Tiny farming: Autumn

Starting over…

Cloudy, wet and cold, here we are right at the end of the season. The summer and daily farm blogging didn’t quite work together this year…it’s time for take two, starting over. This is when the new year begins, with field clean-up, and, of course, planting garlic.

Milkhouse makeover

Autumn usually ends up being construction time. This year’s project is by far the biggest yet on the Tiny Farm, as we set out to more than double the area of the old milk collection room known as the Milkhouse. This was the only outbuilding that could be heated during the winter. After the upgrade, it’ll be a year-round multi-use space: office, seedling room in spring, overnight veggie storage in summer, the farm stand in the chilly days of late fall, maybe even the venue for the occasional, um, tea party… At this stage, it’s waiting for the concrete floor to be poured.

Fog

Foggy field

Heavy fog isn’t too common around here, but it happens. After thousands of hours of walking the two acres, strolling through this makes for quite an interesting change of scene.
