Hello friends!  Let us celebrate the first day of May!  Let the outdoor planting season begin!  I know this comment may seem premature for those who experienced last night's frost, but there are foods that will take some frost.  Potatoes, peas, spinach, arugula, rhubarb, and chives to begin the list.  I am thrilled that we recently received some overdue rain.  I've been sowing for weeks, and nothing wanted to germinate with the 85 degree arid conditions in April!  Ahh, cooler temperatures.
    The Hamiton Farmer's Market begins this Saturday May 3.  It will be nice to visit with our other vendor friends.  We enjoy the community that attends the market as well!  Our customers are so supportive of our endeavors and curious about our offerings.   We're looking forward to a fabulous season of plenty.
    Our farm recently acquired a little Ford tractor!!  My father brought it from Pennsylvania.  My uncle found it in a hedgerow, it just needed some TLC.  My family has a gift for finding the needle in the haystack, the diamond in the rough.  We're so excited!  It has a bucket on the front, and has a brushhog for mowing.  We will also be adding a plow, discs, and harrows to the collection this year....they all didn't fit on the trailer!  My family in PA really misses us, but shows their love with equipment.  We are so thankful for them!
