Spring at Buroff Family Farm
Spring seems to have finally arrived! We are getting busy planting and preparing for summer and Farmers Markets. After several spring snows, it feels great to be outside working on the garden and beginning to plant out some of the seedlings we’ve had indoors.
Signs of growth and new life are popping up all over our little farm.
Rhubarb
The only livestock on our farm currently are chickens, and with the warmer weather and longer days they are beginning to lay more consistently. We plan to get a few more chicks later this month to add even more to our egg production, We love getting these beautiful eggs.
This past Saturday gave us sunshine and warm weather, and we took full advantage of it to get the garden started.
We planted sugar snap peas, onions, cabbage, bok choy, brussel sprouts and spinach.
Indoors, the tomatoes and peppers are going strong, waiting for their turn to be planted. These plants love much warmer weather and will not be put in to the ground until later in May.
Farmers Markets
We are excited to be participating in the Mount Carroll Farmer Market this year. The first market day is approaching quickly, on May 25th.
Here is some of what we plan to offer as available:
Fresh Cut Microgreens
Ishikura Onions
Several Varieties of Cherry Tomatoes
Sugar Snap Peas
Other offerings TBD
