We made it back from our trip to Honduras. Juvencio was able to spend three weeks with his father helping his brother and sister-in-law take care of him at night. During the day his father is very sharp and like himself, but the nights are difficult. We were happy to be able to spend quality time with him and the family and that cannot be replaced. Life at the farm has held steady. The animals did well, no goats delivered despite that being our biggest worry. The vegetable starts, tomatoes and peppers and everything was kept watered and protected from cold by Kody and Courtney and some of our family members taking turns over the past three weeks. We are back working to transplant all of the spring crops. The weeds flourished while we were gone and thus we are weeding to get ready for the regular season.
This is the second to last harvest for the winter season. March 27th will be our last winter pick up. We will then have a two week break before the regular season begins. We have lots of greens for you to enjoy and my second attempt at sunflower sprouts I hope you enjoy them.
Although Covid restrictions have been reduced state wide we at La Finquita will continue to ask you to wear masks when you come to our farm. Thank you for continuing to care about your fellow subscribers and farmers and for keeping spirits high.
