Christmas Update from Foothill Farm

It is a great day at Foothill Farm.  Its cold, but seasonable, with daytime temps in the 30's and lows in the 20's to teens. Our gardens are resting, awaiting the longer days, and warmer temperatures of Spring.  This year new perennial production beds were created.  These areas will yield scores of potted perennials for the farm stand beginning in the Spring of 2012.  There are many winter projects which will need to be accomplished - much of which relates to organization of our spaces for increased production capacity.  In this space in the future we hope to bring you updates of farm activities, items for sale, the trials of setting up a small, highly diversified farm, learning experiences, and more.  Hopefully, as we discover items of interest to good farming and good wholesome food, we will post/link to this information for your perusal.

We also expect to be highlighting the evolving self sufficiency of the community of Chestnut Hill (or the "hill" as we call it), where local farmers and artisans are developing and expanding their local offerings.  Click on the link to the right and become a follower.  Comment if you like.
Stay tuned.
