This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and working with a new employee at the farm - Jen. Jen is currently a 7th grade math teacher and will be working at the farm this summer. Welcome Jen!
A lot of our plants are ready to be transplanted into the field. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is predicting low's in the 30's and the possibility for frost until mid-week. However, we were able to transplant some lettuce in our new high tunnel. And, because kale and broccoli are able to tolerate the colder temperatures, we were able to transplant both into the field. At one point, Jen and I felt like we were re-living an episode of "I Love Lucy" - the one where Lucy is working in the chocolate factory. Farmer Joanie was driving the tractor through the field and Jen and I were on the back of the transplanter attempting to transplant into three rows - not an easy task with only two people. We transplanted 1080 broccoli plants. Not too bad for first-timers. And, we did have a laugh!
This blog is new for us. We hope to share news and information about the farm, the different people who work at the farm including our CSA work shares, recipes and more! Please let us know if there is something more you would like to hear about. Thanks!
