You’ll start to see some double yolks in eggs over the next couple of weeks as well since a new flock, has just started laying, right on time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/a5185a2f-91dc-4d40-9da7-5fa0f8341c54/untitled-505.jpg Farm Blog - Delicious to the end (and beyond) - Make it stand out Malaya rests by the barn against a fresh stack of slab wood.

The pollinators loved it all though, and the blackbirds, sparrows, and other birds are all over as it goes to seed. There are still quite a few blooms going, and you are welcome to brave the weedy wild-ness of it yourselves this week to pick a handful for yourself before the harder frosts set in. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2023/9/18/you-are-invited-farm-pepper-roast-and-general-fall-glory monthly 0.5 2023-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/7815d28a-9f00-4f93-b70a-1e37da45e064/Screenshot+2023-09-18+at+4.12.08+PM.jpg Farm Blog - You are invited!

Missing from this view are all of the Southwest crops, the mini blocks and flowers, all of the 600 laying hens, and some of the north field. All the headlands and pathways got a serious mow this week, so it’s a great time to come walk around your farm. If we could go back and show this photo to our ten-years-ago selves with our messy quarter acre and some dreams of a real farm, I don’t think we would believe was where we’d be now. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2023/9/8/wo8gjwnzgx2nsvb7rhto6l5l4vdynp monthly 0.5 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/28b2f43e-7a6d-4bf5-9a0e-1a28304774d9/untitled-375.jpg Farm Blog - September: The Secret Part of Summer - Make it stand out A released lacewing rests on a kale plant before if’s off to hunt for aphids on both late summer plants and young plants that will feed our community through winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/f9ab8cc9-ee72-4b10-a703-c277e1a24d8c/untitled-397.jpg Farm Blog - September: The Secret Part of Summer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2023/9/5/the-melon-fest monthly 0.5 2023-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/8c4f026b-69b1-4feb-92f4-c73d066fabc3/untitled-341-Enhanced-NR.jpg Farm Blog - The (Melon) Fest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/89eef0e5-5483-4e86-9798-2d2372a2cc5f/untitled-204.jpg Farm Blog - The (Melon) Fest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/23e0bb0c-7633-4b5f-9619-1e4c33155cd7/untitled-236.jpg Farm Blog - The (Melon) Fest - Make it stand out A quick respite, as the light fades.

When we take in grocery bags for re-use, we sometimes find surprises, but usually just old grocery lists or receipts, the occasional pair of reading glasses. Sometime this season, someone dropped off a batch of re-use bags that happened to include a bag also full of tissue paper and Chrismtas ornaments. If you recognize these and can help them find their way home, please reach out! Many are handmade, and we are especially impressed with the moss-and-twig hedgehog, so if someone is missing them we’d love to help return them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386477049-MU7YF12IDXKWQQP6YQYZ/Screen%2BShot%2B2022-12-17%2Bat%2B2.53.27%2BPM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts Four beds of lovely spinach were slated for a new caterpillar tunnel this fall, but when we didn’t get it up before the snow fell and the freezes set it, we thought we might just have to wait until spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386285293-67SNTY9CP2ZGVC202OKZ/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.54.13+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts But when it was clear we would get no November thaw, and we had potentially lost storage crops to freeze damage in our rented cooler space, we decided to push through and build the tunnel over the frozen beds in hopes of thawing them out. The ground was not yet frozen solid under the snow, so we pounded ground posts, and fitted newly bent ribs over them while the temperatures continued to drop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386285500-1IIL2JMRIYV68L73O82I/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.54.01+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts Snow is as insulator….there were some frozen spots, but rebar pounded in, though we had to dig out around each ground post in order to fit the metal ribs on and let them reach the ground (or close to it). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386284564-R0SNWYA9R17QATPDW2X9/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.54.36+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts Abigail tightens the ropes down after we covered the structure with greenhouse plastic; we don't usually have caterpillar tunnels so close together, but we squeezed our way through, side-stepping along what we jokingly started calling “the canyon” between the mild-mix and spinach caterpillar tunnels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386284233-OH1BOCARQJJHFMIM6OJ3/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.54.44+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts One week after a Monday of bad news, we had bent, pounded, covered, and tied down…with pauses for procuring materials, harvesting other greens before deep freezes, and all the other basic farm chores. It’s the ugliest and least even of our caterpillar tunnels but perhaps the most dramatic build yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386283018-FWO4E6NBE6WM8CVN5143/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.55.16+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts And then we waited….melt-out was slow, as the light is low this time of year. Even on sunny days, progress was incremental with all the white snow just reflecting the light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386282721-ZITK3Q8TD6NDDH6O1F9H/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.55.30+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts We changed the game by sprinkling potting soil on top of the snow on some beds to speed up the melting…. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671386282329-HGVRYRFOJUZUI4UR21K3/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.55.39+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts …which eventually worked! Dirty but green, spinach is bouncing back in sections to supply our deepest winter greens. And if you know seasonal spinach, you know this stuff is the best. Leaves that froze solid, that endured weeks under snow and ice, are packed with the densest flavor, chlorophyll, and sugars. This spinach has been through it and we hope it imparts some of that strength to all of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671313806028-WU7H8KBNZIM815KZ065Q/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.47.17+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1671313808218-BB11VPX8PC2I9K3ABQ3L/Screen+Shot+2022-12-17+at+2.47.08+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter's darkest days and warmest hearts http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/11/20/uzlkxx9ey77j2p0rokqtw6pt9q63bc monthly 0.5 2022-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/e39c3c58-dfbc-46e4-9949-ba694889304d/Screen+Shot+2022-11-20+at+2.52.33+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out We’ve almost forgotten what bare soil looks like already, but are extra-glad we got these beds of garlic planted in that first week of November, just in time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/5d2eee56-a8d3-4ed7-b24d-46b51ad436bf/Screen+Shot+2022-11-20+at+2.52.43+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out Shortly after that, winter arrived, all of a sudden. A lot of field cleanup, pushed late by the work on the building, is left un-done where it may in fact stay until spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1074f1c0-3f71-4108-81f5-4c4b5d2b8935/Screen+Shot+2022-11-21+at+12.09.53+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out Some field cleanup had to happen regardless, though. Here, Hannah helps pick up irrigation pipes in the South pasture so we can pull the chicken barns in later that night. We had to dig them up out of knee-deep snow. While this is probably what many of our temperate relatives think farming in Montana looks like all the time, this was a first for us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/37d0001d-8042-464f-a9fa-33d225ac49ab/Screen+Shot+2022-11-21+at+12.09.19+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out The hardest part of getting caught by winter-surprise was that the chickens, and their moveable barns were still out in “summer pasture” where they are quite far from the electrical hook-ups to run their heated waterers, and far from the water spigots. After a week of twice-daily trips with carts of water buckets, and a constant rotation of waterers thawing out in the greenhouse, we used the snowplow on the tractor to clear a pathway to pull the barns to their winter positions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/6a046ca2-4c69-4a7e-995f-0d93bdd3a707/Screen+Shot+2022-11-20+at+2.50.43+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out Rainbow chard looks extra-colorful against a snowy white backdrop. These greens , carefully covered each night inside of their moveable caterpillar tunnel (in the background) are doing remarkably well considering record-setting cold, with three nights in a row at or below -14. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/c8eab65c-57c3-4374-b2c2-176a2df8da04/Screen+Shot+2022-11-20+at+2.51.26+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out While the snow piles up between caterpillar tunnels… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/02592f60-b60c-4b9a-a181-a8ec5443f944/Screen+Shot+2022-11-20+at+2.51.32+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out …the lettuce inside stayed snug and warm!

