Busy week on the farm. The wooden silo was taken down because it was no longer being used and had become a hazard. Our best cow had a lovely heifer, Jenna born on May 29th. The high tunnels has lots of greens ready for the CSA and the local restaurants. All the first cut hay has been made and away in the barn. Justin has been giving the cows paddocks of fresh grass daily. We transplanted 1200 peppers and eggplants this week. About 600 tomatoes went in on Thursday and Friday, with 500 more for next week. The corn is growing, the peas have climbed up their new trellis.















Justin and Ben have spent hours on the tractor emptying the cows' bedded pack,loading the spreader and making windrows of compost. Stephen and the fjords joined Justin with the spreader to fertilize one of the hay fields with 100,000lbs of compost.
