Spring Update from Saving Face Farm: Strawberry Fields and Chilly Nights

Spring has officially arrived at Saving Face Farm, bringing longer days and warmer afternoons. However, the weather has been less cooperative, with chilly nights causing us to stay on alert. Temperatures are expected to drop into the 30s over the next few nights, so we’re busy covering our tender transplants to keep them warm and safe.

A New Strawberry Field

This season, we’re thrilled to announce the addition of our new strawberry field! We recently planted 500 strawberry plants on the farm. About 250 of these are already in the ground, with the remaining plants scheduled for planting once this cold front passes.

Strawberries are resilient, but I must admit—I prefer to farm under sunny skies. The anticipation surrounding our strawberry plants is exhilarating. Each week, as we cultivate our orchard and berry fields, we watch our dreams of farm expansion unfold.

What’s Growing for Our CSA Members

For our fantastic CSA members, we want to share what’s currently sprouting in the fields:

• Zucchini, corn, arugula, beets, and rutabaga have taken root, signaling that our hard work is yielding fruit as we delve deeper into spring.

• Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash are not only surviving but thriving, growing taller and stronger with each passing day. This growth reminds us of nature’s incredible resilience.

  
  

Our farming journey is about more than just crops; it’s a commitment to nurturing a sustainable ecosystem that benefits everyone in our community.
