making plans for the new season, what to plant, when, where, how much
etc... we've also been planning seed orders, and are placing them as we
can--and believe it or not...

April Update from Colvin Family Farm!
Flowers are blooming all over the farm scenting the air with Spring,
strawberries are climbing into full-scale production, and it's been so
wet we've had a hard time working in the fields on...

Hello folks!
Spring amazes me each year--no matter how much you're outdoors, and how
closely you watch each small change when it happens, suddenly it will
dawn on you that Spring has crept up on you again! This Spring is
definitely cool, and wet, which...

February Update from Colvin Family Farm!
Hello Folks!
I can't believe how quickly time is flying by! Signs of Spring are all

low seventies. Robins showed up by the hundred...

With the temperature hovering in the mid teens over the past week, the
2010 growing season is officially over! Offseasons are great for
regrouping, making new plans/goals, and catching up on farm maintenance
(or in this specific case catching up on...

We've had a delicious taste of Fall over the past week--definitely my
favorite season, Fall is refreshingly crisp, cool, sweet smelling--I
look forward to it coming in full strength later this month (I can't
believe that it's already September)!

Hello everybody!
It has been a great week! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing my brother Matt
as he was in on leave prepatory to being deployed for three years, and
the 26 year old "bach" brought a quite charming girlfriend to meet the
family as...

Sorry to all you blog readers that I didn't get this up last week! It's been another long, hot, dry week on the mountain--we've been busy
getting all of the Fall crops in, and we're trying to hold down the fort
watering! I hope you all enjoy...

We've had a great week!
Our main objective was to get our Fall crops planted--which we've
succeeded in doing most of them! Sweet Corn, Cabbage, Broccoli,
Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, Spinach, Carrots, on and on and on....we
look forward to the...

Well, flitter---the power just flickered and I lost everything, but just
the same I'm as tickled as can be! We are in the middle of a rain storm
that's already dumped more than an inch on our farm! That is a huge
load off of my mind as we've been...

We had 40 folks out to the farm yesterday for our first CSA shareholder
day ever--we did have a list of activities planned, but we spent so much
time touring the main field that we didn't have time for the games! Mom
did teach interested folks how to do...

As I type this, I've been run indoors by the rain--it's a nice gentle
rain, but there's certainly enough that we had to get in out of it. I'm
going to put together the newsletter, while Caleb and Isaac work on
washing and drying the Spinach that we were...

Hello everybody! As usual on our farm we've had a busy week full
of mundane things that we do every day of the week--along with a double
handful of things that have never happened before (just enough to keep
us hooked on farming)--It is fun to watch the...

Again, I'm late getting this out--by the time you all read this you have
probably already seen us at market. Because it is so late, this will
probably be one of the most "thrown together" newsletters yet as there
are hundreds of little things...

Hello Everybody! I tried to get this out yesterday, but our
trusty "old faithful" laptop up and died on us in the middle of creating
it. So, I am now creating this on our new Dell Inspiron Desktop
computer. It is about as much better than our...

Howdy everybody! I hope that you all will forgive me for putting
all of these pictures in here, but I "got happy" with this new DSL
Internet connection, and I really wanted you all to be able to "see" how
the farm looks right now!...

I
was tickled early one morning last week to be able to catch this
picture of a Blue Heron wading through the edge of our pond! We don't
normally have waterbirds land in our small pond, although we've had
wild ducks, Canadian geese etc.. before. This...

Over
the past month we've just about got all of our tillable land worked
over for the first time! It is necessary to work in your cover crop
well enough in advance of putting in your main crop so that it will
compost and add all of the nutrients that give...
