BLUE MOON FARM*** Sustainably Grown***
Madison County
It is really amazing to us how fast everything is blooming here! We usually have some daffodils to cut for the first farmers' market of the year, but the way things are going, they'll be long gone by then! I checked out the lilacs today, and the buds are already getting big! I guess the cooler weather at the end of the week will slow things down a little! It's hard this week to imagine freezing April market days!!
We're off to Georgia at the end of the week to have a visit with Jean's family before the craziness of market time is upon us. Things are at a point here on the farm where they can take care of themselves for a few days, and we won't get another chance to travel until November!
This time of year is always beautiful on the farm, with all the little crops coming up and not too many weeds yet! That being said, we've already started cultivating the garlic patches so that the weeds don't get ahead of us! We're looking forward to the days when the redbuds are in bloom down on the bottom. It's always so nice to look up from a chore and see the hillsides bursting with color!
Last week we started delivering Bracken County Oyster Mushrooms to restaurants around Lexington, and the hydroponic tomatoes from Lee County will be ready to go soon! The excitement builds as we get closer to market! We hope you're looking forward to it too.
Don't forget, you can always email us with questions or special requests! [email protected] See you soon!!