We achieved our goal of abundant salad for everyone’s Thanksgiving tables; this is getting washed and bagged up today for the farmstore, farm members, and a bit for the Bitter Root Brewery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/e9d425a1-ca53-425b-9635-d7c0c487d2f2/Screen+Shot+2022-11-21+at+12.09.42+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out Hannah harvests mild winter salad mix from tunnel 1. The double layers of row cover for getting through the cold nights are folded up in the center pathway. The baby brassica-family greens in the mild winter salad mix are the real heroes of the winter, bouncing back from frozen-solid state over and over again, they’ll be the salad staple for the whole winter, and we just love them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/33d47667-8f7c-467e-9dd5-0b97c14fc4a0/Screen+Shot+2022-11-20+at+2.51.17+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out Beautiful, scenic evidence that we do not win them all….buried under snow in those beds in the foreground is some beautiful spinach. We’re waiting to see, maybe it will bounce back with a thaw, or if we manage to set up a tunnel over it after all? Or perhaps we’ll see it again in spring. Luckily some other spinach plantings in the tunnels will be big enough to harvest soon, but I do wish we had gotten these in or protected before this landed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/2ac4fd50-937c-4fee-8a19-5b99ec4dfa10/Screen+Shot+2022-11-21+at+12.22.39+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out Clearing snow from caterpillar tunnels; this helps both to ensure we don’t have any collapses, and also lets more light in to help heat the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/65ed9262-a35c-4540-8912-bc427fcbda2f/Screen+Shot+2022-11-21+at+12.22.55+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Thankful for all seasons as they come - Make it stand out And finally, a reminder that winter eating can still be full of color and deliciousness! Top your noodle soups with grated purple daikon radish, dish up the big bowls of salad greens, bake a squash pie, enjoy a colorful stir fry or a deep jewel-toned root roast or sautéed chard dish.

We chose the Bitterroot Land Trust as the non-profit to receive any donations you all toss in the jar at the market booth and/ or farmstore in the next few days. They do good, serious, work for preserving farmland…and while we take local food and feeding community seriously, it’s impossible to take an inflatable chicken costume too seriously, so come out to Main Street Monday at 5:30 for some straight-up ridiculousness for a good cause. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/10/25/the-storm-before-the-calm monthly 0.5 2022-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/48cf8bea-5126-4398-bdbd-5bfcaba7ebc1/Screen+Shot+2022-10-25+at+2.39.49+PM.png Farm Blog - The Storm Before the Calm - Make it stand out One of the big pushes this week, which went well into headlamp territory, was bringing in all 9 remaining beds of potatoes.

While we still use the 4 wheel tractor a ton, this small walking tractor does all the bed shaping and is a work horse for minimizing soil disturbance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/59a2c8e1-2c7f-435d-9695-36e2507c2f79/Screen+Shot+2022-10-03+at+4.01.22+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Eating Season: Pepper Roasting, Farm Tours, Getting Ready for Winter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/c4463c8d-a29f-4236-932a-f2469be0b1c3/Screen+Shot+2022-10-03+at+4.10.53+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Eating Season: Pepper Roasting, Farm Tours, Getting Ready for Winter - Make it stand out Meanwhile, the SRF farmers’ market team hustles at this week’s Apple Day market. It’s really been all we can do this year to keep up with customers at market. If you’ve been turned off by the lines this year, you can come to our farmstore anytime and with our winter transplant season now finished, we’ll have four of us at market for more time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/7950f54c-f073-4062-93e4-1547ea3781a0/Screen+Shot+2022-10-03+at+4.26.12+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Eating Season: Pepper Roasting, Farm Tours, Getting Ready for Winter - Make it stand out Oh Brussels sprouts. This crop is our achilles heel, one of our not-rocking it areas this year (again). While this photo may look impressive, we struggled yet again with a wicked infestation of fall aphids. We are going to make one more attempt at cleaning tomorrow morning, and are really hoping that we can get at least some of them clean enough to stock to the farmstore for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/8c0123c1-d141-4923-bbd8-8d01dfc515f5/Screen+Shot+2022-10-03+at+4.52.43+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Eating Season: Pepper Roasting, Farm Tours, Getting Ready for Winter - Make it stand out Market these days is a bit of a blur…we stock as fast as we can, we try to tally up and help people out as quickly as possible so no one gets frustrated by the lines, and in the midst of all that try to also keep the conversations, connections, and magic growing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/432537e7-f4b2-4f05-aaf9-8502f12f216f/Screen+Shot+2022-10-03+at+4.55.47+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Eating Season: Pepper Roasting, Farm Tours, Getting Ready for Winter - Make it stand out Carrots may be more generally popular, but we think beets are the heart of a good winter food supply too….and wow do we have some good storage beets piling up this year, with all the goodness of summer sun concentrated for your winter eating. Tyler is becoming a root washer specialist and he may not even realize how many hundreds of pounds will be running through that barrel the next few weeks, with carrots, beets, radishes, and potatoes all still coming in from the field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/ce381eb1-e172-422b-8906-1f7391aaf37c/Screen+Shot+2022-10-03+at+4.58.23+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Eating Season: Pepper Roasting, Farm Tours, Getting Ready for Winter - Make it stand out The ladies moved to fresh, lush, pasture this week, and they are working as hard as they can to keep you supplied. Eggs are such a popular and also tricky product….we can’t let them pile up, but if the girls slow down for fall even just 5 or 10%, it can wreak havoc on the market and farmstore supply. If you’ve been skunked, we are sorry and we (and they) are working to keep the egg flow steady, so don’t worry too much. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/9/20/harvest-season-is-real monthly 0.5 2022-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/eb87a1fa-3f85-45d1-9172-ebe579b1456e/Screen+Shot+2022-09-20+at+9.38.09+AM.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1663691478890-RQZ5D97FF35RXG3WJ5R3/IMG-0184.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1663691495890-J95N44XRT58PPYLQXR0A/IMG-0185.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1663691499104-G248DIW3CJD3JB1LWKD2/IMG-0186.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1663691505806-QBDZUNVCIGA4CD74UQBF/IMG-0187.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/ee2ed6e5-9f0f-4907-86f6-575a0601ab92/IMG-0200.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos - Make it stand out The new to us potato harvester, purchased from farmer’s down the road (Lindsay and Randy) literally will save us 100 hours this season and it may make the difference between getting the potatoes in on time with other pressing winter transplant and seeding deadlines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/20c8198f-c213-4ada-9900-221624987559/IMG-0194.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos - Make it stand out View of some potatoes from the front of our larger tractor, just because it’s so impressive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/2ab7f133-44c6-477c-bdeb-b24ac0c8694f/123-1.JPEG Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos - Make it stand out Bunches of kale and chard for freezing, 4 for $10 in the farmstore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/5dc2e743-e11f-4aee-8e66-ed6b8b56b2f6/Screen+Shot+2022-09-20+at+10.40.55+AM.jpg Farm Blog - True Grit, Transition of the Seasons and the Week in Photos - Make it stand out Farm cat Zukes (short for zucchini) rests in the root washer. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/9/17/catch-the-last-big-melon-wave-and-scale-peak-peppersmarket-morning-is-here monthly 0.5 2022-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/8f1a2219-e737-4cdd-aa5d-72e04bebb3a5/Screen+Shot+2022-09-17+at+6.17.40+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Catch the last big melon wave, and scale peak peppers....market morning is here! - Make it stand out Utterly loaded with sweet peppers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/7cb313c9-e9f0-4bb1-ab1d-c3a7940efc49/Screen+Shot+2022-09-17+at+6.17.26+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Catch the last big melon wave, and scale peak peppers....market morning is here! - Make it stand out Just a few more weeks of fresh flowers at market! http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/9/13/v7hyeokcigfd3kh2s6l6x2yy5d4922 monthly 0.5 2022-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/4e97fe3e-772a-444f-a68d-de2253c238d5/Screen+Shot+2022-09-13+at+9.49.51+AM.jpg Farm Blog - September Smoke and Sweetness - Make it stand out Not so pretty, not fun to breathe.

