Update for 2020-2021

After not actively doing anything with the farm for about 3 years, the greenhouses have all collapsing due to heavy snow load and lack of maintenance, and the fields becoming overwhelmed with weeds, etc. I think it’s time for a complete Restart.

The upcoming year of 2021 will be spent focusing on a complete overhaul of the Farm’s infrastructure.
Lots of planning is starting for the new farm layout now that both greenhouses are gone.
This includes:
-Running new water lines, power, and providing better accessibility to upcoming and future growing areas where they’ll be needed.
– Planning for a Larger Greenhouse Dedicated to seed/plant Propagation, as well as sprout production.
– Plans for new exterior irrigation sheds for automated watering equipment and storage of tools and supplies for the growing areas/sites.
– Layout and locations of future greenhouses
– New and Improved Website.
– Removal of troublesome trees
– Addition of even more Fruit Trees
– Planning and layout for new fencing to prevent deer, raccoon, etc. damage to the fields and orchards.
– Redesign the new area for free-range chickens for egg production and future Frier and Roaster production, and possible other feathered livestock.
-Etc. Etc. Etc.
It’s time to get Organized, Motivated, Serious, and Refocused on this, and this coming year IS THE TIME!
I’ll be capturing all this and more and posting it on Youtube, and I’ll also be live streaming pretty much all of it on Twitch.tv as well.
We will be doing things to meet organic guidelines as much as possible, if not surpassing them with even safer practices in some areas. We have no plan for the near future to become Organic Certified, but maybe once everything is up and fine-tuned, we’ll revisit the possibility.
The No-Till method is our goal and will be started as soon as everything is where it needs to be to accomplish it 100%. The tools to to start accomplishing this have been secured already, now it’s time to get things laid out, and start preparing the soil for the switch.
Our future plan a few years out is to be almost totally greenhouse-grown vegetable production. We think this is the future of top quality vegetable growing as it will help to control all growing conditions, especially with Climate Changes affecting the growing seasons, and being located in a 4b growing zone. It’ll also help in the prevention of pests both insect and mammal.
We also in the future would like to get into both Aquaponics and Hydroponics. It’s always been something We think has a place in small farm production and a great value to the availability of top quality products, and to possibly add fish to our line as well would be great.
I hope you’re as excited as we are to make all this happen, and look forward to the future of a very productive, successful, and growing small farm with a healthier more sustainable high valued production of top-quality items.
Thank You for your time,
Be Safe, Be Healthy!
