Beauty is a full greenhouse, satisfaction and fulfillment are having almost every square inch growing something edible!

Planting Time

Two varieties of potatoes are in the ground, Russian banana fingerling and the Makah Ozette fingerling. Two down, two to go! Go, go, go!

The first hatchling

Hi there!

This duckling was the first to make it out of the incubator this year. So sweet...

Daylight savings already? For us it marks the coming or possibly even the presence of spring! The greenhouse is packed pretty full of starts like tomatoes (we're growing at least 6 different varieties this year), broccoli, swiss chard, onions, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, and a few others. The peas and salad mix in the ground inside the greenhouse must be at least 3 inches tall; the salad mix looks almost ready to eat, yum!

We have begun offering a CSA this year which is quite exciting for us; we decided after a successful year at the market and food bank last year, we are ready for a few CSA shares this year. If you'd like more info. just email Jon at jongergen@msn.com and we'll get you a brochure.

The large blacks (formerly known as Jack and Lily), Frank and Lucy are so big and healthy, here's a pic of Frank's big snout. We hope Lucy will have her first litter early this summer and will be offering piglets for sale.

Helga and Olga, the scottish highlanders, had their first calves last august, and are due again mid-summer. The calves were both bulls and we hope to offer our lean pasture raised beef about a year or so from now.

It's an amazing process to really get to know your food and it does seem the better you know your food the more it affects the choices you make in all aspects of life. I find that as I watch the amount of energy that goes into an animal, the raising, the growth, the feeding, the loving, the killing and processing, the more conscientous I am about how much of that meat I eat.
