Spring is just around the corner and we have been busy around the Farm. There is much to do this time of year and we are ready to be outside.
On March 7, 2020 the Farm Fresh Mercantile will re-open for the season. We will be open the first and last Saturdays in March from 10AM – 2PM. We will announce the April schedule soon.
During this episode we discussed a new email system and free ebook. If you are not already receiving updates through email, you can sign up by clicking on the picture below:

Until next time….
Finally, a break in the dreary weather allows us some time to do a few outdoor tasks. It is time to get tools ready, do early pruning, clean up garden beds and more.
While all of those tasks begin, we are still moving forward with speaking events and course building.
Mark your calendars for the first Mercantile opening of the season on March 7, 2020. We will be open from 10:00AM – 2:00PM. Looking ahead, our 2nd Annual Spring Fling will be April 18, 2020.
Keep coming back, it’s going to get interesting!
On this episode we discuss using shredded paper in the compost pile.
As part of our ongoing effort to declutter and organize, we have sorted and cleaned out old financial records. Some of the records went back 10 years plus. After sorting out the colored and glossy papers, the rest were sent through the cross cut shredder.
The resulting bags of minced paper pieces will be composted or used in the bottom of transplant pots.

We have been busy on these long dreary winter days creating new products in both the kitchen and basement lab.
