February 11
It's been so nice to see the sun out on many occasions recently. Since we didn't have baskets or market to prepare last week it was a perfect opportunity to work on our nursery which is attached to the garage. I really love that little place and I am so glad that we have it set up near the house! It makes it easy to check on the seedlings often.
We also attended a really neat diner last week with a few other small scale sustainable farmers that was put together by the amazing chef Daniel at Pearl Morrisette Winery. We enjoyed a meal crafted by all the products offered by us farmers and I am still dreaming of the amazing wines and ... of all things ...those succulent greens i was served. I love greens but seldom do i get to enjoy them when we are out. I have ordered dishes because they said Swiss Chard only to find 2 little pieces and been greatly disappointed but not this time...it was a mountain and i was in heaven.
In your baskets this week:

Carrots
Leek / green onion mix
