CROSSROAD FARM Quality Local Produce Post Mills, Vermont |
THIS MONTH AT CROSSROAD FARM
As this year’s unique winter starts to wind
down we are excited to begin a new year of
sustainable farming here in Post Mills, VT.
Though the snow cover continues to wane,
we are careful not to get too excited about
the potential for a gentle spring, conducive to
early plantings and infrequent frosts. We are
looking forward to another exciting and
productive season here at Crossroad Farm!
We are pleased to announce that Philip
Mason will be returning for at least one more
summer of farm work, to assume the role
recently vacated by Liana Hebb as Farm-
Crew Manager. Philip will be joining Jamie
Hosley, long-time field and crop manager,
early in March to help us get started with
bedding plants and flowers, as well as
tomatoes.
CSA shares are available, and are
accompanied by a substantial discount if
purchased between March 1 and April 30.
Farm-shares can be used to purchase bedding
plants and flowers from our greenhouses in
the spring as well as vegetables and other
local specialties from our stand throughout
the summer and fall. Just click on the Farm
Shares menu tab for details.
The first pansies, herbs, alliums, and
perennials have been transplanted in our
earliest greenhouse, “Solar.” Sun-filled
Solar’s southern exposure provides our
earliest bedding plants with the environment
they need to thrive even in early March. We
have successfully started our first tomatoes
and will soon begin to prepare “Big Tom,”
our earliest tomato greenhouse, for its
planting in the third week of March.
Underground hot water pipes allow the soil in
Big Tom to maintain a cozy 60 degrees,
providing our first tomatoes with a healthy
environment for spring growth. Even if we
are blanketed with more spring snow, we are
officially on track to have our first ripe
tomatoes by the end of May.
