We are in our 4th week of the Woodlands Farmers Market. Come by and see us on Saturdays between 8 am and Noon. It is located in the  Grogan’s Mill shopping center in the Woodlands. We have a lot of fun meeting new people and selling quality veggies. There are about 14 vendors usually there with 3-4 selling produce. There are  folks selling Orchids, Soap, Jewelry, Dog Treats and several items.

We would like to thank Mike Atkinson for the tour of his great farm. Mike’s farm is Atkinson Farms on Spring Cypress in Spring. He grows commercially for Grocers and Markets. He has his own fruit and vegatable stand on his farm open to the public . Mike grows all his veggies the conventional way.

We were able to get some great ideas on planting and irrigation that we can use on our farm that do not require commercial fertilizers or pesticides. We learned a lot about the different pests we are facing and have been able to research organic means to control them. 

CSA is going well, we are going into the 6th week. We have heard some great comments on the quality of the veggies in the basket. We will soon have tomatoes, cucumber, beans, okra, corn and lot of other new veggies for the market and the CSA baskets. Fruit coming blackberries, blueberries and maybe some peaches or plums.

Hope to see you at the market!

It’s true!!! I’m not getting any younger. Every inch of my body aches after working in the field. Farm work has gotten the best of me. It’s time to recruit some new help. I’m extremely proud of my new little recruits. Yes, the bees arrived at the farm Friday night before the awful Saturday stormy weather. They have settled in and are doing just fine. I find myself hypnotized by their every move. Man do they stay busy. Oh, this would be a good time to plug my new outdoor T.V. programming guide. Last week it was the Bovine channel. Today it’s the Apiary channel. These amazing little creatures will do wonders for our farm.   

It’s that time of day again. We load up the family and head down the road a piece for some afternoon entertainment. No, you won’t find it listed in any T.V. guide. It’s better than any show. Yep, it’s time to feed our –  oops our neighbor’s calves.  These little guys are a hoot to watch. They see us and the race is on.  It’s range cube time! These little guys are crazy for them. Dusti has her favorite calf. It’s #8. I think the feeling is mutual. There’s something special between them. Feeding time ends  and it’s time to go home. We bid them good by and good night. We hold the promise for tomorrow to be back here, same time, same place with NO COMMERCIALS and I promise you no RERUNS.   Now if we can only teach these little guys to sit!
