Sorry we have not posted in quite some time, but we've been very busy. Between a period of excessive rain followed by a period of excessive drought it's been quite the challenge.
As the celebration of Independence is around the corner, we are finally beginning to see the fruits of our labor here at Harper Farms . Several heirloom tomatoes are finally beginning to take shape, our corn is coming in nicely and of course sunflowers everywhere because sunflowers!!!
We were gifted about 75 lb of apples which we turned into apple juice applesauce and canned apples on our new outdoor propane burners which keep the heat out of the house.
Every year is different. We've watched conditions the last 3 years and I think as a result we are going to try again with potatoes next year. Seems changes are giving us prolonged springs which should allow us.
Never be discouraged by challenges. Learn adapt and grow. Our ancestors taught us this all we have to do is listen.
