Ranches, rhubarb, radishes, and other farm news

Hey everyone! Late April/Early May is all about furious planting, and we’ve been busy. My crack-squad composed of Emily, Carlos, and Eve have been a lifeline. This week alone we planted 20 kinds of beans, basil, tomatoes, peas, greens, onions, and lots more. I’ll get a staff picture up here next week.

Rhubarb, radishes, and lettuce were added to the store this week. I’ve got a number of pickup and delivery options through the week…if you need anything, I could use your support! My business model has been severely challenged with all the restaurant closures. unearthedfarm.com/puchase to visit the store.

Last week Levon & I visited Spray Creek Ranch in Lillooet to plant some milling corn on some land our friends prepared for us. I’ve already got two other varieties of corn planned for the home farm, and I can’t grow any more without risking cross-pollination, which would ruin the crops. More news below!

I’ve owned this push-seeder for almost a decade. One of the most important tools on the farm.

Please next time aim away from the garden.

So many legumes went in this week, for dry beans later on. These are some black chick peas.

Off to the store because we’re out of coffee cream.