A delicious little Asian frying pepper, mostly mild with a green savory flavor, but just to keep it interesting, one in about every hundred peppers is a little bit spicy. Our favorite way to prepare them is to heat oil in a heavy skillet, toss the peppers in and stir them a few times to blister the skins. When they have softened a bit and turned a brighter green, just sprinkle them with salt, grab the stem and eat them whole. It’s our favorite appetizer this time of year, what we eat while we make the dinner plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/93779840-5fb5-4575-a50e-1024464958b4/IMG-0163.jpg Farm Blog - Make room for September....bulk deals, salsa kits, and market trailer at the farm on Tuesday! - Make it stand out Chickens in some lush green pasture, thanks largely to Tyler taking on the job of pasture irrigation with the “big gun” sprinkler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/7a4829f9-9f14-4a5c-a89e-48fa025c484f/IMG-0143.jpg Farm Blog - Make room for September....bulk deals, salsa kits, and market trailer at the farm on Tuesday! - Make it stand out The planting continues….we have just two more rounds of our weekly greens seeding in the field, then it’s all into tunnels for winter! http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/8/9/negogiations-and-tomatoe-lovesongs monthly 0.5 2022-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/c6453378-2ca9-4953-ba94-f6f5a84ef21c/Screen+Shot+2022-08-09+at+10.27.45+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Negotiations and Tomato Lovesongs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/cc08eae4-d70c-450c-b128-7ba9c2e474f8/Screen+Shot+2022-08-09+at+10.29.15+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Negotiations and Tomato Lovesongs - Make it stand out Tomatoes - by the flat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/85314ada-4781-4a4d-a38f-a5cd367d3570/Screen+Shot+2022-08-09+at+10.36.03+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Negotiations and Tomato Lovesongs - Make it stand out Bulk flowers — for drying, weddings, celebrations, or literally anything else — are now available.

Malaya’s excellent health for her estimated 12+ years of age was attributed in part to her lifestyle on the farm, of “getting to just be a dog all day.” She does take it seriously, this job as a farm dog, but her collection of footwear for napping on is getting a little out of hand.

They get fed to our laying hens, via a distribution system we call squash-ball. If you are familiar with our radish baseball photos, these are even more dramatic. Sabrina, of course, turned out to be a real home-run hitter in her first squash-ball season. In addition to giving ourselves a solid round of fun on a deep snow day, now whenever there are melty windows, the hens find a few new patches of gourd seeds and pulp to feast on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/405576bf-6d5f-471a-8b35-80a848156cfb/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.02.06+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out All of our mobile henbarns finally got names. Mostly so we don’t mix them up and another way we are implementing systems. Behind the scenes, a six page manual has been written to help simply the consistency of care for the laying hens. The name above, the Evergiven, for this 8x40’ titanic is apt. The roofline is still not entirely straightened out from the big tip it had two Septembers ago. Outriggers have since been welded on to the base of this barn so 65-70mph wind gusts should not be problematic. We hope. It has not yet been irreparably stuck anywhere on the farm, but we do navigate the narrows carefully with this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/0a9f3a25-cec1-4cfd-82ad-158c92753d34/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.05.44+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out Left to right: Sabrina, Noah, and Ed (farm member and builder), install a custom piece of farm hardware that will be the attachment point for the inflated roof for our new nursery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/f8860f21-2f71-47bd-9ba1-a40279d1c83f/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.08.24+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out Will (not pictured) and Noah roll out the second layer of plastic on a frosty roof on Monday with the help of Rueben and Mary as a ground support team. We just had one warm, calm window to do this crucial task this past week. And while it was easier to drop hundreds of pounds of greenhouse plastic down, rather than pullup, the roof was so slick we no longer recommend this method. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/4de39cfd-36de-494c-95a4-13b08a0f7f21/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.10.50+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out The new greenhouse roof, is inflated to a giant bubble with a small motor after the two layers of plastic have been safely secured to the structure. While the old nursery will house some of the first seedlings soon, we will move over to this new structure as soon as possible. We are giddy with excitement at double the amount of space for seedlings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/945f9b82-4f25-45ad-9958-f80994704f14/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.13.07+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out We’ve needed the new nursery for about three years now. Last March and April, we got so tight on space so flats of young plants went into the pathways of a high tunnel for protection (they’d been sitting outside to harden off, but were getting smashed by 6” of snow). Other nights we had to scramble when our reliable pellet stove wasn’t so reliable. The new space features a large powerful heater and some basic low tech automation, including some rollup sides and automatic venting and cooling. The heater is mounted in the photo along with some custom SRF hardware. One special cool note — all that shiny metal tubing and roofing in the photo is reclaimed, repurposed from other steel structures in our region to reduce the footprint of our build. And, nearly all the lumber in both the nursery and the packshed is also reclaimed, from 20-200 miles from the farm. The reclaimed tin roofing, for the nursery sides and the top of our structure came from a bit farther afield, but it was also reclaimed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/2f66126c-0b84-418f-afea-24e9b1b3e7ee/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.18.28+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out In addition to improving systems, and building a real sustainable facility that streamlines our operation, this is the season for repairs. Vehicles get worked on. Compost piles get turned, hard to find spare parts get purchased from all over the internet. Above, we still aren't quite sure why a simple hyrdraulic line took a few hours to repair, but it did. Turning compost piles is extremely hard on our 45hp, 4wd tractor. It’s even harder when a hydraulic line ruptures and sprays Noah in the face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/21312199-87cb-4273-9db0-f866e4b2665c/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.25.13+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out On a snowy day, the whole team, including Sam (in the orange hat) harvests the last of our winter mild mix from one of our moveable caterpillar tunnels. The spinach in the foreground is re-growing and will be abundant later this spring. Due to a ton of precautions and safety protocols, Sam is the only person on our team who came down with covid. He was on vacation and although he’s well on the mend, he’s about to wrap-up his winter contract with the farm. It was great to have his help to share our workload with the winter farm membership this past season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/b4953306-3d9d-40eb-b2bd-620eaf1dbda7/Screen+Shot+2022-01-26+at+11.21.18+AM.jpg Farm Blog - January: The Month in Photos and Winter Greens Update - Make it stand out On a sunny day, hens from the young flock launch off the sundeck of The Evergiven. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2022/1/3/9lfaiqas15ll9juauv3znvnxy11ra4 monthly 0.5 2022-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/9696f7ba-e820-4c68-85ec-9d85a7f3a960/mom-1.jpg Farm Blog - The New Year is a Perfect Time to Eat More Squash....and sign up for a Winter Farm membership! - Make it stand out Though there are lots of complex details with winter farming (mostly about timing of plantings in the fall, actually), some of it is also so basic: put blankets on when the nights are cold. When they colder, add more layers of blankets. What may surprise you, though, is that in order for this to work, the blankets (which shade as well as insulate) have to come off each day and allow what sunlight there is, to hit the leaves and the ground; the soil, warmed even a few degrees during the day, is the heat reservoir that buffers the greens, with the blankets on at night. This cover/ uncover rhythm dictates our winter days, but is how we still have fresh greens in the farmstore and for members. Friday’s 12-below-zero low, and some of the cold cloudy days that followed, were a challenge but most things seem to be perking back up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/0b676781-41b8-4ac2-924b-09cc0d4ea5dd/mom-3.jpg Farm Blog - The New Year is a Perfect Time to Eat More Squash....and sign up for a Winter Farm membership! - Make it stand out Even with multiple options for getting indoors, Malaya prefers to keep tabs on us all from her outdoor nests.

