Our farm season is definitely well underway with leeks, onions, carrots, beets, lettuce, brassicas, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and cucumbers in the ground; with potatoes, corn, beans, winter squash to be planted this week! Companion flowers and herbs will complement our crops and will prove their worth as they help our crops defend themselves throughout the growing season. Piglets are rooting in last year's turkey pasture and last year's pig pasture is growing a great crop of fall pig food and gourds. Dairy cows are grazing in our coastal pastures. Haying season officially began as we baled and wrapped 24 bales on Tide Mill Farm today. It will ferment for 20 days and then be ready for our dairy and beef cows to eat as the lush pastures give way to the summer heat.

Dairy Page. There's a lot happening with dairy in the state of Maine. We have created a special page dedicated to nothing but milk and dairy. Check it out to get the latest on what's happening and how to get our milk.

We are filled with optimism and excitement as we do our farm chores accompanied by warm temperatures (yet still no pesky bugs, which is a real treat!) and the songs of the Killdeer and Woodcock. The greenhouse is alive with healthy young plants and our pigs are thrilled with their new found access to the roots and soil they love to chew.

Check out our "Products and Ordering" page to discover the variety of tasty food that can be delivered to you this month. Stay tuned for new and exciting products (Whole Milk Ricotta, for example) and services that we will be bringing you in 2009! As always, thanks for your support. After all, this whole wonderful picture would not be possible without you.
