Farming in Fall

We like working with green growing things. In the Spring, it’s all about growing great pasture for the animals. In the winter, we focus more on growing green things for people to eat!

Here are some pictures from around the farm today (Dec 1)

The pasture above is hibernating for the winter. However, cows eat hay in the back field and we continue to rotate the places we feed hay so that nutrients are spread around. Also, presently cows have access to the whole field so they spread manure around the whole field. Our free ranging chickens scratch through the cow pies and further spread out the fertility.
Alison’s Collards above and below, love the cold weather and get even sweeter after a frost. These are for our family, but we’re looking to expand our garden offerings in the spring. Stay tuned.

It’s great to be able to work indoors with a Micro Garden when the weather is foul outdoors. 🙂
