Spring is here in Colorado
Spring in Colorado is a great time and a very busy time for us here on the farm. We have already planted carrots and peas and the greenhouse is growing strong.
This week was spent prepping our rows and setting up the drip lines in the upper beds. We are using several different methods of planting and growning this year.
We are using a biointensive method, hydroponic method, square foot method and raised beds.
This year will be our first year of inviting people to the farm so we would like to be able to show different types of farming methods used by small farmers that can be adapted to a home garden.
Our CSA starts in just 4 weeks and we hope to have a good early selection ready to go. Most of the early crops will be coming from the greenhouse.
We picked up our Turkey's and they are already 6 weeks old we still have them in the small pen and not ready for the larger area yet. They are so funny and different from chickens.
