WHATS GOING ON AT THE FARM

It's asparagus season and where harvesting daily!

We used our new planter for the first time!

We planted thousands of onions!

We had to irrigate vulnerable crops before the rains came!

We planted no-till sweet corn!

We're moving lots and lots of spring onions!

We planted lettuce and brassicas as far as the eyes can see!

Our office cubicle is looking fine!

These are the spring onions we've been talking about!

Our fresh bunching onions are nothing short of amazing!

Witnessed another gorgeous Hatfield sunset!

Sweet corn popped and we're getting excited... knee high by the 4th of July, we shall see!
