Spring is Springing

Spring is springing at the farm!

The birds are busy singing and building nests, the grass is vibrantly green, my tulips are blooming and there is an air of anticipation all around the farm. We have seedlings growing like mad on the grow shelving in our sunroom.

There are shrubs and trees sitting at the front door waiting to go into the ground. There are 30 lbs of seed potatoes waiting to get tucked into the black gold in our half acre garden. We’re preparing for chicks being hatched in the kids’ classroom at school. We making lists for tasks to be completed to open the campground, the cabin and the composting bathhouse. We’re dreaming about the scope of work to be done this summer and what that means for the farm itself.

In addition to our LLC business with the state, we now have a nonprofit corp. status with the state and are filing as well with IRS to be totally official. We are working hard to wrap our minds around the business aspects of the farm to make sure we have a great foundation to grow on (puns are always intended).

The calendar is filling up and out as we create programming for special people. And in our spare time we’re finishing some “winter” projects in the house- painting lovers out there? Bring a brush! These days are full and the to-do lists are long. We strive to maintain some balance of work-life-family-farm but admittedly we’re not great about the execution of it all. If we seem MIA know that it is not intentional. We are looking forward to many farm meet ups, friend meet ups and otherwise soon!
