So Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, we had a failure of the heating system for an extended period of time. I was in at 6:45 am Wednesday morning the inside temp was 24.5 degrees. The pictures tell the whole story. Nothing survived the night. Very, very difficult day. I pulled all 5 hydroponic pumps, drained them out, blew out the plumbing lines and left. Farming anything is a fight in New England. But we're not done by any stretch. We'll be up and running again. At this point we have a couple of issues against us. First we are almost at the shortest length of daylight which determines growth rates. Second is the heating costs in winter. Normally, product moves out every week, cash flow comes in. Now, however it will be at least 6 weeks minimum before we can generate any money.
So the most likely scenario at this point is to start seedlings and plants off site in a "grow room" situation. We're playing with dates and numbers to get a realistic opening date. Our guess is somewhere around April 1st to maybe the 15th. Daylight will be much stronger then and we can push the heat higher for less cost.
Gail and I want to thank all of our loyal customers and friends for your support. You folks are the best. We'll update you with thoughts, pictures, and ideas.
Thanks to all
God bless you
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year
Stay Safe

This past week wasn't much better than last. Not for anything wrong but making sure greenhouse it tight and weatherize. We're going to (hopefully) convert our wood pellet boiler to burn much cheaper wood chips. Our highest expense if fuel for heat. Our boiler is carbon neutral but its efficiency is less than half of what the manufacturer has claimed.
It's going to be a bit of an engineering challenge to make this work but we are going to succeed.
I have a good background in building equipment and systems to meet special needs. We'll be constructing an auger conveyor system to move wood chips from a storage bin into the boiler at the proper speed and rate required by the computer control panel. This will require wood chips of a certain size to move through the system without jamming and clogging.
Going to require chipping material to a certain size and screening out oversize material. We'll keep you posted on progress as we move forward.
We spent part of this past week traveling and talking with suppliers, and manufacturers.
Anyone needing produce,text me with a list and Monday we'll get it ready for you. Right now we're out of Romaine for about a week until the next crop matures. We will begin updates every couple of days to keep everyone informed.
Thanks
Bob and Gail

Hello folks:
It's been a crazy hellish couple of weeks. We removed and replaced the greenhouse film with 2 new layers with an air blower inflating it which gives us a much better insulation value.
We started on Saturday morning folding back the poly to add covering to the back of the greenhouse. Then the wind kicked up to 40 plus mph.
2 layers of plastic 48 feet by 75 feet became a giant, dangerous kite.
Being unsafe, and unable to install the new front covering, we had to wait until Sunday morning to do that. Some product took a bit of a beating exposed to the wind and weather, but it was necessary to do it. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Hello folks it's Friday morning and I need to share some comments with you as well as a question or two.
So we need to change our business model and application. Most of you know that Gail I rent the greenhouse. The owner of the greenhouse has decided that he doesn't want anybody on the property as a retail customer. Obviously we're not happy about this but I understand it, and we respect his decision.
So now the question, we need to reach out to you folks to try to figure out how we can get this product to you. We have a very, very loyal and awesome customer base, and we are so pleased and humbled by this,and we thank you from the bottom of our heart.
We're not going anywhere and we need to figure out the best way to get our products out to you.
I'm sending out my personal cell number to , which is also on the back of our business card.
It's 774-696-9799 Bob Palmer.
You can also text to this number.
We've spent most of this week trying to figure this out.
Some ideas are
Trying to find a central spot where customers can come to pick up an order.
Some kind of delivery service or drop off.
A small location for pick up.
We would obviously welcome anyone's thoughts or ideas on this.

Until we can finalize something we will try to have you folks text or call me with what you need,
( we have posted pictures with names of most products to facebook) we'll get it ready for you and probably meet you at the end of the driveway. A lousy system to say the least, but I guess we need to start somewhere.
Gail and I would ask that you bear with us through this transition period until we can put in place a system that works the best for you.
We've taken on another person who is a grower of microgreens. His name is Will Rannikko. He owns 508 greens.
[email protected]
He's a very aggressive and motivated young man. Smart,young,focused, and driven to succeed. Will has been taking care of our facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and social media. Something that I have very little knowledge of. The future is looking bright for Muddy Paws. Please come along with us on our journey forward.

Hey folks. Just want to let you know Wednesday and Thursday we'll be closed. Gail has some minor surgery scheduled and zI will be with her. Also we'll be making some changes that I will bring you up to speed on Thursday. Which should make things more convenient and easier for our customers. Gail and I want to thank all of our loyal customers (friends) for your support.
Saturday we changed the plastic on the greenhouse. We recovered the back. But had to wait until Sunday morning to do the front. 45 mph winds. 2800 square foot plastic was like a giant kite. But we got it done. Thanks to my brother Jim, Gail, my awesome nephew Shawn and his lovely wife Joanne.

Did a full teardown and renovation on our outdoor wood pellet boiler yesterday. We use wood pellets recycled from materials that wouldn't be otherwise used. Carbon neutral, to do our part to be green.
Have heat running for our plants

Those of you going to pick up produce. I have to meet a trailer truck between 1 to 5 Wednesday to offload a pallet with a roll of plastic 48 ft x100ft for the greenhouse. 290 lbs have to use the forklift to move it down. I have to leave by 12:30 pm. So plan accordingly. 4 hour delivery window is a little much, but nothing I can do about it. Sorry.😕🥺
