Welcome Spring!

Welcome Spring!

What amazing weather we are having! Secretly I have been enjoying the weather while I know this is not right. We should have our snow shovels out, hats, boots and a weekend planned for sledding. Instead we have found ourselves digging out our shorts, enjoying meals outside and preparing our home garden.

Our work for 2012 season began February 29th. Tables of onions were seeded in flats followed by herbs, broccoli, kale, fennel, celery and various flowers.

Our garlic is growing strong in the field. Besides the growing cover crop and over wintered spinach it's nice to see green growing among the soil.

Our hoop house is busy as well with potatoes and carrots seeded in the ground. Our Rosemary to the far left survived well over the Winter. This will be a nice early addition to our beginning Summer Vegetable CSA Shares.

Our day-old Isa Brown Layers that we received in February are growing well. Now that they are fully feathered their brooder doors are open and they're enjoying using the ramp that leads them outside.

Can anyone spot the rooster?

We would like to welcome Duncan to our crew!

This weather does give us a head start in preparing beds. Here Duncan and Joe weed out the blueberry bushes.

Bila, one of our dairy goats is due at the end of April. This will be her first time kidding and by the size of her she looks like she's growing two! 

Looking for CSA shares? We offer Full and Half Vegetable Share, Fall Vegetable Shares and Fruit Shares. Click HERE  for more information.

We offer pick up locations at our farm, in Lake Forest and a new location in Logan Square Area of Chicago! Get to know your farmer and enjoy the bounty from our farm!

Enjoy the weather!
