There has been a lot going on this week. Too much really. We are getting things done, which is fantastic, but there have also been a few dumb mistakes that come with trying to do too much. Parts of some orders were missed and we are still sorting that out, we forgot to bring bags […]
Planting has officially begun. Last Thursday we got a bunch of seeds planted in the field and Friday we were able to run the transplanter for a few hours and got most of a bed of lettuce plus one and a bit rows of cabbage planted out. There is lots left to do, but it […]
It’s looking like a rainy start to the week and with the above freezing forecast for the next while that means we are behind on field work and planting. First there is some equipment to get home, and some figuring on how to get by without our normal planting tractor until it is done repairs. […]
What do you get when you cross a busy week in the greenhouse with a busy week lambing? Springtime on the farm! After a sudden start to a busy lambing season last Sunday the rest of the week hasn’t abated much in pace. Sure there were days without new lambs, but not many, and the […]

Not something we might have decided for ourselves, but it was actually really nice. Today we start another busy day of spring activity so I’ll dive right into this […]

But there is still stuff happening so we’ll get right in to this week’s update. We are continuing to transplant tomatoes into the production houses. The first ones are really […]
It’s been a busy week, but we survived. Even got a few things done we weren’t counting on. But as busy weeks tend to go, some tasks have been pushed on to the following week. The front of the house is a bit torn up right now with the accessibility upgrades, but it seems that […]
