Preparing for spring!

It's time to start planning for springtime!  We've started pouring through seed catalogs and making field plans as well as thinking of new ideas for our farm.  We are looking into starting farm tours this spring.  There are a number of people who have already had a chance to wander around our farm and see first hand how our farm operates.  Of course its never just that simple.  So now we get to do the paperwork and since our insurance providers won't cover it, we'll have to start searching for someone who will.  Fun times!  

I've also started to prepare for the summer rush by stocking the shelves.  I freeze berries in summer (when there's no time to work with them) and I make jam in the winter months.  I finally got to making Raspberry Jam, which was the customer favorite this year.  I also made my favorite, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam!  It's amazing how much you can do when the kids go to Grandmas for a sleepover!
