Spring Chickens

Hello, spring chickens!

We just got 8 Barred Rock chicks, that are happily peeping in a box in the living room. Pretty cute. With any luck, most of them will turn out to be hens, and we'll have lots more brown eggs coming about 6 months from now.


We've also been selling tomato seedlings at People and Planet in Morgan Hill. The varieties are Stupice, Amish Paste, and Red Velvet Cherry Tomato. We're planting about 150 tomato plants on our farm (about double last year), but we've still got plenty of seedlings to spare. This year we're growing about 15 heirloom varieties, including the favorites from last summer.
