Getting Ready For Spring

Things are happening at Farm 651. The Farm Store should be habitable by May 1st. The rough plumbing and electrical were completed and drywall is scheduled for next week. Shortly thereafter the tilework and painting will start.

The barn is nearly complete as well. All it needs is a slab poured (after the frost restrictions are lifted), paint, and some stone work on the columns.

As for our farming efforts - approx 100 cherry trees will be replanted in April. The first batch died through a combination of my stupidity and a hungry herd of deer. We will also be planting a 1/2 acre vegetable garden to support my wifes affinity for gourmet salad!

We are taking applications for part time farm labor to assist with the projects listed above. Special thanks to John Bardenhagen Plumbing and FCWI Electric. They did a fantastic job - inspections approved 1st time, everytime.
