Hello everyone! Hope you are safe and things are back to normal from the big storm this past weekend.
This is what we've got in our harvest this week for the market + CSA members:
We'll be at the Downtown Green Market in Cookeville this Saturday with fresh veggies and handmade, wood-fired bread - see you there for some shopping or a CSA pick-up!

This spring we have been harvesting kale, radishes, green onions, strawberries, lettuce, sugar snap peas, and carrots.
Cover crop in bloom! Wheat, crimson clover, Austrian winter peas, daikon radish, turnips. It prevents erosion, fixes carbon and nitrogen into the soil, feeds soil biology, provides habitat for pollinators and beneficial insects, and is also great sheep food. It will get worked into the soil to decompose, then we will plant sweet potatoes!
Our two sheep are now four!
Mid January our ewe gave birth in the middle of the night. We have one rejected lamb that we are caring for, multiple bottle feedings throughout the day and lots of love. In all everyone/ everything is doing well and the farm keeps growing.
We had our last harvest from the 2016 fall planting. We are eagerly looking at seed catalogs and dreaming of spring.
Last week we got Nelly, our bottle calf. Nelly is now two and a half weeks old and has adjusted well to the farm. We can not wait till she is eating grass and thriving in the fields.
