Double R Farm (Amish Country Soaps & Sundries)

Here in Sugarcreek the weather has been a bit crazy. It warmed up, cooled down, and the other day we even had  sleet and hail! It's almost May and many of us still have our heat on. Very unseasonable weather for us.

 It's also has not been the best weather for planting and growing, but the weather this weekend is suppossed to be glorious with temperatures reaching in the 70's-80's. Plantng season is upon us, so last weekend we managed to get a cultivator to help with the tilling. We normally have an Amish neighbor do the tilling for us, but we decided to till an area 2-3 times larger than usual. We hope to accomodate the additional requests for  CSAs and get more veggies grown for the markets.

We have seen a steady increase in requests for naturally grown produce, and a greater interest in the farm.I imagine that  with every new food scare that is announced more and more people are worried about how and where their food is grown.I can't say I blame them. I like to know where my food comes from too. The more natural and local the better.
