While I was there I met my mailman and his wife, who was celebrating her birthday for a 2nd time. Last week, he stopped by my door to deliver a package to my home and asked about Pickpocket Farm. When he left, he was signed up for my farm stand e-mail list. It was awesome running into him again at the Blue Moon. I'd say we accomplished collaborating for the community's well being together.
Spinach for Swasey Elementary Last night I was invited to attend the Food and Health Forum at the Blue Moon Evolution. Pete Johnson from Pete's Greens in Vermont was speaking. His topic was on collaboration in the community for building a stronger local economy.

Other things that Pickpocket Farm is busy doing this spring, is growing spinach, lettuce, mixed greens and scallions for Swasey Elementary school, where my kids attend. It won't be much to offer for such a large school, but it's a start, the kids will get to know where there food comes from. This week and especially starting the first week of April, broccoli, kale, cabbage and all the rest of the heat loving plants like tomatoes and eggplant will be seeded. The greenhouse will be a busy place! Pickpocket Farm will also be selling transplants again for the home garden. Please let me know, if you have anything special you are looking for. I can make sure to grow it! Keep looking for more updates. They will be coming more frequently now that the growing season is really getting under way.
