June Farm//Store Updates

Hot stuff for June!!

Asparagus and rhubarb in season all month long. Our young planting of asparagus is coming into it's own and we have greater quantities. We hope to be your source for local ORGANIC asparagus into the future! Occasionally this year, and more every year, we will have quantities for preserving. Today that is on my list - blanch and freeze, vacuum seal and enjoy spring all year long!

Rhubarb is in stock in the store, but a lot of our harvest goes to the freezer for jams. Rhubarb is SOOO easy to preserve in season! A rhubarb crisp is on my agenda for the weekend! AND we're putting 50 new plants in the ground, so lots more preserving quantities to come in the future (an maybe enough for some hard cider...?!).

More in Store => Eggs, eggs, eggs!! Applesauce, strawberry-rhubarb jam, apple syrup. Herbal Bug Spray, EO Cool It Spray, herbal tinctures, elderberry syrup kits. Calendula lotion bars back in stock sooooon! Garden produce coming this summer.

Around the Farm 

Piglets are here and more to come! Beatrix had her first liter of piglets and all 6 almost wandered into the garden yesterday. They are hilarious and adorable. Gertrude is settled in her farrowing pasture now and ready to farrow next week! Both these gals are gilts, first time moms. We hope Gertie's chill nature shows up with her mothering!!

Garden is planted as of yesterday! Just weeding, cleaning up and working on our big painting project and trying to get on the river whenever we can!! Preservation season has started and I tend to guilt myself if the dehydrator isn't running! Trying to find time to work with the wild plants for making tinctures and oils too! 

Frist canoe of 2023! Leo loves it.

Be well. Get outside, Eat local!
