The Farmer's Letter: May 2025

Farmer's Letter

Hello to all,

Cheery springtime greetings to you all. It is a lovely time of the year, with all the green garden goodies, the pretty flowers, and all that spring offers. The Lord has blessed us richly. 

The farm animals are all enjoying their pasture homes, munching on grass and herbs, lounging in the sunshine, and showering in the rain. 

The garden on the farm is producing abundantly. Strawberries, rhubarb, salad greens, and sugar peas are in season. Hull peas and head lettuce will probably be next. The raspberries are also setting fruit. 

The thistles and weeds (or wild herbs, as some like to say) want to grow too. I think we'll have to battle with unwanted plants and bad bugs as long as we live. 

Looking ahead, we are planning our 2nd anniversary event for July 12. We plan to have various vendors on-site, to represent their nutrient-dense food or other healthcare products. There will be activities for the children as well. 

Watch for more details in upcoming newsletters!
