New Skill level achieved.
Yesterday Steve attended a grafting class at Nash Nurseries in Owosso. This was his first Apple tree graft from the class. It is a Kingston Black apple scion on an MM111 rootstock that ended up being 9" tall. They had a wide selection of scions to choose from, but not of Northern Spys; his preferred variety. He landed on this variety, which is a bittersharp cider apple from England. He did find out that it is a more challenging tree to maintain. Nonetheless, with luck this will be part of next year's addition to the orchard. He did enjoy hearing about people's amazing monster trees...the ones with 52 to 100+ apple varieties on one full size tree. That seems like a lifetime achievement tree. He got a new goal, too.

Spring is in full swing on the farm! We did a big coop cleanout, have been keeping a close eye on the fruit trees, planted seedlings in the garage, and started planting our raised beds. It's a busy and challenging time of year on the farm, but a fun one!

If you haven't noticed, oil prices are skyrocketing. This increase in costs will undoubtedly raise food prices in stores soon. Here's a recommendation...
Plant a garden.
It's one small thing you can do. Many local libraries have seed banks that allow you to get free seed when you need it and to share when you have an abundance. It appears that life will be more expensive, so find ways now to protect yourself and your family later.

We hope everyone is keeping warm. Here on the farm, it has been bitterly cold. Inside the house though, it’s the time when we choose varieties to plant for the year ahead. I’m definitely under a blanket while I plan!
We still have plenty of Jams, Mulberry Syrup, Pickled Pink Beets, and Salsa Verde for sale. If you are interested, let us know and we can deliver them.
