Wet Soggy Spring, We Love It!

Hello everyone,

Hope this finds you enjoying the rain, green, bird sounds and all that fresh oxygenated air! It's been wet in Laramie and wet in Waverly where our farm is. Ricky today was under a tornado watch down there. Luckily our neighbor and farmland owner, Tom, was keeping an eye on the sky to round up the workers and shuffle them to his basement if needed.

We are still planting as it's been to wet to get it all in. But things are taking off. Once the sun shines again the temperatures go up it'll be wonderful.

We will be delivering spinach, whole head lettuces, and bunch radishes to the Big Hollow Food Co-op on Tuesday June 16th. Look for chard and kale later in the week. We will also be delivery to Sweet Melissa's Vegetarian Cafe on a more regular basis.

So please support local by buying local! Have a great week everyone. The site will continue to be updated with info and pictures so please check back. And again thank you for all the support!
