A Note from Farmer Frank
Well, we got off to a slow start with all the weather ups . . . and downs. You probably forgot about the snow we had the middle of May. It was a huge concern because all my fruit trees were in bloom. Fortunately, the temperatures were right around 30 degrees when it snowed, and it wasn't below freezing for more than 24 hours. Most of the trees were spared. Some of the varieties of apricots and plums didn't make it, but there are varieties that did well through the two snows we had while they were in bloom. Then came tha hail and the 60 to 80 mile per hour winds. My greenhouse and hoop house managed to escape with minor damage.
Hopefully all that is behind us now and we can move froward. With the help of some great volunteers, I finally got some plants and seeds in the ground. Most everything has germinated and I finally got the tomatoes and peppers in the ground. Of course the grass and weeds are competing for space, and it is a challange to try to keep up with them, and not allow them to take over the newly germinated seedlings that are trying to establish their own space.
The Lafayette Farmer's market opened on Thursday, May 22nd. I don't have any food to sell there yet, but I do bring starter plants to sell. Farmer's market hours are on Thursdays from 4 to 8:00 pm. The Louisville Farmer's Market opened on Saturday, June 5th. Hours there are from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. If you are not in the CSA program and you want some great, fresh, organic vegetables, come out to one of the markets. See you soon. Peace and blessings . .

I want to thank all of the volunteers for the hours they gave to me and the farm to help make it a successful year. I'm looking forward to another great year of working with you and growing local food for you.
