Spring Equinox Coming Soon- - Arugula's Star Farm On-line Store Items
Hopefully ever one is anticipating the Spring Equinox that will be occurring this coming Saturday at 1 pm. We have sensed it's near arrival by the re-awakening and greening of the fall cover crops and by the emerging tree buds. The French Sorrel has also started to make its way out of the ground, along with the Belle Isle Cress, and the first green leaves of the strawberry plants!
As to create a staring point this year for a couple of our Farm’s long term goals, in the categories of creating Hands-On Agrarian Intern Programs & The Sharecroppers Exchange, we have been most fortunate to be able to have our first two full time live-on interns here at Arugula’s Star Farm. Max Butler and Stephen McDonald are now one in the same with all the happenings, cycles, growing, infrastructure projects, gathering, caring, sustenance, stewardship, and learning, and we are very excited for us all in this new undertaking!
Here lately we have been working on the management and rejuvenation of all the perennial fruit crops, like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and gooseberries & the asparagus that we started last year in 2009. We will be expecting the first great gatherings of the strawberries and the asparagus this year. These will be two if the first crop offerings we will have for the 2010 season and these are wonderful organic foods to look forward to on the on-line store.
The March 5th Tennessee Organic Growers Association (TOGA) Farm Tour day turned out very nicely, as the weather was perfect for an enlightening farm tour. We would like to thank all that were able to participate. The next Farm Tour and Educational opportunity will be coming up on Saturday March 27th, so to learn more about this please see our Event Calendar and click on USN Scholorship Fundraising Evening Classes.
The items in the on-line store are the same as last week and to order please click here to go to the Arugula’s Star Farm On-line Store. If you have not tried our Golden Eggs yet, please have a try and order early, as we sold out last week.
Thanks,
From all of us here at Arugula's Star Farm.....even the chickies too!