Lettuce is actually one of the wimpier of the baby greens in the cold, so we cut everything we had before the sub-zeroes, and it’s stocked up in the farmstore. Our other, brassica-based salad mixes will continue for longer into the cold, but if you are a straight-up-lettuce fan, now’s the time to snag a few bags. The next round will be sometime in April. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/424f4f49-9aa2-40fb-86b6-1a273837e25d/mom-5.jpg Farm Blog - The New Year is a Perfect Time to Eat More Squash....and sign up for a Winter Farm membership! - Make it stand out Perhaps the new year starts when the compost is finished? This pile will be beautifully aged by spring. Periodically during the winter we turn it to fold in the moisture from rain and snow, to keep is simmering along through the season.

The analysis of this trace: not the fox, but probably Zukes racing up the almost-finished compost pile in the night, his tracks enlarged by each step breaking through the frozen crust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/5e3c7ca9-d11e-4a1e-be6d-467f0c5a3d64/Screen+Shot+2021-12-10+at+8.01.42+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from the Week before Freezeup - Make it stand out Nothing motivates the final digging and cement pour of the season like thinking it might finally be ground freeze-up. Last Saturday night found us busting out all the party gear: shovels, rock bar and cement mixer, to pour small cement footers for what will someday be a welcoming shady porch to the entrance of the new farmstore, housed in the front of the new packshed. To make this big late night work shift before temperatures plummet a bit more fun, we nicknamed the new orange cement mixer next to the Kubota “The Party Machine.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/e47cbf52-5133-408a-86a8-f4900c61ed8e/srf2021+%281+of+1%29-3.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from the Week before Freezeup - Make it stand out Doesn’t matter what the task is, Zukes is involved. Sometimes the best way to keep him safe is to just have him drive the tractor. He (and all the farm pets) are still riding high from the package of treats some farm fans delivered recently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/afb07ed7-f25d-4721-af24-fbba82b0d03b/srf2021+%281+of+1%29-2.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from the Week before Freezeup - Make it stand out Ribs on the new nursery went up, and got tied together with the first purlin this week. The process required multiple people on ladders, and a lot of lifting of heavy steel. Some members of our team don’t love ladders, but Zukes says the higher the better. Hopefully by late winter, this space will be filled with starts, and he’ll probably still be finding the highest perch in the place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/ba40dad8-bc03-4aee-9dae-21c0519322ca/SRF-hens-radishfeast.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from the Week before Freezeup - Make it stand out Some radishes that were getting a bit wimpy in storage went to our least-picky customers, who had no complaints. Now that they are finally laying eggs again, they deserved a colorful treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/c0e8672e-d340-4b0d-8bbc-ffe45ada7279/untitled+shoot-003.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from the Week before Freezeup - Make it stand out Things we didn’t know we would want (didn’t even know existed) when we started a farm: macro bins. Pallet-sized foldable plastic crates strong enough to hold 800 lbs of onions or winter squash, and stackable—now that’s exciting! Especially when purchased used from an orchard in the Flathead that is scaling down. We got enough for us and a few for farmer friends down the road at MGVC, so we can all pile up the storage crops higher and higher next winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/5af48377-4c77-43cd-a4f5-2f6912938fb9/Screen+Shot+2021-12-10+at+8.02.23+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from the Week before Freezeup - Make it stand out Sneak preview: the first-ever organic farm hoodies…..members who ordered these back in spring can now pick them up in the farmstore!

Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out Much of this week was extremely un-photogenic and also important work: field cleanup to remove summer-crop plant matter to the compost, pull up and stow the re-useable landscape fabric, posts, trellising, and all the supports for the crops like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and flowers. Flail mowing the spent plants of been, greens, tarping some blocks for winter to help residues break down. Already we are thinking and strategizing about which of those spaces will be best for spring, noting which need a spring cover crop, which could take the earliest greens. Some of this cleanup is a gift to our spring selves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569051548-EBASOXERUQRV2W4RZRP3/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.43.37+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out Friday’s agenda included many final harvests, like the salad turnips on the right, and also setting up the final of our three moveable winter “caterpillar” tunnels, set now over greens that were seeded and grew directly in the field until getting covered at dawn on Friday. With the whole team working in one block, Malaya couldn’t resist lounging in the headlands, supervising it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569300848-AT68HCMJASQS6BRTJPTJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.47.56+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out Snow on the peaks, gold in the trees, and deep deep green inside the caterpillar tunnels in the valley. Spinach and mild salad mix are now protected and happily waiting their turn to feed you in November, December, and January. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569242435-M4QDGDA5AQI1R8YMMBDU/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.47.02+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out Bok Choy, despite many sub-twenty degree nights, stands proud and fresh under row cover. Row cover (besides caterpillars and high tunnels) is probably our most important farm tool to help extend our season. This will be at the market and farmstore all week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569196081-CBW75BEB7SQIOBZ2SIZ5/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.46.09+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out Malaya, tired from all her greeting duties, sacks out next to a shipment of new-to-us, refurbished food-grade harvest bins. This week we literally filled most of them and they are safely storing produce in our walk in coolers and temporary rented space across town until we move into our new space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569090786-7KRUDQNRPZ3NKR0PM7BA/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.44.34+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out What a crew! Three dogs and a cast of characters you haven’t mostly met, other than Sabrina (farmer on the far right). It’s hard to believe we’ve been running the ship this year with so many part time crew. It’s been awesome to have so many people; but we greatly underestimated the hours of training required for the various farm jobs. We did make one job offer to someone this week and are continuing interviews for full-time crew so, both in the field, and off the field, we can have a more sustainable farm life, finish our packshed, and continue to grow food for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569567941-KDRKQX4DLX5S9Y68DOQ7/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.52.24+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out The power was actually connected last week, but we finally snapped the photo this week. The new packshed build has sat idle for a few weeks while we get our major harvests in, secure winter crops (and winter farm members). This photo is one of those that shows a mundane thing that is a really big deal. Turning on power, with new service and a natural gas line that will run efficient backup and nursery heaters took about a week’s worth of farm proceeds during our main peak season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1635569155327-GU6THQS5E89MHTRKQUQH/Screen+Shot+2021-10-29+at+10.45.36+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final Market Today! Plus the Farm Week in Photos - Make it stand out We had storms all week, the rain coming in is good for both some headlands that function as pasture for the young laying flock and germinating cover crop in garden blocks. We were actually so worried about the late seeding date for this overwintering rye and peas, that we used some of our older row cover to help give it a boost for germinating and getting established in the limited days left. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2021/10/22/winter-prep-in-the-gentlest-october monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/078b4b04-c942-43f9-a791-e0ae544a0e9b/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+5.11.10+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Gentle October, Sliding Towards The Winter Farm - Make it stand out Crops covered in frost cloth, moody October skies, and trees actually turning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/7473ad7f-35cd-4b5e-95ac-1554aacb2008/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+5.11.33+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Gentle October, Sliding Towards The Winter Farm - Make it stand out These greens could be yours in November and December! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/339c1a1e-84bc-49c2-8159-374b8bd817d3/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+5.10.52+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Gentle October, Sliding Towards The Winter Farm - Make it stand out Winter kale and chard, with newly moved caterpillar tunnel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/b0a9a6b8-eb6b-4297-84eb-f50eac3f6f55/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+5.16.33+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Gentle October, Sliding Towards The Winter Farm - Make it stand out More winter greens than ever…Tunnel 1: baby leaves for mild winter salad mix. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2021/10/19/announcing-the-winter-farm-early-signup-for-current-farm-members monthly 0.5 2021-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1634660114665-MG059DMI80U6G1O0QCMK/Screen+Shot+2021-10-19+at+9.46.52+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Announcing the Winter Farm - Early Signup for Current Farm Members - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1634660226898-T5DOEYALT00ADLXEHF7K/Screen+Shot+2021-10-19+at+10.08.54+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Announcing the Winter Farm - Early Signup for Current Farm Members - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2021/10/15/still-here-three-more-market-saturdays-and-hints-of-winter monthly 0.5 2021-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1634386386802-WS9T5J671UOAZFXI6OHD/Screen+Shot+2021-10-16+at+6.12.43+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Still Here: Three more market Saturdays, and hints of Winter - Make it stand out Red Kuri winter squash are making their market and farmstore debut this week.

