Seedlings

We use soil blockers to make small blocks of potting mix in which to sow seeds. These will be transplanted into the field or hoop houses once they are big enough. Here is a bit of the process. These are photos from earlier this season and you will find these veggies and herbs in your CSA box this summer. Here are a couple of videos if you are interested in the process.https://vimeo.com/90676619 and https://vimeo.com/67323501

Soil Blocks

We make soil block to sow seeds into for transplanting out in the field at a later date. No plastic containers to deal with! Here is a video I made earlier this spring.

Green Manure

Tilling in a cover crop of rye, peas and vetch to add nitrogen and organic matter to the soil. The organic matter creates food resources for the soil's micro flora and fauna, in return creating humus in the soil. We build soil in order to produce nutrient dense foods.
