Richert/Phillips Farms

   We started seeding in the greenhouse for spring planting in the field. The cabbages, broccoli, and cauliflower has already started popping their little heads up. Tomatoes need a little more time. This is a good time of year--maple sap is running, greenhouse is going, and our season is nearly planned out. But, the best part is after most days work is done we gather around the cooker and talk--it is like a sauna the steam rolling off the cooking sap and the heat from burners with that sweet maple smell--what a way to end the day. Also, this is really the only time of the year we(us, neighbors, and other farmers) can spend some time together with out being rushed--tall tales and how to have a perfect farm.
