Dear Friendly Farmer,
I sent my husband to the local pet store to get some dog food in Mid-March and he came home with six fluffy and adorable baby chicks. We thought they were all hens, but one has started to crow! How do I find a new home for this rooster before my neighbors want to kill me? Help!

The Garlic Farm: Moving forward, while looking back
|
More than three decades ago, long before the term organic entered the popular lexicon, The Garlic Farm opened in West Granby. Over the years it transformed from a small weekend farm stand to a full-time operation offering dozens of vegetables as well as a community share program.

Make your property pollinator friendly throughout the seasons

Last month we explained why it is important to select a range of native flowers that have pollen and nectar available from late March until November. The April issue had suggestions for early and mid-spring. This issue continues with ideas through autumn.

May hikes can bring renewal—and dinner

Ah, May—the month of renewal. The spring season advances and every new dawn feels like a re-awakening of life. Wildflowers are part of the rhythm of the seasons, each species with its own bloom time.

I recently moved to a town with many more farms than we’ve ever lived near before. I’m used to shopping in the grocery store and usually look for organic when I can afford it. Now I’ll be looking for farmer’s markets or farm stores to shop in during the growing season, but I’m nervous. How do I go about finding these places? Will they have all the stuff I need?
