I’m hungry, I’m sore, I have a sunburn on my arms… and I wouldn’t trade feeling this way for anything! Farming is my passion and my obsession and I want to do it every day as long as I can. My name is Jess and I am the Harvest Manager and fellow farmer alongside Steve [...]

April Showers
Spring is finally starting to take shape here on the farm. I am happy to see that the progress that we made in our first year has laid a good foundation for this year. The greenhouse is full of seedlings ready to be planted and the fields are plowed from the fall. The rains have [...]

Maple in the County
This past weekend (March 23rd & 24th) was the annual Maple in the County event. While Fiddlehead Farm hasn’t yet gotten around to establishing its sugar bush I took the opportunity to do something rare: I got off the farm and did some touring around the county. Heather will attest to the fact that I [...]

Spring is in the Air
March has finally arrived and while there is still snow on the ground I am slowly beginning to emerge from hibernation. While it has been a busy winter plugging away at things on my desk and working to ensure that 2013 knocks the socks off of 2012 I am still feeling the sluggishness of a [...]

Update: Decemer 12, 2012
It has been over a month now since our final 2012 CSA shares went out. Many of you might expect life on the farm to slow down and for the many hours of needed rest and sleep we shorted in the summer would be indulged in now. Happily you’d be right on most counts. Life [...]

Summer & Fall
August 22, 2012 We trust everyone is enjoying the return of salad greens; we definitely are here at the farm! We’ve been having cooler mornings out in the county, which is definitely good for our greens. We’re seeing a lot of recovery in our kale. It was particularly hard-hit by flea beetles for most of [...]

It has been some time since we added a posting here. The funny thing is that we do write a newletter for our CSA Members each week. In the interests of bringing you up to date here are our new letters to date and I’ll be adding the new ones as we go from now [...]

In The Garden
In the garden indeed – that’s where we’ve been the past month and a bit. Some things of note that have occurred around the farm during this time; our interns, Vanessa and Tyler, have arrived, as well as bees, laying hens and a steady supply of milk from Bella the goat. We’ve seen the first [...]

April in Photos
Another month is almost spent and April has been a busy one. Since pictures are worth a thousand words I thought that I would share some of the snapshots of the last month. This first set of photos is from the Easter long weekend. Heather’s family joined us for many feast sized meals and a [...]

Restorations, WWOOFers, and CSAs
One of the joys of moving into an old farm is the odd bits of equipment that have been left behind from ages past. The effort of uncovering and evaluating the equipment can be a time consuming one. If you can find some helpers the work goes so much more smoothly. Luckily enough for Fiddlehead [...]
