Lewis Waite Farm Update


May 4, 2010

This is the last of the winter/spring deliveries until later in June when our schedule for the CSA veggie season begins. We generally allow a week or two for everyone to get used to the vegetable distributions before we add another layer to the fray.

At the farm –

The grass is growing lush and green and the cows have started their rotational grazing. Luckily this year we had an abundance of the big white wrapped baleage hay that lasted right through this period when the grass is just beginning to get a good start. If the grass is eaten too soon this diminishes the root systems and then the re-growth takes longer to make a comeback. Being up on the hillside, our elevation delays the growth whereas the valley is all green and lush.

Happy springtime – it is such a beautiful time of year after the winter. The shad trees, the daffodils, tulips, early azaleas, spireas and our giant bleeding hearts are still blooming. This is also dandelion week – when they are so prolific and bright and cheery it is amazing! Dandelion oil and tincture are in my jars and the wine preparation is next!!

Best wishes,
Nancy and Alan
