RVP-Opening the Market
This post expired on January 25, 2023.
Hello,
The market is going to be open this weekend. With that being said, for the best choice and selection, come to the Farmers Market on Friday Night at Pottorf Hall in CICO Park from 4 til 8pm.
I am running low on greens. I have plenty of Carrots, Red Russian Kale and Winterbor Kale, but I am out of Dinosaur Kale. I am also out of Swiss Chard (until it regrows). I am also out of lettuce until the next planting get big enough to pick. I also harvested out the remaining baby kales, swiss chard, mustards and haikuri turnips to make a “Hardy Winter Green Mix”.
By doing this it allows me to prep beds and get spring carrots planted ASAP. I also am going to be out of haikuri turnips and Daikon radishes until spring. I am working up these beds to get onions plants planted in 2 weeks. I am also starting tomatoes very soon (kinda crazy to say). I also am cleaning up and working up the beds in my big tunnel to get ready for spring plantings of tomatoes.
With a new baby on the way, I am trying to get as much stuff prepped or planted before it comes.
New news, with a really good winter market season and some careful planning I was able to purchase a small tractor. It will really help me be more efficient next spring. I am also working on building a plastic mulch layer and rebuilding a cultivator. I hope to have them done in February. I will share pictures as they get finished. I am really excited for this.
Thank you for supporting everyone. Without our customers, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do!
Finally, if you have an order from last week I will have those for you on Friday night.
Thanks,
Jay
