Where ARE We?

Yes, I know I've been awful quiet here lately. Lots going on, though.


Partly we are transitioning to other internet venues. Pinwheel Farm (that's right, NO "s") is now on facebook; it would be really helpful if you could let me know you're a blog reader when you make a request to be a friend.


We are also on the verge of having a web site, TBA very soon I hope. We'll keep a lot of our policies, directions to the farm, etc. there, as well as (eventually) lists of what's available and how to get it from us.


Spring is suddenly here, we got the roof mostly on the west end of the barn, shearing (March 20, 10:00 a.m.) and lambing will be here before we know it, Farmer's Market Pre-Season opens April 10; things are really growing in the high tunnel...such abundance!


We are especially impressed with how well the salad greens came through the winter under the row covers. Lettuce is looking great, and there's tatsoi, mizuna, arugula, etc. still thriving. A few sunny weeks and we'll be harvesting again!


Spring plans include a new washhouse facility, a walk-in cooler, rearranging some sheds (I mean moving the buildings, not just the content), massive garden expansion planned this season so we can supply even more veggies to Lawrence Memorial Hospital than last year....


We're looking forward to seeing all our friends again, whether at the farm for purchases or volunteering, or at Farmer's Market. See you soon!

I searched FB, and couldn't find Pinwheel Farm - strange.... I will keep trying. In the meantime, in FB I"m "Anne Catlady". (just in case you can find me first)

BC hugs...

I can't find you on FB, either! You can find me there under this email address: allykatis@gmail.com.

More BC hugs!!

Funny language quirk, you two! For Catlady and me, "BC hugs" denotes "Border Collie" style enthusiasm in our greetings...based on our beloved dogs.

For Wandering Coyote, "BC hugs" means hugs from British Columbia!

Coyote, facebook couldn't find your email?????
