the Dome on a snowy day
Hello friends,
Winter is slowly approaching here at Buckhorn Gardens. This week, we sadly said goodbye to most of our outdoor veggies. With the heavy snowfall and low temperatures, only a bed of arugula, spinach and some carrots remain. However, what a delight it was to shovel away the snow and uncover the arugula to find these fields of green!

Not to worry though, as many farms are winding down, the
Buckhorn crew has been hard at work, prepping and filling up all the high
tunnels with your favorite greens. We are happy to say that the last of the
greenhouses has been planted with several varieties of spinach, chard, kale,
mustards, lettuce, and many more, to fill your CSA orders and your tummies with
veggies throughout the winter!
This week,
we also welcomed two new members to the farm family, Big Red and Oreo. This
spring, they will help us improve our crop beds by rooting up weeds and add
fertility to the soil as they graze. For now, they are busy munching on
leftover food scraps and keeping warm during the winter months.
Come by the farm to see our winter operation and meet these little piglets, or come visit us at the Montrose Winter Market from 10-1 most Saturdays!
