Ashford Business Expo Tomorrow!
We will be at the Ashford Business Association‘s Home Show and Business Expo tomorrow (Saturday, March 24) from 10-2:30 at Knowlton Hall, 25 Pompey Hollow Rd, Ashford, CT 06278. We are happy to talk with you about our farm and growing practices, so please come out if you have any questions! Our table will have information about the farm, a free herb potting activity, and a few items for sale: fresh spinach & 6-pack lettuce transplants. Hope to see you there!
Spring is Coming…
Our greenhouse is already 1/3 full with seedlings for the 2018 CSA and markets. Most of these crops are pretty cold tolerant, with the exception of the tomatoes, which we have on heat mats and insulate at night. It’s exciting to see so much “green” this time of year!
Double on the Deutz
We’re going to the 3rd Annual Know Your Farmer Fair tomorrow, but we think it should be a “Know Your Tractor” fair. Some of ours have some pretty interesting stories. Our tractor Bruce, for instance, has a song written about him! We purchased Bruce the Deutz from Simple Gifts Farm in 2014, and apparently one of their crew members wrote the song below. Although he still needs some work, we have been using Bruce to work on our fields in Ashford where we grow rye straw.
Beautiful views of the Fenton River valley
Here are some photos of early February at Willow Valley Farm and Fenton River Farm (our neighbors). They raise beef cows, and provide a great source of manure for our compost!
