Welcome to Threshing Table Farm’s 2012 Season!

Hello Threshing Table Farm Community!

April is coming to an end and there is an internal alarm system that is telling us that the time is near! We are preparing for the battle! Mike has been fixing, building and readying our equipment. I have been organizing our tools and the greenhouse is filled with the many plants that we will protect and nurture so that they can do what they do: feed us.

We are in the “prepare and protect” stage. We make sure the greenhouse is not too hot, not too cold, not too windy, not too wet, and not too dry.  We know that before long, our plants will be put to the test. We can water when it’s too dry, weed, weed, weed, to give them room to grow and plant them in fertile soil, but beyond that, it’s up to them.

Our home has also been preparing. The kids have job lists and meals have been put in the freezer. Dentist and Dr. appointments have been taken care of and visiting family afar has come to an end. When we start putting these plants in the ground in a few short weeks, it is all-hands on deck!

What an exciting, exhausting, amazing adventure that we are about to embark on!  We have the energy of spring running through us just as it is our plants.  We’re up with the sun and anxious to get to the business of farming. 

If you have signed up recently, you may have missed the info. on Farm Sweet Farm’s Chicken and Beef.  They only have ground beef available for purchase at this time. If you are interested in other cuts, you can be put on a waiting list.  There are still pasture raised chickens for sale, but they too are going fast. Contact me for ordering info.

We do have full and ½ shares available, so if you are still planning on signing up, or know of someone who would like to join us yet, go to www.threshingtablefarm.org to sign up. You can also mail the form to us through snail mail.

We often get asked if people can come out and volunteer. The answer is always, Yes! If you are interested, let us know. We have everything from weeding to planting flowers to landscaping. We also have organizing, repairing and cleaning jobs. There are so many things that need to be done to keep our farm going that we can keep just about anyone with just about any skill level happily busy.  J

Well- I’m off to water the greenhouse and speak encouraging thoughts to our plants
If you’d like more frequent updates from us you can “like” Threshing Table Farm on Facebook. I try to update it every few days. 

We wish you all the awe and wonder of spring-
Your farmers!
