We had a busy week here at the farm as we had a water pipe laid to connect to our field on Friday the 15th. We filled the hole in on Tuesday, fixing a leak that sprang. The vineyard and the hops yard also got hoed in preparation for spraying herbicides and fungicides today. On Wednesday we restrung the hops yard as much as we could with the rope we had on hand, more rope has been ordered to finish that job in the coming week.

Big thank you to Brad Humbert for letting us come up to Bear Branch Malting Facility and giving us a tour! A big thank you as well for donating some malting barley seed!

December has come and gone. As we ring in the new year we excitedly plan what's to come. Our apples, peaches, blackberries, asparagus, hops, and grapes are all going into their second year of production this year. New additions will be joining our plants this year as well. We will be planting cut flowers where we previously had our sunflowers and we will be adding more vegetables and herbs to our hightunnel. Some more returning crops that will have to be replanted are our corn and our pumpkins. The buckwheat may be making a reappearance this year but may also be getting replaced with oats. As we come to the end of one successful year, we hope that the coming year will be filled with lots of life and success for our urban farm.
