Annie and Kristoffer are at Troy Waterfront Farmers Market today 9-2 today, specials today on spearmint and scented geraniums, plus a little peak at our next crop of Širvinta wheat, growing happily in "the round field," hopefully ready for harvest in the second week of July.

Looking back at some scenes from our season from February to March.
We had a decent season and were glad to be back to it following 2 years skipped. By the numbers, we had 102 taps, gathered 1,094 gallons of sap, and boiled it down to 23 gallons of finished syrup. As always, it's a collaborative effort with some specializations: Matthew artfully tended the wood-fired arch, Kristoffer managed sap gathering, and Annie does final filtering and bottlings throughout the year.
You can purchase our syrup at the farm by appointment, monthly beginning in June, and through our website, hickorywindfarm.net

Spring is bringing all sorts of growth and plantings thus far. Oats seeding is well underway, with one of two 1.5 acre plots seeded with our 1950's case grain drill, and germinating nicely. A second plot is disced and awaiting final prep once the field dries back out from today's rain. Annie has had a stellar flush of blooming daffodils in the home gardens, directly outside our kitchen window, and we have been planting a copious number of apple and Native dogwood trees around the farmstead. Matthew has also meticulously tended the evaporator through to the successful close of another maple sugaring season, photos from which will be posted in the next few days.
