Early morning discing with Bear and Duke.
Spinach!
Ramps!
It’s ramp season! We are trying out some sustainable harvest techniques. This first round, while the bulbs are still developing, we harvested only 1 of each ramp’s 2 deliciously pungent leaves, leaving the plant to continue its growth. We will eventually harvest again, taking some whole plants to enjoy the bulb as well, but sporadically from the patch to allow the patch to seed anew. Hopefully this will allow the plants to proliferate and be harvested for years to come. #sustainableharvest #ramp #wildedibles #csa

Horse Love

Shedding
We went into the barn to get the horses this morning and they had turned into a couple piles of fur!! JUST KIDDING! Bear and Duke are doing well and seriously shedding their winter coats is all. .
.
Fun Fact: Shedding is not triggered by temperature. It’s linked to photoperiods. As the hours of daylight increase the horse’s winter coat begins to loosen and shed. #draftpower #drafthorse #shedding #springishere