Here, we stretch 80psi poly pipe over rebar (that we use for other farm trellising) to help protect winter crops. Providing we wrangle enough labor, one of our moveable caterpillars will be moved over to these beds as soon as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1634064030376-JXMOYDSNNVQBRXVIKVKJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-12+at+12.40.09+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Shells of the Season and the Journey to Rocket Science - Make it stand out Even though one of our chicken flocks is molting (220 of them), they are molting right on time and with the egg production slowly picking up and a new flock due to start in about a month, we will be setup for some of the best winter egg production we’ve ever had. Organic alfalfa, as part of their feed ration and our pasture management, has been secured. Eggs will still be tight at the farmstore for several weeks, but we expect to have well over 20 dozen eggs per day this winter.n Pullet eggs should start in about a month. Enough for everyone. This photo was made this morning, right after the most recent move of three of our four mobile barns. The new three ton grain bin, also mobile, was a new addition to our chicken infrastructure this year. Without that one piece of equipment, we would not be able to keep up on our feeding chores with limited crew this past season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1634064064595-52QBCEULNE2NYAOIG34G/Screen+Shot+2021-10-12+at+12.40.52+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Shells of the Season and the Journey to Rocket Science - Make it stand out We had the best winter squash ever this year and you can find more varieties of winter squash in the farmstore each week as it finishes curing and as other crops, like tomatoes, begin to sellout. If you are just getting to canning projects now, we still have flats of roma tomatoes in the farmstore. Those tomatoes have been well protected in our moveable caterpillar tunnels. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2021/9/28/the-biggest-little-thing monthly 0.5 2021-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1632848408859-OMEA6948CTITN3X1RX0R/Screen+Shot+2021-09-28+at+10.59.44+AM.jpg Farm Blog - The Biggest Little Thing - Make it stand out The building crew, including two farm members, and Team SweetRoot.

At least Noah has a big spread of chickens in view in the background as he works. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2021/2/23/the-winter-farm monthly 0.5 2021-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614128202356-27U38X6KLRNLZIDIG7JP/SRF-winter21+%281+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614128201680-73LIB57NLJ6ROFAXC5UM/SRF-winter21-2.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614128511193-BU89G80NDUNGFHM7EJOZ/SRF-winter21+%283+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm Winter is a time for farm improvements. The shop got a facelift with a large workbench that doubles as tool storage. There’s a new rolling cart that holds fasteners and wrenches. Being a farm that still fabricates a lot of our own tools, cleaning up the workshop was a necessity. We found some things to donate to other farmers and took the rest to local reclaimed building stores. That’s not a puppet theater display on the tabletop; it’s just a freshly assembled nest box for our laying hens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614128771094-GUNGN1SDFBG2L1H3BUBS/SRF-winter21+%284+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm At the height of winter — just over a month ago — our tunnels were bursting with greens. These greens, all harvested now, were harvested as long as the temperatures were above freezing in our unheated tunnels. Since we receive so little sunlight in the winter, we are uncovering in this image to promote growth and airflow. To make the daily covering and uncovering easier, most of our unheated tunnels have thirty foot wide row cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130127421-QT0NBPV7EVW2J5UV5YQU/SRF-winter21+%285+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm This is the first year that we’ve grown microgreens at scale. A good portion of the reason is Sabrina. With some help setting up the system from us, she’s been seeding and harvesting weekly. We grow these using sunlight in our nursery and a small amount of supplemental light. Our favorite (and most reliable) varieties are radish and pea shoot greens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130160073-RJ21WJHF452AOVA00CQL/SRF-winter21+%286+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm From the winter warm, we’ve also had a decent amount of spinach, radishes, carrots, garlic, occasionally other fresh greens and eggs. The carrots and radishes were harvested in the fall and are kept in our walk in cooler at 35 degrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130294504-JPFK9URL9FIP8IKEKQH5/SRF-winter21+%287+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130294561-OT13EKO16H0PWPMUETVC/SRF-winter21+%288+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130296405-2B4XVAG5TSDROQOM170Z/SRF-winter21+%289+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130404945-88PZCKFAWJW56STQC0GU/SRF-winter21+%2810+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130592767-3TKTG5DZENQ7927MI5JZ/SRF-winter21+%2811+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130593131-77AF8WVU0JZFWUBMRBHF/SRF-winter21+%2812+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130729717-2I88O4KGXQNFQ9ULZ829/SRF-winter21+%2813+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm All the materials need somewhere to go. The footprint for the new farm center is large, but it includes a new farmstore, several walk-incoolers, adequate indoor wash and pack space, some better climate control, a nursery, and a space for growing mushrooms. There is also a space for events as well, those workshops we’ve always wanted to have, or a winter film series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130879231-6RDA97V0917XNKK17TTB/SRF-winter21+%2816+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm The whole north lean-to will be storage, mushroom growing space, a loading dock for our growers cooperative and help a few neighbor farmers use this as a shared space.

We hired out the cement, but we did all the drains, rebar, and design work ourselves. Most of all the other work you’ll see us doing this spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130938106-VFNG3ST0LJQ4F5EN3K3D/SRF-winter21+%2818+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm The cement pouring this winter was dicey. It involved using a lot of cement blankets and added a huge amount of chores to uncovering and covering the weeks it took to do the excavation and drains. On the morning where we poured the last of the cement, some of the soil was frozen about a 1/4”. We fired up the farm flame weeder and that took care of the problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130972080-W85M4H8KPU1JSLW4E6PS/SRF-winter21+%2819+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm And there it is. Or at least the base of it. It’s our biggest project yet. We are daunted by it, but also excited. It’s something we’ve needed for a long long time. But it’s the biggest project we’ve ever taken on and when we aren’t in the farm office working on our crop plan, interviewing perspective crew, or working on another project, we are likely making working on this. It’s been more than a year of planning and we are excited to see this project take shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614130993488-K0L78BJYG7K52FKPK5U4/SRF-winter21+%2820+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm All the while we’ve converted a small part of our nursery, heated by a pellet stove, into some wash and pack space.

