This week we began planting into the field. We are filling up rows of crops an acre at a time, and anticipating a sea of green in a matter of weeks. We have had no measurable rain over the last month. This has made it very challenging to get the fields ready for planting. WithoutContinue reading “Planting”

The farm, soon, will be full of green. Seeds are beginning to sprout and grow into baby plants in the greenhouse. Soon, these baby plants will be ready to transplant into the fields. After that, it will only be a short time until harvest begins. In just 8 weeks, if all goes as planned, weContinue reading “The promise of seeds”

Our summer is ending. That may sound odd, but our “summer break” from growing ends at the beginning of August. Now, all of our careful plans for an abundant season will begin to take shape. We will begin sowing seeds in the greenhouse, getting ground prepped, and beginning the next growing cycle. We have beenContinue reading “Summer is over…”

The harvest season is now over!  The fields are all turned under and no crops remain. Our focus is shifting now to our summer work. We intend to continue sending newsletter updates throughout the summer. We want to thank all of our farm friends – whether you visit us occasionally, each week, or are justContinue reading “Onward, with gratitude”

The final days of the harvest season are here. We just have one final harvest before we shut things down for the summer. On the farm, we are mowing down the fields and getting crops turned under.

We are feeling reminiscent as we wrap up our 9th harvest season and begin plans for our 10th season of Little Pond Farm. When you shop with us, whether you’re trying toContinue reading “Throwback!”

We try to spread health, happiness and beauty into the world with our work. In addition to all of our organic vegetables, we know that flowers are promoters of health, being scientifically proven to be natural mood boosters. Flowers have an immediate impact on joy. And so we keep growing more… acres of them to beContinue reading “Fields of flowers!”

Time flies. Our 35 week harvest season is just about two-thirds of the way through. The time is flying by – we have been busier than ever on the farm and raising a toddler. We have been quiet over email nearly the whole season! We’d like to share some of the best of what’s been happening at the farmContinue reading “Hi, it’s been a while”

In our break from writing a weekly newsletter, three months have now gone by on the farm. Though our harvest period is seasonal, the work does not stop on the farm when we aren’t at the market. During the summer, without crops to harvest, farming is a little different. We spend a great deal ofContinue reading “Here we go!”
