MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 16/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
Warm temperatures and little rain has transformed what once felt like a late spring into an early summer up here on the San Juan Ridge. Along the roads and all around our fields, trees are blooming synchronously, and the ancient oak that sits at the heart of the farm has leafed out once again. We’ve begun to remove some of the floating fabric row cover that blankets most of our fields, revealing thousands of plants that aren’t nearly as tiny as they used to be - future food for the masses! Recent days have been spent working on the usual tasks and projects, and, most importantly, contending with the millions of weeds that lie in wait atop every freshly planted bed. What a privilege to spend these days outside in the middle of so much goodness. April! Spring! Onward and upward!
