No. How about a Freezer Challenge?
Beginning Sunday, Feb. 17- March 3, I challenge YOU to use ONE thing from your freezer that you got locally or grew yourself. Post a picture of your creation on IG or Facebook and hashtag it #bluemarblefarmfreezerchallenge. Tell us what you used from your freezer storage to make it. What will you get? Great ideas of what to do with what’s in your freezer or what to put in there for next winter.  Sorry this event has been canceled.
Cindy Schreiner, from Sundog Yoga will be teaching the class. The class is free and all levels are welcome. Please bring a mat or blanket. Class is weather permitting.  We love our view!  Yummy Gazpacho!  Showing off the new greenhouse!     Great company and conversations!
Two new changes at the Farm. We are now registered with the state of Pennsylvania to sell plants! We hope to have some available at the Genesee Community Days Festival and the Potter County Farmers Market. The farm is now incorporated. We are now a Limited Liability Company.  We have been hard at work getting the beds ready and planting.
I think we have more worms this year then we have ever had. Our beds are permanent raised beds. I know you see a rototiller in one of the pictures. We only use it in between the rows ( when it's working). By using the rototiller in the walk ways we are able to feed the beds and the worms.  Well not yet for us. But there is good news. Poor man's fertilizer! Snow! We have plenty of that here on the farm. One advantage of having a blanket of snow all winter and spring is insulation. The snow provides insulation that prevents soil temperatures from constantly fluctuating between freezing and thawing which prevents frost heaving. Another advantage is the snow deposits nitrogen into the soil as it melts. And snow prevents weeds from getting a head start when the weather starts to get warmer and stays warm.  April 22, 2015
The latest snowfall date we have had is May 18. I can't remember what year but we had 3 inches. |
