MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 9/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
All this sunny weather means a busy week mowing and preparing field space, raising caterpillar tunnels (hopefully!), and preparing for the first plantings of the season. Executing these tasks is all about timing - working with the ebb and flow of ephemeral spring weather to get plants in the ground as early as possible. The sooner we’re able to get planting, the sooner we’ll be back to harvesting produce from our own fields to share with all of you. Up first are spring onions, and our very first round of tomatoes, a reminder that summer with all of its energy and momentum is closer than it may seem. Enjoy your boxes this week, and wish us luck!
