Check out some great produce Oxbow Meats. Its awesome to shop there because you can create entire meals with local products from veggies, to meat, to sauces. They really have great stuff.

Garlic scape season is starting to wind down for us with some final pushes of harvesting to clear the plants so they can shift their energy to bulb development. We harvest our most tender scapes for fresh eating, then the older woody ones we hang dry to allow the flowers to develop off the plant and cure into bulblets which we then turn into delicious finishing salts.

More brassica dahlias. We flipped our dahlia seedling beds in fall and any dahlia seedlings that didn't make the cut were thrown in the rubbish bin or tilled under. Since we only do a light tilth on the surface to mix in amendments it must not have damaged many of the tubers. And then the freezes and snow didn't seem to either. This late winter we rotated brassicas in these rows so loads of mustards, kales and cabbages and then about 30 dahlia seedlings popped up in the holes. All our main cutting dahlia tubers are planted and sprouted and growing nicely in our new plot, about half our cuttings are planted and a small patch of our collerette seedlings. So still a lot of dahlias going in the ground each day, but these ones left in the row from last year were the first up and the first to bloom.

First high tunnel pipes are going in tonight. We've been eagerly anticipating installing these for three years and finally its happening. We are so excited for year-round growing and a little more buffering of the crazy weather. Anyone else.grpwong in tunnels, what do you have growong inside?Hoping to get this one done in the next few days so we can get our last two successions of tomatoes in the ground and our last four rows of peppers.

We sold out our potatoes today, but we'll have more ready for tomorrow at the Boyle County Farmers' Market at Greenleaf Plaza Danville 10-2pm. This time of year its so amazing to eat an entire dinner of farm grown and made food with almost no prep. We roasted one of our pasture raised chickens in the slow cooker while we were out farming, and made a huge sheet pan with all veggies from the farm. This is just minimal chopping, sprites with olive oil and sea salt and roasted in the oven. And then we enjoyed some fresh sourdough bread just out of Nana's oven (she does a 72hr ferment, so more work there but she makes it each week for us to enjoy). Mine was of course slathered with our strawberry rhubarb jam. Our CSAs got most of these veggies this week and some added on our new offering of pastured raised chicken. We still have a few shares open, if interested, message us. If your not doing sheet pan roasted veggies, boy are you in for a treat, this just might be the easiest dinner on the planet.

Finally, its off to the races with our new release of jam. We did our first run of strawberry rhubarb jam and it screams springtime on the farm. Super sweet strawberries balanced with tart rhubarb are the perfect combo for slathering on some homemade sourdough bread, a delicious fresh biscuit or with some cheese on your favorite chartuterie board. Anyway you like it, grab some today at the Boyle County Farmers' Market, and spread some joy with your friends and family. The rhubarb plants are monsters this year so I'm hoping to get one more batch before the seasons over, but grab some quick as we usually sell out fast.

First row of extra early Red Norland potatoes harvested. We yielded 2.3lbs per bed foot which is pretty good for extra early. The plants were very healthy, no flowering yet but potatoes were starting to push up on soil surface which is when we harvest the extra early. We only had one potato in the whole row with a little nibble, so we had very low pest pressure with organic growing and no spraying. They could have easily gone another 2-3 weeks for bigger potatoes but we have two more rows of early so we decided to pull these now to have early potatoes for our markets. They are a perfect roasting size which is our favorite. The small new potatoes will already be available this week at Boyle County Farmers' Market, the larger cured ones will be ready starting in 2 weeks. These are the bigger ones that we started curing today. They'll cure in our barn on vertical racks for 7-14 days.

First red norland potatoes harvested for the season. We pulled over 100 lbs out of a partial row which we are pretty happy with since these were our extra early ones. So we will now have delicious Kentucky Proud organic potatoes at the Boyle County Farmers' Market this weekend and at our retail partners soon. We already roasted a batch and they are perfection.

We sold out our garlic scapes at the markets this past weekend, but dont worry, we'll be restocking this week and ready for round too. We love garlic scapes for so many reasons, but mainly because they taste amazing. They also freeze great, keep almost 2 months in the fridge, cure into mini garlic bulbs and make fun structural elements in flower bouquets. We harvest the most tender ones for fresh eating, then ones we dont get to fast enough that are too hard and fiborous, we hang upside down in our drying barn to cure to make our famous garlic flower finishing salt for sale later in the season. And once they are all harvested we can give our garlic one last boost before they move all their energy to bulb formation.

Our first successions of tomatoes have reached the point that we've started trellising them. This year we are doing both indeterminate heirlooms and determinant hybrids. The indeterminate will supply many of our Restaurants, Wholesale accounts, CSAs and Farmers Markets. These are specialty tomatoes and the plants will produce the whole season. Then for most of our canning we are doing high production determinant successions. We've planted out two successions so far and they are doing great. These will have a heavy harvest over 3 weeks then we'll tear out the plants and either cover crop the row or plant a new crop in it's place. We are loving the new basket weave method with Jans fancy retofitted backpack/twine and pvc pipe setup. Its really saving Jans back and he's doing a whole 100ft row in about 20 minutes versus well over an hour when we did it just with our hands last year.
