The 2015 Growing Season has Begun

Posted by edfadmin on January 29, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Attending the NOFA conference for me always signifies the beginning of the growing season. While no seeds have been planted yet the conference gets me thinking about seeds, soil and our planting schedules. The conference lasts three days in Saratoga Springs and always contains a great amount of knowledge. This year I listened to different presenters […]

The pumpkins and gourds are being harvested for the Fall season and are available for purchase in our Farm Store. I can remember a time back in 2009 or 2010 when I could not get a pumpkin to grow at East Durham Farms. We seem to have solved that issue over the past two growing […]

Plow in the ground

Posted by edfadmin on May 14, 2014 · Leave a Comment

On May 12, 2014 we put a plow into the ground here at East Durham Farms. While I had plowed two weeks earlier to plant potatoes, it was a much smaller area. Here I am plowing under a Fall planting of winter wheat. It grew about 6 inches this Spring and I think anything is […]

Spring Piglets

This was the first day that we opened the barn door and allowed the Tamworth piglets to enjoy the sunshine. In this photo they are about 3 weeks old and we felt they needed the Vitamin D more than protection from the cold winds. That was about two weeks ago and now they currently have […]

I don’t want anyone to think that we have not been busy through the late Winter here at East Durham Farms. One think no farm lacks is a tremendous amount of work. We have begun to start our seeds inside in a warm place. They will then get rotated from the house to a heated […]

One Conference I look forward to every winter is the NOFA-NY conference. I have been attending now for three years and every year seems to get better and better. Well I will admit two years ago Michael Phillips of the Organic Orcahrdist fame gave a whole day lecture on apple trees and that still remains […]

Cleaning up for the year

Posted by edfadmin on October 23, 2013 · 2 Comments

The lack of a serious frost until this week allowed us to leave crops in the ground much longer this year. These Waltham Butternut squash would not have been harmed by the frost but many other things such as tomatoes and pumpkins would have been damaged. Nonetheless, we finished cleaning up the main gardens the […]
