Wintertime surely isnt downtime.

We are working hard to diversify and fine tune what we have growing. This involves reviewing years past process and making adjustments to them for future seasons. We are growing crops year round in the high tunnel greenhouse and working on blueberry plots. Grafting and planting is the focus this spring in the orchard. scion collection starts in January and grafting will take place in March. this is a delicate process. This will give us the best placement and varieties that are adapted for the Appalachian inner plateau in which we operate. We are expanding varieties and rootstocks this year in hopes to raise production in successive years in the orchard. We have had good success with dwarf and semi-dwarfing rootstocks.
Maintenance is huge in the winter and focus on that as well. Equipment always begs for attention, no matter its age. We usually have beef for sale in the freezer, if you are looking for that, feel free to drop a line.
