At Home in Nature

NEWS FROM THE FARM AND RECIPES

We have three new friends this week: we rescued abandoned baby field mice and are giving them a warm, safe place to finish growing up.  In gardening news, we have planted our sprouts this week, and can't wait until next week when they are ready!  The cold weather continued and our hardy spring crops withstood the light dusting of snow.  We have tilled our aisles for spring, and the crops are looking GREAT.  Our baby ducks are just learning how to quack!  Not much new this week, but life isn't always full of excitement and it gives us a chance to savor this moment before the rush of summer flavor.
