Stopping mosquitoes before they hatch
|
Ahhh, spring is here! The deck and patio furniture are set up, the grill is ready to fire, and the garden’s perennials are waking from their winter slumber. As I’m basking in warm sunshine, listening to songbirds, and planning my next spring cleanup task, I hear that dreaded sound that ruins even the most tranquil outdoor moment: the buzzzzzzz of a blood-sucking mosquito!

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.
