It was a busy day at the Ferndale farm today! We had all hands on deck for pulling plastic onto the new high tunnel. Always a good time 😊 (as long as there is no wind a-blowin’)
Lowell did not want to miss out on the fun (he has a big case of FOMO when it comes to exciting farm activities involving the crew), so I made sure we were there bright and early. Packed breakfast for us and there by 7:30. ☀️
We also harvested for our first wholesale order of the season! 🥗 🥬 Fresh greens are heading to in the morning!
This afternoon, Ben disced up more of the field where we’ll plant brassicas, greens, roots, herbs, and late successions of zucchini. With so much going on last year with the new baby, we neglected to fill up the Ferndale field like we have in the past, but we’re determined to get back to pre-baby production levels there this year.
It was nice spending some mellow time at the farm with the boys this morning. We love raising them out there. It’s a good place for a kid to grow up. 💛 And an excellent place for a kid to pretend to be a pirate, in Lowell’s case.
