The Depot Farm

  March is always time of transition on the farm. Warmer temps melt the snow and turn any bare patch into mud. Optimism is in the air. While having started some long season vegetables indoors, it's still too early to propagate most yet. Basic maintainance and repairs on the equipment continue and some pieces are being replaced after a long life. The overall hard winter (snow and extreme cold) has created a large amount of repair work to the fences and the cold frame. The snow is still too deep to attempt any projects outside of the plowed areas in the yard. If you walk off the beaten down paths, you sink into 2 1/2 ft. snow. Spring will be here soon enough. I'm content doing what I can when the weather allows.

This year's CSA signup is progressing ahead of schedule, most people from last year are returning again, and some new faces are joining our family. I always look forward to renewing friendships and making new ones. We have added some new varieties this year and will try some different veggies to add to the mix. Feedback from our members always help guide our planting. Being a small farm, we try to cater to our member's tastes. Variety and selection help to keep the weekly pickups fresh with different foods and textures throughout the season. Happy growing!