So we had to wash eggs at home until we thawed pipes. Next fall we’ll insulate those pipes a bit better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614131126712-RR2B2Q19AJWIDPAF9XVO/SRF-winter21+%2822+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614131126718-UQDHFUK7Q0IFD7WCNIUZ/SRF-winter21+%2823+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614131128107-ELMHPUA1L9FDAA2QMXS8/SRF-winter21+%2824+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614131128210-L8LNVWDIBUWVV4AR1SN2/SRF-winter21+%2825+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614131167605-W2KLBQ8RSYV8QVHVX2LO/SRF-winter21+%2826+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm Malaya, ever a tomato scavenger, is in high form, sleeping in the snow on sunny days, waiting for farm visitors, and somehow, got one of the last farm tomatoes of the year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1614131190699-9I8XIQBGEAX4WR2GWCWF/SRF-winter21+%2827+of+28%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos from The Winter Farm Christmas Day 2020, with the whole farm crew, including both Sabrina and Willa, in the farm van off for an excursion. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/12/29/final-2020-greens-are-in-the-farmstore monthly 0.5 2020-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1609273160092-AY84IZ3GAM1V9T27NDNC/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-12-05%2Bat%2B1.05.21%2BPM.jpg Farm Blog - Final 2020 Greens are in the Farmstore! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1609273626364-L7EMMA7I4V9FQ1JJGZHW/Screen%252BShot%252B2020-12-29%252Bat%252B1.03.50%252BPM.jpg Farm Blog - Final 2020 Greens are in the Farmstore! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1609273511811-09DA26FZNTKTW0L93N08/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-12-29%2Bat%2B1.05.21%2BPM.jpg Farm Blog - Final 2020 Greens are in the Farmstore! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1609273715539-WLBQDP4NFW8YX4Y3TJX8/Screen+Shot+2020-12-29+at+1.05.39+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Final 2020 Greens are in the Farmstore!

He’s off, back to Minnesota to start his own farm, and the entire crew (Mary, Noah, Alexis, Sabrina) staying on will miss him. We are excited to see what farming operation Johnnie does next, and we look forward to supporting him however we can. Sabrina is our first year-round team member, and we are both excited and daunted about this. The winter farm membership supports this, and the winter farm has more than enough to keep all of us busy. Alexis Vai (center) will finish the farming season sometime here in late November. She’s done everything from help keep us straight at market, to harvests, planting, and even arranging farm flowers. It’s our secret hope that we can keep her as long as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1605031502362-AM2FU23U5RK9J6KR03NX/SweetRoot-Farm-1.jpg Farm Blog - Winter Farming Mary drops bulbs into 6 inch trench we dug with the rotary plow mounted on our walking tractor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1605031568991-NVAU73OY2SKS7UN9ZUVX/SweetRoot-Farm-3.jpg Farm Blog - Winter Farming Winter salad mix peeks out from one of our moveable caterpillars and as Sabrina and Mary sort spring bulbs (planted yesterday) in one of our field carts.

We then uncover it on week 2, to grow fuller for harvest at weeks 3 and 4. Repeat some 32 times through the season, and you have consistent greens! We’ll do this 4-5 more times outdoors, before switching to hardy winter greens in our unheated high tunnels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1596554773320-BKF2UKQWUSZ1R2GBDRC4/Screen+Shot+2020-08-04+at+9.23.18+AM.jpg Farm Blog - The Fullness of August Do yourself (and, ok, us) a favor, please try grilling slices of chiogga beets.

The 6 gauge buried cable was actually donated to the farm from some of Mary’s family. It made the whole project much more affordable. Along with this, buried power went to our yurt and sauna too — quite an upgrade for us and it means more planting space for perenials.

When pasture and cover crop run a bit short, we are supplement with organic alfalfa— almost 3 tons of it on this 3/4 of an acre series of paddocks. While this strategy is more expensive then some other approaches, it means extra flavor and nutrition in eggs and healthier soil in the long term. Our chickens, in their 3 mobile barns, will be moved in about a week. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/3/20/farm-food-rising-eat-local-with-action-opportunities monthly 0.5 2020-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1584723358825-B7UWVBP70B4ZF7NKDR1O/Screen+Shot+2020-03-20+at+10.55.42+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Farm Food Rising: Eat Local With Action Opportunities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1584724007382-W7IIL2WGHCAHXLX2Y4ZX/Screen+Shot+2020-03-20+at+11.06.27+AM.jpg Farm Blog - Farm Food Rising: Eat Local With Action Opportunities http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/3/12/dont-panic monthly 0.5 2020-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1584045953434-5SC917RQ44Y4A6H1DDKI/SweetRoot-Farm-crew-1.jpg Farm Blog - Don't Panic: An Abundance of Eggs and Spring Innovation Even though we are well established, spring at SweetRoot is always a little, um, rocky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1584047088205-RIQB6LJ9LGB87LRSMWLO/SweetRoot-Farm-crew-1-3.jpg Farm Blog - Don't Panic: An Abundance of Eggs and Spring Innovation Two of our three mobile, pastured chicken barns.

With frozen tops, and the remaining beets a total loss, this fall's storage root harvest wasn't quite how we wanted it to be, but we didn't stay down about it long. We had to pause to appreciate the fact that this *one* bin represented more carrot pounds than we had ever had on-farm at this point in the season before. Maybe at least we got a bit better at growing them this year, and you can bet that next year we'll get them in safe and on time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581048758863-BCNVZ1NXDYH4B95QDWOB/Screen+Shot+2020-02-06+at+9.12.22+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Kitchen Season A favorite fall dish: a squash casserole from the original Moosewood cookbook. Kitchen season feels also like a time for connecting with loved ones, and I was reminded as I picked up our well-worn copy of that veggie-loving cookbook, that it was a gift from my parents, the note from them dated Christmas, 1999. My mom instilled in me the habit of making notes in my cookbooks, and this has an early 2000 note pencilled in "combination sounds odd, but it's really good." The cooked squash, yogurt, feta cheese, peppers, onion, and garlic really do blend beautifully together in this dish. It goes perfectly with a spinach salad and warm pita bread. Leftovers make a perfect pizza sauce, too! The whole recipe is in our squash guide printed up in the farmstore. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/6/post-freeze-news monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581048982413-AKAO3GQQM5GGM8RUA68V/Screen+Shot+2020-02-06+at+9.16.04+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Post-Freeze News Sunday evening, geese higher and faster than our local flocks, confirmed the forecast of coming cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581049986153-S46URM2BGSZX3DVMJ9AK/Screen+Shot+2020-02-06+at+9.31.05+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Post-Freeze News Monday, 3:45 pm, the wind and snow hit and did not stop till the next morning.

