Spring at Barberry Hill Farm





The winter was hard on Barberry hill Farm. One of our greenhouses that was destroyed by the winter snow is now finally back up and running. When presented with lemons, why not make lemonade.







Have a lovely Spring, greetings from Barberry Hill Farm.

Seeding and CSA/Farm Share 2013 Enrollment

This is the time of year when our 2013 season begins.  We look ahead to the growing months, study the copious notes of past years, and try to select and purchase the right combination of seeds and supplies.  Some seeds are relatively inexpensive, some heirloom varieties are surprisingly expensive, and a few needed seeds are difficult to find at any price.

This activity, both exciting and even nerve-wracking, is one reason we appreciate so much those people who sign up early for the 2013 CSA/Farm Share.  As is the model of Community Supported Agriculture/ Farm Share, early funds go into purchases such as these, that will help ensure the best possible quality and quantity of crops come  June, July, and beyond. 

Of the many varieties of tomatoes that we grow, most are heirloom tomatoes.  We have been growing heirloom varieties, both in the field and in the greenhouses for well over two decades.  We are always experimenting with varieties and saving seeds from years past.  We now have our own variety, which we have crossbred over many years.  These tomatoes will be available in our farm share as well as at market. 
For those who are interested in signing up for our 2013 CSA/Farm Share, or for more information, contact us at csa@barberryhillfarm.com.

Awaiting A New Arrival


Julia and Arne, our WWOOFers from Cologne, Germany, have been hoping that Mabel (our Jersey heifer) would give birth a little ahead of schedule.   Mabel is due February 4, but you never know about timing with this sort of thing and much to everyone's dismay, Julia and Arne are returning home before the scheduled date of birth.  To say that all of us here are anxious about the new arrival would be an understatement.

There is no weather extreme enough to keep Julia away from spending time with all the two (and four) legged friends.

The hay rake waits for warmer days.

Not everyone enjoys a frolic in the snow.



They may be off to Germany, but stay tuned for upcoming posts on German comfort food (perfect for a winters night) and other projects that include Julia and Arne.  And, of course, we will keep you posted on the status of Mabel's upcoming delivery.

Auld Lang Syne...welcome 2013!



Lord Thomas and fair Annet
Sat all day on a hill

When night was come and sun was set
They had not talked their fill.
