Food Production

Pickles are on the Way
Several of the plants have started to show fruits.

Baby Watermelons
The plants are starting to bear fruit. So small now, but we're hopeful.

Raspberries
We planted a few raspberry plants. Should get a good crop next on all the growth we saw this spring.

Blackberries
We had two patches of blackberries growing on the farm and they are producing fruit. Pruning the plants is a big "pain" though.

Orchard
We started a longer term project and planted some fruit trees. Apples and peaches.

Cucumbers
Another crop for the straw bales is cucumbers. This variety is primarily for pickles.

Watermelons
We love watermelon in the summer. This is another new crop to try growing in straw bales.

Pumpkin
Decided to try to grow pumpkins. At the very least the goats will enjoy any we end up growing. These are planted in straw bales.

Figs
We planted a couple fig trees. There was some good growth this spring.

Blueberries
After a slow start, we finally moved some blueberry bushes into a more permanent location. We used a raised bed setup for the fabric bags the plants are in.
