Fresh from the Farm

It’s not spring yet, but it’s 80 degrees!!!  February marked a productive time working compost, skull mounts and wool, and the transfer of 4000 seedlings from grow lights to the greenhouse that suffered an indoor temperature of both 32 degrees and 105 degrees in a 48 hour period!  

February enjoyed our first workshop of the year on the 26th where we demonstrated our love for starting plants from seed using multiple techniques; it was a wonderful time to learn and share ideas.  

Now, the farm is abuzz with anticipation for all things expected for the month of March.  The Tulips are coming up and hope to be in the Roadside Flower Shoppe by the third week of this month.  

Before month’s end, the sheep will be sheared, wool processed and ewes readied for lambing in April.  The Medicinal Herbs workshop is scheduled for 3/23/25 and is to be hosted in the newly opened Ole Farmstead Flower Shoppe!  The workshop is filling up fast, so check the instagram link or the website theolefarmstead.com which is now live if you want to sign up before registration closes.  

Finally, the Members’ Bouquet Cutting Garden is getting a new fence and beds prepped for seeding.  The Member’s Garden will likely not be ready for cutting until June, but look for more information and announcements about Membership in April and May.  

To Real Things!!
