We’re doing the thing! Seeds are hitting the soil and we’re getting ready for Spring, even if it isn’t quite ready for us just yet. Our youngest hens have started laying in earnest, so we will have cute little pullet eggs available for sale at the farm stand and available for folks with Egg Shares starting this week. They will size up fully within a matter of weeks, so now is the time to enjoy these little ones.

If you’re passing through the farm in daylight, you might notice some dark strips of ground out in the field. They’re a telltale sign that Mark was lucky enough to hop on a tractor and begin prepping our first and driest spots in the open field. It is still pretty damp out there, but it is a start. And if our luck continues, we’ll be filling those beds with Fava Beans and Spring Garlic, post-haste. We just need a little more time, patience and warmth. Those things seem to go a long way, regardless of the situation at hand, no?

Good Morning,
Just a quick note to let folks know that YES, we’re open for business as usual on Tuesday and Wednesday this week! From the looks of my inboxes this morning, folks tend to worry if I haven’t sent out a newsletter, and my apologies, but I was taken down by a migraine on Monday afternoon. I’m doing much better this morning, but I don’t have it in me to get a full, fleshed out version of the Wild Hare Weekly out into the world this week. Mark and the crew have been harvesting and washing in the meantime, and lists of what we’ll have for the CSA and for the farm stand are below. Thank you, in advance, for your understanding!

Friday marked a seasonal milestone, gorgeous weather and all. Our youngest chickens, the ones who arrived here last September when they were barely a day old, have graduated from the brooding house and are now scratching, pecking and clucking around out in the field. David, Kelly and Mark were tasked with catching and moving all 250 birds, and I just heard that they found five tiny pullet eggs in their nest boxes today. So, it sounds like we got them settled into their new digs just in the nick of time. Phew! You’re still welcome to walk out and visit the chickens if you’d like, but you’ll want to bundle up, wear shoes that can get muddy and mind the active electric fence that surrounds their yard when you do.
