Good news - Our seedlings seem to have weathered the May frost just fine here in Hollis. Phew! Pictured are our survivor peppers and tomatoes.

We are weeks into getting the summer harvest seedlings transplanted out of the greenhouse and into the warming ground. The first phase of corn is planted, these tomatoes and peppers are all in, along with flowers and eggplant.

It was a crisis averted that cucumbers weren't planted yet as the cold probably would have killed them. Cucumbers are up next to be planted.

Happy June!

Hey it's cold out there! This is a rough weather day and a good time to highlight how important Hollis farms are to this region. Just a town or two over, just a little higher elevation, it was snowing. Hollis farmland is worth conserving.

Check out an article Farmer Jeff wrote for The Positively Hollis Post , "Hollis Agriculture's Role in Local and Regional Food Security" to learn even more about this town's unique assets - link in the comments.

Another cold snap is coming through, another row cover deployed to keep everyone safe. Tucked in under here are our eggplant seedlings. The best tasting baba ganoush you've ever had starts right here!

This spring is certainly exercising our "hurry up and wait" muscles!

Well this is quite the temperatures roller coaster, isn't it! We're expecting cold temperatures tonight so the zucchini is all tucked in, warm & toasty. The row cover will give just enough insulation to keep any of the seedlings from getting a chill.

Cheer on the rain today, this is good! If the gray sky has you a little down, just think of all your crisp, spring vegetables getting a great boost!

After a good rain, root for some nice warm sun and P**F these crops will pop!

Celebrate our new arrivals with us! Blueberries and raspberries have joined the Begin Family Farm family! 🎉
🫐
The plants arrived early last week and so the whole week was heads down, all hands on deck to get them into the ground. Our future pick-your-own berry patch, there are 500 Reka blueberry bushes, a few hundred of other varieties and a few hundred raspberries. All together, one thousand plants are set to establish and grow as a permanent fixture in our field.
🫐
We got an assist from an impressive crew of elementary students who planted a whole row of bushes. I hope as they come back to visit over the years, they feel proud and connected to this berry patch growing up with them.
🫐
It will take a few years for the plants to develop so stick with us, organically-grown berries are in the future!

Some important housekeeping before CSA pickups start: Make sure you're getting Farmer Jeff's emails!
🌸
CSA Members should have received an email on Saturday (May 2) with some farm updates and information about our Flower Seedling Sale. If you don't have it or you'd like additional members of your household added to the email list, please reach out and let us know. These emails from Jeff are your main communication for all things CSA from now through the fall.
🌸
*I know there are 2 people who we don't have contact info for - we are so glad to have you aboard, please reach out so we can keep you in the loop!*
🌸
For those who are not members yet, if you join the CSA by Friday, you're invited to the seedling sale too! We have a small amount this year as we transition and expand our operations.
