 Hello Everyone:

Our farm gate store is now taking orders for carrots, honey, and garlic.

If you are interested inn our products, send your requests to whitsmg@gmail.com.








Our field in Stittsville is being very productive this season.  The potatoes, kidney beans, carrots and rutabaga are looking very good.  

The garlic is finished curing and I am in the process of grading it, selecting seed bulbs, and delivering the season customers share.

As soon as the garlic is out of the barn rafters, the kidney beans (pictured right) will be harvested, bundled up, and hung in the rafters for their turn to cure.





I spent a large amount of effort into preparing our future vegetable field in Lanark during the first two weeks of the month.  After seeding what should be our final cover crop of radish, clover, and buckwheat, I waited for rain.  And waited, while a flock of crows descended to start eating the seeds.






Fortunately, I put a lot of seed down, but none of it will perform unlesss we recieve more rain.  We now have had a little, but more is needed.  Keep hoping for wet weather!
