Hello All:

Hope everyone is having a wonderful spring and getting ready for a great season. The vegetables here on the farm are positively delighted with the recent rain. After the field-check tonight, I noticed many of the greens and other crops have grown 1-2" in the past day alone. It's just amazing what a nice dose of water from the heavens will do to spring the plants to life.

Big News This Week: All of the farm's tomatoes are planted! I haven't done the exact count, but it is roughly 900 plants...quite a job, but looking at them all out in the field in the ground brings a great deal of satisfaction to me. They are just beautiful plants. May they yield bountifully for us all!

Sunflowers, more green beans, pole beans, lettuce were all seeded or transplanted this week. Today the snap peas started blooming.

This weekend the zucchini, summer squash, and cucumbers will go out, and next week peppers and eggplant, melons will be planted.

Orders can be made today (THURS) on the online farm stand for Friday evening pick-up at the farm. There's quite a bit  to choose from: radishes, spinach, spicy spinach mix, red and green mustards, kale, collards, Napa cabbage, Komatsuna, Pac Choi, and numerous plants for your garden.

All of these crops, and perhaps a couple more, will be at the Battle Creek Farmers Market on Saturday as well. The market is located Downtown, corner of Jackson and McCamley, from 9-1 PM.

Hope to see you at the farm or at market!

Best wishes, Trent
