thankfully, most of our broccoli and cabbage made it through that last hard freeze we had last month!  Planting, planting, planting...getting ready for the BEES... read more here.

 

How to Use

You DON'T have to use pesticides/herbicides and fertilizers to have a beautiful vegetable garden or lawn.  Integrated pest management is just one way to keep your outdoor space healthy without the adverse side effects of harmful spraying of chemicals...read more
 

Did You Know?

Lady Bugs are one of the best ways to combat unwanted pests!  Lady Bugs feed on aphids also known as plant lice.  Please, don't spray pesticides!  Read more here.

At-Home Gardening Tip

You should be getting your lady bugs and praying mantis to protect your garden from the unwanted pests.  Lady Bug eat tons of unwanted pests and are so cute!  No, these are not the lady bugs some folks have had taking over in their homes.

Recipe for April
GREENS! 

As the season begins, you'll notice what often comes out of the garden is green.  Let's start the season off, then, by learning about the types of greens and how to cook them.  Once you overcome your fear, you'll celebrate all that is green and arriving at your door!
