Kiss My Grass Farm

Just wanted to to drop you a note about the Secret Garden tour in Brown County, Indiana taking place July 11 & 12th.
 
The tour features gardens that are not usually open to the public. It is sponsored by the garden club and is one of their major fundraisers for the year. The garden club uses the proceeds to fund projects like landscaping for Habitat for Humanity homes. It is a driving tour featuring 5 gardens throughout Brown County.
 
We are very excited to be the first working garden featured on the tour!

We are planning to offer walking tours of the farm on the hour. The tour will include not only the gardens but an introduction to our pastured poultry and the egg mobile, a stop at the apiary, a visit with our heritage cattle herd, the haflingers & Shetland sheep and a chance to feed a biscuit to our critically rare Red Wattle Hogs. We are looking forward to this great opportunity to re-aquaint folks with family farming and where their food comes from. 
 
Tickets are available from the Brown County Visitors and Convention Bureau all week or from a garden club member or they may be purchased the day of the tour at any of the garden stops. Below is the information from the Bureau's site with a link to the brochure.

Come on out and support a good cause!

 
Take care,

HURRAH! the weather report doesn't call for any significant rain for the next 4 days.
Hopefully that will dry things out enough to finish getting the first plantings into the garden. :)

Our workingshare CSa folks will have lots to do this week in the garden.

I haven't done much blogging on here lately. So today I'll be posting more than one!

 Have a great day

Daffodils blooming, grass growing, piglets rooting, chicks peeping and the lambs frolicking in the field. It's spring and all's right with my world. :)

 It was a trying winter around our place. Brian was in a cast, I had pneumonia and a straight line wind took out barn down. 

But now it's spring and we're both better. The barn's still broken but we've taken this disaster and turned it into an opportunity to redesign the barn to better suit our critters.

We've got our new greenhouse up. Just a little leveling to do inside and we'll be able to use it. All the little seedlings are nestled in warm and snug right now in our sunroom.We've got lettuce and spinach up under floating row covers in the garden and i'm hoping for 3-4 dry days so Brian can till the balance of the garden. I need to get more veggies in and I want to get my strawberry patch moved.

 It's all very exciting! This is my favorite time of year with everything waking up and all the possibilities stretching out into the future.