Folks who have been members since the very first boxes we packed (we used to do a pre-packed CSA box!), gifted the farm a very gently used 1999 Dodge Caravan, and it has already been serving us well as a delivery vehicle! http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/hello-august monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581109652969-EHI2GXVXZIGURIIEC61S/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.07.07+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Hello, August The tomatillo trickle started last week, and people kept asking "what do you do with tomatillos?" So this week at market, we have green salsa recipes at two scales: a quick batch with a small bag, or enough to can. We also have, um, a flood of tomatillos, so we hope the you are up for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581109798609-FR4JJK9WOIT4BFS7L9X4/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.08.36+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Hello, August We share a lot of recipes, but so many of our best meals are simple improvisation with a cast iron skillet, a good tasty oil, a few herbs and seasonings, and the confidence to know how long to cook, and in what order. Two nights this week, Erin and Taylor wrapped up their tasks a little before Noah and I, and whipped up some extremely delicious big veggie bowls. Their directions, including the secret ingredient: heat the butter, bacon fat, or oil in the pan. Have all your veggies chopped to the size you like. Start with the most durable: beets, carrots and potatoes of all varieties. Cook them up a few minutes, then add the onions and garlic. When they get a little soft, add your summer squashes, and kale, chard, etc.. Cook till soft, then season to taste. Salt and pepper are good; we have an open jar of farm-dried thyme near the stove that goes in pretty much everything. Basil is nice. Or curry powder. The secret to this weeks root-based scrambles: a dash of maple syrup, to taste, near the end of cooking. It's subtle, but somehow does bring it all together. Give it a try, do some experiments, and let us know your favorite combinations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581109879809-K94K0C34KPI9AXXLEJU3/image-asset.jpeg Farm Blog - Hello, August Farm members Travis and Shelly visit with the crew as we end a long Monday harvest day with onion cleaning and bunching. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581109812327-G6KI7M18LBJOA3XRMLQ5/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.09.01+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Hello, August The romaine is still sweet and crips despite the heat, and the heads are huge! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581109965096-1JGGU13GUJJWAK772O75/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.12.22+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Hello, August Farm-scale sandwiches, even Hershey is impressed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581109834344-NFEW34WPCBBHZJ6Y0W2D/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.08.56+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Hello, August Would it be a newsletter without a photo of Zukes? He's taken to napping under the peppers and eggplant, but emerges to greet anyone harvesting. Also, there are eggplant coming to market! And we love our new harvest buckets from Hoss tools; you'll likely see all of us emerging from various parts of the farm wearing these over our shoulders in the coming months, and harvests get bigger and heavier every day. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/maximum-chaos monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110122185-JINIKQFEX0GN0QNSU2SM/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.15.05+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Maximum Chaos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110147962-2M4YO5UZ36MR7D4BBG2P/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.15.28+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Maximum Chaos. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/dirty-but-victorious monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110465767-DG59F5E9WDSZJ3EH2ACJ/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.20.49+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Dirty, But Victorious We're back. Three weeks post-hailstorm, we are excited to see the zucchini and summer squash bouncing back. This one, our very favorite variety, Costata Romanesco, will be at market with us Saturday, and in the farmstore all week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110497809-OOBR55HC0QF6H793G5R2/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.20.35+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Dirty, But Victorious After the spring struggles with this new North field, it's especially satisfying to be hitting a rhythm with our weekly salad plantings and harvests. Hundreds of pounds of greens have been pouring out of each block before it is mowed and covered in a tarp to help worms break down the crop residue before the next planting. We're getting better at all the steps, and are finally starting to feel like we're getting the hand of some of these new tool and techniques. That's our BCS flail mower taking down lettuce residue left after harvest, to mulch it back into the soil--many thanks to all those of you who helped up purchase it through a KIVA loan! The learning curve was steep, but we're starting to love some of the results of our minimal-tillage systems already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110528451-R3OEKN7E8V7I3E6INGEJ/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.20.24+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Dirty, But Victorious Mary demonstrates a new technique for weaving our peppers onto their stakes. One little tip from a farmer on instagram whom we've never met, plus a scrap of PVC pipe, and suddenly a task is faster, more ergonomic, and generally more fun. The peppers are not too far in the future! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110565686-ZXYMSBBMVPVCHKG7LTOA/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.20.18+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Dirty, But Victorious 10 students from the Job Corps program learned about our farm, soil biology, and weeded winter squash with us on Friday.

Our plan for making up for the damage includes an extra , and extra-large planting of fall beets and carrots. Dan delivers 13 yards of compost that will help make the dry sandy end of the north field a great place for growing roots. All our sections of field are numbered as blocks, but this additional space is a little short. There's a full Block 9, and then there are a few more beds we weren't originally going to plant, when we made our spring plan. When we realized, though, that we were going to be planting North Block 9 and 3/4, we were pretty we'd found some magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581110671221-C50EWDAU4UUNPF1VFPSY/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+2.24.17+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Dirty, But Victorious Friday night at sunset, we finished planting the extra roots.

Erin, above, is well on her way to mastering our BCS walking tractor, purchased with a zero-interest loan this spring, along with a series of implements that disturb the soil much less than traditional tillage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581111153405-WLTM19PEVNHXV2LY1YVH/image-asset.jpeg Farm Blog - (Not Dead Yet) The Week After Hail Hail damaged beds, flail mowed and ready for new plantings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581111424174-QNGI82TW9S09IFUKEMTF/2020+crew-1-8.jpg Farm Blog - (Not Dead Yet) The Week After Hail This block of 14 beds was an emergency planting block, one we had in reserve. We don't want to talk about the amount of compost (it's expensive) that it'll take to get into production, but here we are tarping this in after watering it in to break down organic matter and eliminate weeds. The trick with all of tarps is using the wind to your advantage, and then keeping them down with hundreds of pounds of sand bags. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581111483785-59HPUCCDCQ8E4ICB0A4R/2020+crew-1-10.jpg Farm Blog - (Not Dead Yet) The Week After Hail With some of the extra time this week, we put a new trellis system in our high tunnel and did some maintenance on our tomatoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581111401427-LSX1A11T0I4CV21HC7T6/2020+crew-1-9.jpg Farm Blog - (Not Dead Yet) The Week After Hail We aren't sure why Zukes, one of the cats, loves our Kubota so much.

