We Survived the Weather

Blog: City of Hudson Farmers Market   -   Sunday October 25, 2009   -   By Virginia

We survived a monsoon on Saturday and were thankful that our loyal customers came out to shop.  We were impressed that our featured guest,  the EARTH Club from Cairo-Durham High School, stuck it out through some pretty heavy rain and presented...

Blog: Westminster Farmers' Market   -   Monday September 21, 2009   -   By Dean

What's going on???

Blog: The Berry Patch   -   Saturday September 05, 2009   -   By Mary Pat and Jason

Well it has been the absolute  worst growing season we could have asked for! Maybe we need to pray a little louder for next year. The cold nights really took a toll on everything that we have. Even the zucchini didn't take off like it usually does....

Changing of the Seasons

Blog: Wise Acre Farm   -   Saturday August 08, 2009   -   By Mary

Arbuckle, California is known for it's almond production. There are almond orchards as far as the eye can see in our small town. The beginning of almond harvest is always an exciting time for me because it signals that fall is on the way - my favorite time of...

Blog: The Garden Fairy   -   Friday July 17, 2009   -   By Ronda

Wow, time has flew by! Our Spring here has been long and cold. The Farm is now starting to look very beaurtiful after weeks of rain, hail, and even snow. We built frames to go over all the raised beds to either attach plastic or shade cloth to. I usually use...

The Garden is in Full Swing

Blog: Zoey Farms   -   Friday June 19, 2009   -   By Eric & Su

The weather is wacky in Northern California, but I like it. Now the plants, I'm not so sure. They are growing well, and we have green tomatoes on the vines, as well as cucumber, pea and bean flowers, so something must be right. Each week now, we send out an...

Boulder Belt Farm Share Initiative, Week 10

Blog: Boulder Belt Eco-Farm   -   Monday June 15, 2009   -   By Lucy

It's been another busy week on the farm. First of all, I am happy to report that the storms of last week were easy on us. Eaton got golf ball sized hail. We got no hail at all and very little rain out of that storm (but we did get over 1/2 inch the next day)....

Is it me, or is it just the weather?

Blog: OtterBee's Farm and Fungi   -   Monday June 15, 2009   -   By Rich & Kathleen

I'm sitting here pondering - is it the unusual weather we've been having, or am I just missing something here? Let me explain...the garlic, which was planted last October, ought to be bulbing up by now, but so far, nothing; the potatoes (LaRattes and...

It's a rainy day in Oregon...

Blog: OtterBee's Farm and Fungi   -   Saturday May 02, 2009   -   By Rich & Kathleen

Rain, rain, go away...but not really - the new raspberry patch and fingerling taters are loving it right about now! Funny how Ma Nature steps in right when one needs her! Let me explain: earlier this Spring, we chose to site the new berry patch...

Winter in April

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Tuesday April 07, 2009   -   By Laura

It looks like December outside.  It's the kind of weather that's nice at that time of year, big snowflakes dancing merrily in a slight wind over the neighbor's field.  If it were December, instead of April, I'd be curled up with a book, with a nice...

Mother Nature Amnesia

Blog: Nebraska Crop Tops   -   Saturday April 04, 2009   -   By Farmer Ed

Has Mother Nature a slight case of amnesia?  We are ready for Spring already!!!  I am thankful we have a hoop house.  I was able to go out and till up a couple of beds in the hoop house.  We'll be setting transplants of lettuce and spinach...

Burrrr! Just when you thought Spring was Here

Blog: Golden Touch Alpaca Farm   -   Monday March 23, 2009   -   By Shelley

We were spoiled with a beautiful weekend and silly us, we expected it to stay like that! For a second there, I forgot we live in New England. As the saying goes, "If you don't like the Weather, just wait a minute." Unfortunately that holds true the...

Altitude Matters to Crops

Blog: Re Rustica   -   Monday March 09, 2009   -   By fullofbeans

Altitude matters to crops in many ways. The higher elevations are cooler and grow several months behind schedule of the valleys: a farm that grows both at several hundred feet elevation and at the more than 3000 feet elevation of Squaw Valley can have winter...

Blog: Happy Hills Alpaca Farm   -   Tuesday March 03, 2009   -   By wawanuky

Cold weather and march snow storm in the Carolinas...go figure. Its been a very cold winter here but the alpacas love it. Native to the high altiplano of the Andes, this is a piece of cake for them. And no wonder..       &nbs...
