march2018 plowing
First seeds of 2019 in the ground. We committed.
Dear beloved customers, we are working on having some pea shoots and salad mix for the first market! Step one: shovel snow to get the BCS out. 💚
Bending pipes for low tunnels! 200 done ✅
Mise en place 👏 Preppin sandbags for some early crop low tunnels, once the snow is gone...
New year, new tools 🧰
Artichokes anyone? The farm is still covered in snow but we can dream about summer! Here’s to the first seeding of the 2019 season! 🥂 ☀️ 🌱
Had a great visit with our farmer friends in Halfway, Oregon this weekend, where we got to see their new horse drawn farmers market cart, pet baby horses, check out a new hemp shucker, ride a sled, work on our potato digger and meet some rad new young farmers in the Pine Valley at Hedge Rose Farm. Winter is time for energizing and inspiring 💪 and fixing equipment 🤓
Repost • @skylineprintworks Day 5 of #marchmeetthemaker is “detail or closeup”! This photo shows the line work of one of my favorite projects to date, a logo for the amazing folks at @hayshakerfarm in Walla Walla. One of my favorite things about printmaking is achieving fine detail in my carving. It’s so tedious but so rewarding! • • • • • • #printmaking #closeup #detail #linocut #reliefprint #linoprint #blockprint #printspotters #printisntdead #instaprints #inkonblock #workinprogress #process #carving #printmakersofinstagram #get_imprinted #pnwonderland #pnwcreatives #northwestartist #organicfarming #bellinghamart
February broke the record with 2 feet of snow in Walla Walla, and was the third coldest February on record at an average 28.2F ❄️ on the farm, we are often slightly cooler than official measurements.
Not much color in our photos lately, and more snow in the forecast for tonight. Hard to believe spring is coming. But we still have plenty of carrots, potatoes and butternut squash all for sale at Walla Walla Harvest Foods. Hopefully we will find more leeks and celery root when the snow melts.
Back at it, clearing the driveway! ❄️
Still winter ❄️
