Tomatoes are in the ground!

It was a good weekend on the farm! The weather stayed dry and warm(ish) which gave us the ability to begin planting our tomatoes! Over the weekend we planted close to 1,000 tomatoes plants! We are excited for the weather this week because it continues to warm up and highs in the 70s and even 80s! We will be planting thousands of plants through the week, and not only tomatoes. We have peppers, melons, cole crops and more to transplant to the fields.

We are very excited for the upcoming farm season and are expecting it to be one of the best we´ve had! Be sure to come by the Minneapolis Market on Saturday and Sunday to say hello and pick up some Maple Syrup!

New mower!

A new mower may not sound very exciting to most, but living on the farm we have acres of land that have to be mowed! Having a quality working mower can transform the look of the farm! We made it through 2017 using an old mower with 1 working blade and a battery that needed to be charged every time you used it. Now we have a brand new 46" 22hp Cub Cadet mower!

Spring time on the farm comes with many things to do beyond working in the field. There is a lot of upkeep that starts in order to keep the farm looking great! We have many acres of mowing, a treenline that needs to be kept up, flower gardens to be cleaned up and mulched and so many little projects all alround the farm. We could work from dawn until dusk every single day and still not be able to be fully caught up.

When it comes to field work, we have accomplished plenty of that as well! We continue to plant tomatoes, of course. We started three fields of pumpkins, squash and gourds. We have finished most of it but have also been delayed due to wet fields and lack of time. We have also planted onions, beans, peas, radishes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, zucchini and more!

We are off to a fantastic start to our season! We're very excited to have a fantastic farming season with outstanding produce!
