Happy Sunday everyone!

Happy Sunday everyone! Leonard and Yaya here from Twisted Roots Farm. The ladies have been busy laying eggs with all the warm weather and so I decided to bring Yaya up to the farm stand to show her our set up. She seems to like it and is going to tell all of the other ladies about it...you know how the chicken chatter goes in those nest boxes when the hens get a talkin'!

Goat kids ... So much fun. He discovered the chickens today.

The farm stand is getting some much needed improvements for the season. Our goal with this area is to create a food growing demonstration site with raised beds, cold frames and other growing systems that we are using, building and developing here on the farm. Many of these builds are for sale, available by order, milled on site from ethically sourced wood.

Spent yesterday milling up wood on the bandsaw mill and today almost have a cold frame built. This cold frame is based on Eliot Coleman's design from Four Season Harvest. This frame is 4 x 8 feet and will help to get plants started earlier with a plastic lid to keep out frost and warm up the soil. This style sits directly on the ground but can also sit on a raised bed system.

Our bandsaw mill in action. Milling wood on site with trees from the property or locally sourced is building much needed infrastructure. We are building cold frames this week to expand growing areas and start selling secondary wood products made on site from ethically sourced trees. The milling process also provides us with edge board for siding buildings, firewood and sawdust for composting toilets.
