November 4! You know what it is time for? No? I was hoping YOU did.
Since neither of us is sure, I'll just do some stuff about the farm.
Durnik Returns
Finally, the tractor is back in our possession - and it runs better than ever. We were able to get the rotary cutter on and found that it works very well. We'll finish up with the rotary cutter this weekend and move on to trying the other implements, including the potato digger.
90 Feet West
One of things that is different about our farm is the movable high tunnel. Well, we managed to get the thing moved yesterday (Thus). Our thanks to the superhero known as Band Saw Man (Jeff S) who served as the third person necessary to move the thing. Also thanks to Josh D for being there earlier in the day to help with some of the prep work. And to Denis D for helping get the weeds off the tracks earlier in the week. We've learned a few new tricks and hope it gets easier as we go.
Harvest Market
Our first Waverly Harvest Market is this Saturday (Nov 5) from 8:30 to 11:30 at the Civic Center building in Waverly. We are planning on having some poultry with us along with a little veg and some baked goods (courtesy of Tammy). If you wish to talk to us about the 2012 CSA season and reserve a spot, we'd be happy to see you.
Shutting the Barn Door...
The birds are now out of the barn, but we still need to finish the room in the poultry pavilion for them. Most of the materials in the barn have been moved out, so it is time to say good-bye to that grand ol' structure. I don't think we fully appreciate how much its disappearance will change things here. But, choices are limited.
Fall Extended Season CSA
Hard to believe we've already had two distributions for the Fall CSA. So far so good!
Poultry
We do still have turkeys and ducks available. If you want one, or know someone who does, pass the word on.
Fall Scramble
The last several years have seen the ground freeze right around Thanksgiving. That tells us we only have a few weeks to complete a long list of things that need to happen before that time. We still need to get the garlic into the ground and we want to seed some spinach to overwinter. There is shoring up to do on the high tunnel before snow flies. We need to finish the chicken room, put an overhead door on the truck barn...etc etc. If we didn't have alot to do, we'd be lost. We'll get as far as we get. Then we'll try to get further.
Goat Rodeo Sessions
YoYo Ma? Yep. Just good music, you should try it.
Biology Class Captured
Once again, Kimran B brought her class out to see what our farm is like. The class was lured to a farm by a nickel tour and then captured for a little bit of work. No students or faculty were harmed in this event. But, some good things were accomplished.
