It’s April!
We can’t complain too much about April’s frosty start knowing that it will not be that way for too long. We also have the pleasure of working in a warm greenhouse packed with vibrant green seedlings that fill the air with moisture and oxygen.
In other unheated greenhouses, greens are almost ready to pick. Find our fresh bunched cilantro, arugula, dill, beet greens and mizuna soon at Hunger Mt. Co-op in Montpelier. How delicious to eat Spring greens!
Plant Sales are getting closer- beginning May 1st you’ll be able to order seedlings ONLINE for curbside pickup May 7, 14, 21, 28, and June 4. And we’ll be open for in-person sales at Cate Farm Saturdays May 8, 15, 22, 29, and June 5. Please visit www.catefarm.com for the latest info.
How time flies, Cate Farm is celebrating 40 years of farming! Thanks to everyone for your support over the years. That means someone must be getting on in years:) Check out a young Richard on his pedal powered invention to pick cucumbers from the 1980s, it even got featured in The Whole Earth Catalog. Cate Farm used to grow an acre of pickling cukes for processing back in the day; that’s a lot of cucumbers!
Enjoy the Spring weather
