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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Seedy Saturday
The is nothing quite like a seed gathering to put a little fire under you to get rolling with the garden prep work. Yesterday was Picton’s annual Seedy Saturday. For those of you who might not be totally familiar with this type of an event I’ll share a little. Seedy Saturdays are events held across [...]

Positive Insanity
Yes, it is now just over a week since we first cracked the doors open here at Fiddlehead Farm. The changes over this period have been quite dramatic. I’ve managed to unpack a large number of my boxes and I’ve actually found my desk underneath it all! Slowly the place is starting to feel more [...]

Much has happen in the last thirteen days. I’ve been working relatively non-stop on the administrative front and the results are promising. With the close so close I’m happy to report that much of the necessary hurdles on the way to closing are now behind us. This Thursday I’ll be putting pen to paper and [...]
