We've been enjoying "new potatoes"....

Wow! Hasn't this been an interesting growing season? The potatoes look great, but the haying is a real challenge this year!

While August will give me more beachtime, Ivy will have a rest from washing and packaging potatoes for the Saturday Northampton Market. Yes, we will want to see all of our loyal customers at the farm this fall!

Donovan Farm will grow winter keeping potatoes this year to market from the farm. We will not be at the Northampton Farmers Market after 22 years of attending. I will miss all of the friends that I've shared Saturday mornings with.

The red winged blackbirds came in a huge flock today to land around the fields by the house. With mother nature playing an April Fools joke on us tomorrow I hope the weather forecasters are wrong! We're in the "up to a foot of snow" area!

Donovan Farm is comprised of 350 acres of mixed forest and open tillable land. The potatoes have been grown organically since 1984 with many different varieties tried over the years. At 1800 to 2000 feet above sea level the views are incredible and the changing seasons always have something visual to delight us.

As March goes by the snow is melting, the wind still howls, and the birds are beginning to arrive. This week we've seen bluebirds in the pasture!
