Well, the inevitable has happened and a freeze event has taken place at the farm. As noted in the Special Update, the freezing temps lasted approximately 3 hours, with a full, light freeze across the property. While there may be areas of the field that did not suffer full loss, the general assumption is that […]

A freeze event took place this morning, with temps dropping below 32F starting at 4:15am, and bottoming out at 29.2F. Temps remained below the freezing point for approximately 3 hours. It is expected that all non-hardy plants will succumb to the event. Any additional relevant information will be included in the next update.

It’ll be a bit of bullets point update this week, as I am both running late, and still have a ton of stuff left to do today. Biggest news, the Pumpkin Patch is set up, though I have still not been able to get all the different pumpkins and gourds picked. All 3 types of […]

Apologies for the slightly delayed update, but it’s been that kind of week, and it’s only halfway over.

On the farm the preparations for the season change have been underway for some time. I’ve been scouting through the Pumpkin (yeah, I […]

I do hope everyone has been enjoying the nicer, cooler, and generally more stable weather we’ve had of late. Seems like it might, maybe, kinda, could possibly be, a halfway decent second half of summer. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see though. Things here are moving along pretty well. Lettuce is still […]

It’ll be a bit of a quick update, as I am running a couple of hours behind schedule today. The big news is my SWEET CORN is ready. Be aware that given my superstitions about corn growing up here on the mountaintop, any time I mention it I am knocking on wood. Not too much […]

Beyond that though, most things on the farm are proceeding like usual, and honestly it’s weirding me out a little. In the field I’ve lost at least a couple of hundred plants. Sadly, most of the losses […]
