The holidays are finally over. The snow has melted, at least for now. More snow and cold to come, no doubt. Time to start getting serious about choosing our new vegetable varieties for the upcoming season. We are excited to get things rolling. I have already been to one farming convention and we are gearing up to attend another trade show in a few weeks. We have learned much, what to do and what not to do! We are going to be implementing many new techniques this season! Everything is going to happen quickly once we get a little closer to spring. Our volunteers are chomping at the bit to get started again. We will be adding several new work shares and many new volunteers to help us keep up with everything in the garden, in the berries and with the bees.
We are forging new relationships with neighboring sustainable farms and other local businesses. The 2011 season is shaping up to be a great one. We have decided to add pastured poultry as an add on this year. When you come out to the farm you will be able to see your chickens, and maybe turkeys??, out foraging. We will also have some of our egg layers at the farm site this year! Lots of possibilities.
We are taking new customers for the 2011 season. This may be your best bet to get into the CSA as we are expanding this year. I cannot imagine expanding much more than what we will do for this season again, so now is the time. Shares are currently selling quickly. Go to our website at http://www.schoonerberries.com/ and signup now to ensure acceptance for 2011. You can always call with any questions.
Now that we are gearing up we will be making regular updates to our blog. Stay tuned!
