This week on the farm...

What a great week on the farm! Sunshine, fresh greens, thriving seeds, mud, and watching our animals soak in the early spring hues... glorious. 

As the snow melts, we shift into gear starting to get to work on organization for much needed spring projects and cleanup. Farmer Kyle and Farmer Stevo (Amy's dad) plugged away this week at equipment maintenance, tuning up the tractors and implements for the upcoming season. We also are working on building greenhouses down in our vegetable fields, so we can get some crops in the ground such as salanova salad, winterbor kale, swiss chard, radishes, turnips, and more! We are excited to get going with this new land and seeing how it all goes! It is a bit overwhelming and a little nerve racking never having grown veggies here, but we do know the conditions of the fields are incredible and just can't wait to witness what unfolds. 

We are planning to build an outside corral for our animals this week so they can start to enjoy the outside before we herd them out to pasture later this spring. Our new pig friends, Thelma and Louise, seem to be adjusting to their new home just fine, and loving their cozy digs and chicken friends. The layer gals have picked up production which is great, and we are also welcoming 180 new layers to the farm this coming week! They are young and will start to lay in a month or so. They will be housed in a different greenhouse and then brought out to pasture once it warms and drys up! So, eggs are on the up my friends! 

Overall, feeling great, nervous, excited...all the things. Here's to a beautiful Spring!
