North field in snow

9 Feb 20091 Feb 2009 by Mike (tfb)

The North Field—I think that’s what I’ve taken to calling it; there’s also the South Field and the South Slope—somewhere around two acres including the sloping perimeter, is the main market garden at the new farm. It looks suitably inscrutable … Read the rest

Tiny farming: it’s a garden party!?

15 Dec 200824 Jun 2008 by Mike (tfb)

For the month of June, after Shannon, who’d been in the field just about every day in May, and while waiting for Lynn to start full-time for the rest of the season (July 1st!), I’ve been back working in solo … Read the rest

Found: chives, spinach, rhubarb…

30 May 200823 May 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Harvest for the second farmers’ market of the season was OK, but still what I think of as kinda found crops. There’s the first market harvest ever of rhubarb, a binful (20 bundles or so) from the fairly giant patch … Read the rest
