What Farmers Do In the Winter

Hello All!

We hope you are enjoying your winter season.

Contrary to popular belief, farmers do not head south to hide from the winter.  

Believe it or not, farmers still have A LOT to do even if we cannot grow anything.  

Winter is a time for us to:

Plan our plantings and seed for the upcoming harvest season......



Re-decorate and make improvements to our displays.......


And if necessary, build more......

Start planting our bedding plants and ferns (which take about 9 months to grow!)


Keep our seedlings in our greenhouses warm by loading up our coal burners......

And,like you, shovel and plow lots of snow!

    Don't you just love this time of year? I just started really getting my hands back into the dirt last week with getting our seed starting mixes ready. This year I making a more nutritious blend and trying out the soil block makers I got online.
    I have been dabbling in hydroponics a little bit this winter and was able to grow some lettuce.

    have a great spring.
