Well, you would think because winter has arrived the farm duties would slow down, however we have been busier then ever finishing up projects before the snow covers the ground. Lucky for us the days are short this time of year and Mother Nature is taking her time covering us with snow. We have missed out on two major snow storms, receiving just a dusting while areas around us are measuring their snow fall in feet. Every year our final projects are planting garlic, putting our beds to rest and clean up/pickup. The reoccurring landscaping project seems to get rescheduled to spring and then back to fall every year! The winter CSA started last week and despite numerous nights with below zero degrees, the greens look great.
After three years we are sill finding giant rocks in the beds
I always wonder "how did we miss these rocks the last time we worked in these beds!"
Collecting leaves from town and transporting them to the farm.After weeding the beds, we sheet layer them with plant matter, leaves, manure and then straw
A new growing space for next year
The garden beds all put to rest for a long winters nap
