Greetings!

Even though Spring seems slow in it's arrival and the snow line is still very visible, we continue right on schedule with our seeding, propagating, transplanting and set-up, including opening more areas to the public as we bring more crops out to the retail tables. Each week there is more and more to browse through as we set up the crops that are ready to sell, but this does not necessarilymean that it is time to plant. So if you are buying plants early, please ensure you are taking the proper measures to protect them from the low night time temperatures.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
