A wintry scene at Muddy Fingers Farm


We are busy getting ready for the next growing season which starts at the end of this month!
We ordered another unheated greenhouse (hoophouse) so we can have better winter greens production next year. Our barn is being fully rehabed and looking awesome. We bought a new mower for our walk behind tractor that will help us better chop up all of our soil-building cover crops. Plus we are planning all sorts of other little improvements and experiments for the coming season.
So don't forget: we are now accepting CSA memberships. Follow the link on the right side of the page to download the form. Let me know if it doesn't work for some reason.