This weekend, it was our turn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581112424482-FQGONJTF2PE8O3F3A7ID/2020+crew-1-12.jpg Farm Blog - Hail Announcement - Important Before Saturday evening, this was a perfect block of salad mix, arugula, baby kale, and Asian greens. Mary smelled the crushed arugula from 200 feet away, as we walked out to assess the damage. We uncovered this planting Thursday, and were looking forward to harvesting it Monday and Thursday of this week. None of it is salvageable, except perhaps some radish roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581112470984-OU902500FIYC1N9NG356/2020+crew-1-13.jpg Farm Blog - Hail Announcement - Important The white are drifts of nickel-sized hail, some of which actually punctured the protective row cover we use to both improve germination and keep insect pests out of our baby greens. Four species of 30' x 120' row cover are perforated with 1/4 to 1/2 inch holes, and will be retired instead of being in use for 2-3 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581112490663-JPNEP0OAPSABD5AV79Z6/2020+crew-1-15.jpg Farm Blog - Hail Announcement - Important A little bit of learning and silver lining: we invested in some painfully expensive protective insect netting this spring, to try covering our weekly boc choi plantings with (flea beetles and cabbage moths love it). The bed on the right has that, which held up OK to the hail (in some places it still bruised the leaves underneath, but it wasn't torn). The bed on the left, covered in our usual row cover, was torn up pretty badly. It was newly transplanted, though, and is likely to outgrow the damage and be harvest-able within 4-5 weeks. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/big-harvest-time monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581113014893-5UDPKK22MQZ1SZFNOEXV/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.01.50+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Big Harvest Time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581112963875-WM737F0OMKJCYI6WTRVY/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.02.22+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Big Harvest Time http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/fwke81s8jgnl80dzp9xsbuzk3m1vpw monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581113764685-5MILPOV4EZQDA7JPJW51/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.15.48+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Impossible Week https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581113153618-M1O534QVPWUQS35OUUCV/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.05.36+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Impossible Week https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581113663434-EPMB6QV11LX7X10EHUW8/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.07.09+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Impossible Week https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581113685306-HW9L5C6258QHRCSZLEDF/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.07.16+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Impossible Week https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581113722150-QV25NNBVAV12QVETN9CP/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.15.06+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Impossible Week http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/ahead-and-behind-all-at-once monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581114303908-HRYWUAE7TALITHDPUP94/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.24.33+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Ahead and Behind, All At Once http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/5te9urmxl5xeik5s8f2txvickbxulu monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581114680201-OPJADCUM78O8AH7Z893P/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.31.03+PM.jpg Farm Blog - June, Ready or Not https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581114754060-PS928N3NXZY7D8EDM1GM/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.32.20+PM.jpg Farm Blog - June, Ready or Not Same block of beds as above, but earlier in the day: a mess of thistle, grass and perennial weeds, despite weeks of being covered in dark tarps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581114801811-DO5B4P9WKLGJBH2QLSLT/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.30.30+PM.jpg Farm Blog - June, Ready or Not http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/zl4bdph9t9ge7adfqmehb8xpurjh9l monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581117769630-VAJ8AB4DWG2KH1JPMUGT/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.44.42+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Mother’s Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581117824501-8UMLW0NAJF5JMJNX0SKW/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.44.48+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Mother’s Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581117956894-RUAB10C9JIV9QMRU4W2G/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.44.54+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Mother’s Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581118007871-CHQAT273H7R87ZHAK81R/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.45.02+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Mother’s Day http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/by-all-accounts-the-latest-spring-in-26-years monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581115351637-2KSAULUOWJP8Q4G9Y890/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.42.04+PM.jpg Farm Blog - By All Accounts, the Latest Spring in 26 Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581115286737-571BQDYKEFOKHBMQ7H8E/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.41.00+PM.jpg Farm Blog - By All Accounts, the Latest Spring in 26 Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581115310208-OX094NHSJUO4AJJAUHV0/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+3.41.08+PM.jpg Farm Blog - By All Accounts, the Latest Spring in 26 Years http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2020/2/7/legend-of-the-tree-frogs-first-market monthly 0.5 2020-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581118491798-U28SDXTJKU5OUS51CC9J/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+4.34.33+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Legend of The Tree Frogs (First Market) Some of today's harvest, left to right: baby kale, arugula spinach, salad mix.

They joined the growing chorus of red-wing blackbirds that, in my mind, have been shrieking SEEEED! SEEEED! for at least a month already. And with the temperatures finally above zero, and with ground thawed out in our high tunnels we have finally been following their advice. This spring, with late February and early March averaging more than 25 degrees below the seasonal norms, had us re-arranging our crop planning and calendars even before a single seed went in the ground. That March 8th round of greens seeding? Um, afraid not. And it's ok, we'll catch up. In the meantime, there are no shortage of building projects and farm tools to build, make, order, and learn. The well-house is almost finished, and the daunting but exciting steps of final wiring and plumbing are next on the docket, to have water ready to go on our tunnels and front field before the irrigation ditches come on in late April. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581124251785-ZWJIHXP6NN44KAF3P2UW/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+6.10.33+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Spinach and Smooth Roads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1581124336177-71VE025TDRABH6NOY742/Screen+Shot+2020-02-07+at+6.11.52+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Spinach and Smooth Roads Editor’s Note: After 40 hours this past season it got a lot easier; and after 80 hours this past season it was a breeze.

This was a forest island of fruit trees mixed with community lands, large trees and the surrounding park. Moonlight filtered down through the forest and clouds rolled up. Muffled laughter filtered down the hill from the church, through the forest, through the mist. Just years ago, a decade or two, men and women carried salt from the coastal areas to this community. Now, it’s flown in by helicopter when the bridges that span the rivers need to be repaired. To arrive under the moon, via logging road and the path that links the sea to the forest is to experience what this might be like -- years ago. Crossing a bridge under the moonlight with a loaded pack and a roaring river below is like reenacting the migration. In this forest, though, I heard bare feet pounding the forest path. The large canopy parts and moonlight and clouds pool. I set my camera back in the forest, well off the footpath and made a single exposure to illuminate the night forest and moonlight. In this same exposure, I managed to catch the the gang of kids, running home, with just one flash exposure using two remote flashes near the forest trail, firing at 1/20,000 of a second. The night was cold, fog passing through the forest created some condensation on my camera lens adding to the mystical effect and warmth of this image. Later that night, I fell asleep to the voices of river murmur and moonlight and things that blew down the forest path, past my sleeping hut and deeper in. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2019/2/9/photo-essay-chickensinwinter monthly 0.5 2019-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549757235654-5CMN82PO26L9CN2LCRY8/srf+%281+of+22%29.jpg Farm Blog - Photos : From the Outside In.

Here, she celebrates that anniversary by relishing the reverse direction of her first long trip with us, as we head up the Columbia Gorge and home after almost a week away, to attend family holidays and a dear friend's wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1547845023720-C43XUIS91ULKGBK27WML/Screen+Shot+2019-01-15+at+10.55.28+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter: The Season for So Many Things https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1547845103183-VL4ZXPYIOWJALKVK4TSX/Screen+Shot+2019-01-15+at+10.57.06+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Winter: The Season for So Many Things http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2019/2/9/xcevphmp312uhj4zv401c04st5ruxc monthly 0.5 2019-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549767000632-NHGTBZAJMXTHPL6HCQSG/Screen+Shot+2019-02-09+at+7.48.55+PM.jpg Farm Blog - One Last Round of Friday Night Lights The garlic is safely in and mulched.

Fall has something in common with unloading a borrowed auger. Mary steadies the bit as Noah lifts the auger out of the Stanley's truck with the tractor. We got our full value out of the 1950's auger we bought used last year, but had to admit we had finally worn it out. With a few more holes to dig, farm friends came to the rescue with the loan (again) of theirs. Thank you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549767104054-N39KKNQVW6WHVRUOLXC5/Screen+Shot+2019-02-09+at+7.49.09+PM.jpg Farm Blog - One Last Round of Friday Night Lights When a warm-up isn't guaranteed, you dig the carrots before the ground freezes any deeper. And sometimes you find secret carrot islands, the tip of the soil-iceberg. We're grateful for our tractor and under cutter bar this week, as the two of us harvested our last two beds of carrots in one afternoon, rather enjoying each other's company. With forks alone, that might not have been the case. http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2019/2/9/still-standing monthly 0.5 2019-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549767399257-JRY6FLFKH940U1F218FR/Screen+Shot+2019-02-09+at+7.55.53+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Still Standing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549767430376-SGG7QG56YXNY0QD6WU7P/Screen+Shot+2019-02-09+at+7.56.01+PM.jpg Farm Blog - Still Standing http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2019/2/9/annual-friday-night-skunking monthly 0.5 2019-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549767706855-1JDPANF5ASK43EN0Z9II/srf+%281+of+1%29-5.jpg Farm Blog - Annual Friday Night Skunking http://www.sweetroot.farm/news/2019/2/9/the-chickens-have-landed monthly 0.5 2019-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549768008159-IO4LX7YYZTN1H73YRLRI/Screen+Shot+2019-02-09+at+8.06.05+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Chickens Have Landed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/572ade21c2ea518c47d41836/1549768054364-DXA35KA32MKWHW2P20ZA/Screen+Shot+2019-02-09+at+8.06.45+PM.jpg Farm Blog - The Chickens Have Landed.
