The farm will be getting some piglets this spring, that will be put to work. They will be living on the back part of the veggie field to work the soil and put some more life into it. We will accept any compost to feed the little piggies, named Bacon and Sausage. Share members will have first dibs to put orders in for organic pastured raised pork in the fall.
This summer the hoop house will grow Lola tomatoes, Asian Cucumbers, Chrarentais melons, Eggplants, and GINGER. Right now the field is growing 667 cloves of 4 different varieties of garlic, which will be ready in July. And I want to try growing some dried beans this coming season, especially since the shares will go further into October this year.
Life is Sweet will again offer bread shares to go along with your vegetables. You will be able to enjoy granola, loaf and artisan bread, and cookies.
To learn more, Pickpocket Farm's informational meeting will be on January 21st at 10am. Please join us to meet other fellow share members and catch up.
