Soup du jour!

Another running gear is painted. My buddy, Rick Wilkening and I got the running gear ready to go. So today we got it painted. It didn't take too long, but of course we had to wait for the paint to dry before we could put the wheels back on. While we were...

Love Is In the Air!

Blog: Meadow Valley CSA   -   Monday February 06, 2012   -   By Lyndy

Blog: Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce   -   Sunday February 05, 2012   -   By Jeff

Blog: Bountiful Blessings Farm Produce   -   Monday January 30, 2012   -   By Jeff

Today is the first of the week and time to start getting the hotbed built. I have decided to build a nice little hotbed to extend the season. It would be nice to have lettuce, beets, greens, spinach and other cool crop veggies available early this year. So,...

Welcome Rain!

Blog: Good Earth Farmers   -   Saturday January 21, 2012   -   By Stephen
