Easter Weekend & Some Growing News

This weekend saw some family time for Easter. I love having the kids home and family near. Even with holidays, though, there's always work to do on the farm.

One of the projects we want to share with you is our vegetable and flower garden. Last year we planted some flowers and are really looking forward to expanding that section of the garden. I plan on having flowers to offer you to as soon as they begin blooming. Keep an eye out for them in the Farm Shop.  If you look to the side bar here on the blog, you should see a poll we are conducting. Our goal is to provide you with more of want you want. So here's the question: What fresh, garden veggies do you want for your family? If you don't see you favorite listed, don't worry! Just see our complete listing over at Local Harvest. Please leave a comment here so we can be sure to add it to our garden for you.

Have you seen the big hoops in the ground next to the garden? That is the beginning of our greenhouse! Our goal is to be able to provide you with your fresh, garden vegetables for and extended period of time. I'm really happy about this project.

Have you become a friend of our Facebook page yet? Don't forget to share us with your friends as well. We always love expanding our friends! I also want to remind you that you can come visit us here on the farm to ask questions or have a tour. We just ask that you don't come during chore time, so please give us a call or shoot me an email so that I can be sure to set up a good time for us both.

And I've saved the best news for last. Do you ever wonder what became of all those skills that your Grandmother could do out of hand? Make butter, knit a sock, spin yarn, can fruits & veggies, make bread? All of those wonderful things she did that now have become a Lost Tradition? Well, here at Pine Grove Farm, we are going to start teaching you and your friends those Lost Traditions. We want to start very soon, this spring in fact, so keep an eye out here on the blog, on our FB page, and down at the Farm Shop. Don't forget to help us spread the word about it. We want to make these available to anyone, not just our Cow Share holoders.

Take care, have a great day, and thanks for supporting our Family Farm,
