Clayton Farmers' Market and Small Farm Animals

Sunshine, gusty wind, sporadic rains, cold night temps and warmer day temps - this is NE Washington State Springtime!

Low temps have been in the 30's while the highs have been in the low 70's and upper 60's.  However, the weatherman tells us that for the next week our high temps will be about 20 degrees lower -

Raised beds have been planted - peas, Touchon carrots, heirloom beets, onions, kale and swiss chard; about the first week in June the squash, tomato, cantaloupe and cucumber plants will be 'set out'.

 In our are of NE Washington State we are in USDA Zone 4 - which means we have about 90 days of growing weather - we cannot garden accidentally.  We have to really want to 'garden' in this area.  

 Springtime always brings the baby lambs, kids, foals and calves.  The enjoyment of watching the farm babies is always entertaining, too.

The first Sunday in June is Clayton Farmers Market 2013 opening day.  One of our faithful garden produce vendors has moved to Alaska.  Shadow Seven Ranch family has gone onto another adventure in the North Country of Alaska.  We wish the SS Ranch the very best.

Another season to enjoy our bountiful harvest!  Shop Local and Buy Local at your Farmers Market.
