Winter

We got our first snow fall before we had completely cleared the fields. Here some hoops and row cover get squished by the fluffy wet stuff. Winter always hits fast... our last post was just about harvesting the last of the carrots in 70 degree weather!
There are a lot of winter jobs that keep us plenty busy. There are office jobs like reapplying for our organic certification, signing up CSA members, planning our vegetable plantings and ordering seeds. Then there are farm maintenance projects that we finally have time to do like tractor and equipment maintenance and getting a heater hung in our greenhouse. Even without the heater hooked up yet, Ben reports that the greenhouse is very pleasant to work in despite the bitter cold winds outside.
