Spring is here!!! And CSA's upon us.
Today it was 90 degrees in the greenhouse by noon! We have a happy crop of baby tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants and spent a warm hour seeding cabbage and brussels sprouts for the season. The cows were calling to each other out back, the horses were horsing around in the paddock, and we are looking forward to a new CSA community this year, and some new additions to our farm community: Maggie, our eager intern fresh from the MSU Student Organic Farm, and hopefully two colonies of honeybees! We have been consulting the great bee minds of Sanilac County and will have two bee motels started by mid-May. We are also going to put together a couple of empty hives in the hope of capturing the interest of some of our healthy wild bees. Get ready for La Casa Abeja, Le Maison d' Abeilles, Das Honigbienehaus, and the Bee Motel! Looking forward to our first meeting.
