Greetings! As we ease out of this odd winter, things are moving quickly at the farm. The root cellar is nearly empty, and the greenhouse is filling up with onions, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower transplants. Dave has already seeded green onions and carrots in the high tunnels, and cover crop has been mowed and tarped in preparation for cucumbers and tomatoes.

The rest of the seasonal crew will be ramping up their activity over the course of the next few weeks, and we’re still looking for one more crew member. If you know of anyone who is interested in doing difficult but meaningful work with a great group of people, please have them be in touch with us!

We’re a little nervous that the irrigation pond is only about 2/3 full. After 25 years, this is the first season that it hasn’t filled with snowmelt! Hopefully we’ll get a little bit more consistent rainfall than last summer. Ultimately, we’re at the mercy of mother nature but we feel pretty well prepared for whatever the season brings and we’re grateful to be on this journey with you!

For the farm crew,

Janaki
