Double Oak Farm

Mark your calendars, we have a date! The store will open on Wednesday, May 13th with grand opening specials scheduled for Friday and Saturday, May 15th and 16th.

By then we should have some produce ready and we will also have a selection of flowers, vegetable plants, hanging baskets and eggs.

The wet weather has put us behind on our planting schedule and we are scrambling to catch up. Rod and DJ were up late last night getting the first of the sweet corn planted and they spent today planting heirloom tomatoes and getting the beds ready for the watermelon and cantaloupe.

I spent today spreading mulch, tilling and preparing vegetable beds and planting carrots and radishes. I'll transplant lettuce, bok choy, fennel, dill, kale, and swiss chard tomorrow.

I spent a wonderful but exhausting day yesterday down in Daviess County. I visited the Graber farm and enjoyed their hospitality for my noon meal. I was also able to pick up my daughters sweet pea plants from their green house. We will get those transplanted on Monday. I also saw Rod and DJ long enough to finalize some business documents.

Eventually we will get everything at the store ready to go. We are still painting and cleaning and it seems like it will never end. That along with a million other little details have us all running ragged.

The excitement of the store opening, the CSA starting and farmers market season keeps us going. We can't wait to visit with you all this summer.
