One side of the driveway is plowed and it only took 2 hours.

It's January and we have healthy, crisp salad greens! What a great way to start off the new year.
It's so magical!

Day 10 in the vertical wall.
Greetings everyone. Welcome to our adventures in Hydroponics!
Our first growing trial of radishes has failed because the ph sensors weren't working properly, therefore kept adding ph nutrients that the plants didn't need.
The company is sending new sensors because our unit is under warranty. Until then, Travis will manually test the ph in the water and if it needs adjusting, the computer system can dose what's needed.
Boy am I glad Travis understands all this stuff! He is planting Salad in the panels today, so wish us luck!🤞We are still learning.

This is part two of transferring salad plants to their final phase of growing in the hydroponics unit, and you get to see what that looks like.

This is part one of moving the salad plants to the foam inserts where they will be snug and finish their growing process.

Greetings!
I know this short video is not much to look at, but I wanted to share how the hydroponics unit sounds when it's up and running. I feared it would be loud and obnoxious but the wind is louder, haha!
Anyway, enjoy this beautiful day and I will share another update soon.

Joe Joe may have trotted away from me when I came at him with a brush in hand,🪮🧽🫧🧴but he still has good form.😂
Hey friends!
Here is a little glimpse at what's been going down at the farm.😁
Lots of mud and digging happening but we're moving right along.
I can't wait to start planting in the new unit! Fingers crossed that we can start this week.🤞🙏👊
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Hello everyone!
I made a quick update about the hydroponics unit.
Have a great day and happy Halloween!🎃
Today on the farm, Travis completed his final haul of produce from the plot in Odell, for this year, woop woop! And he ran the tractor through our field to clean up manure. Now we can turn our focus onto hydroponics and fancifying up our unit.
Willow had her first dose of medicated powder for gastric ulcers in her bowl of feed this a.m. and I pray her appetite will improve.🙏🙏🙏
I just gave her the arthritis injection, along with a handful of treats, and it was nice to see her get a little spunky and playful afterward.😍
Thank you to my husband for meeting the many financial needs of the animals entrusted in our care. I have never known a harder worker or more dedicated soul.💚
Now if only I could get him to help me groom the horses.... 🤪😂
I am still very worried about Willow and am hoping to bring back the treat station to the public by spring. She is really missing her visitors because she always looked so forward to greeting them and being adored. As it should be.😆🩵
We will continue our work and keep our beloved community in the loop! Ta ta for now and have a beautiful day!

Hello everyone, Amy here!
Here is a video I made from my personal page to share with others what the inside of our new hydroponics unit looks like and a bit more about how it works.
Feel free to look us up at 3cornersfarm.com if you're interested in reading the latest blogs as well.
Sorry this video is a bit glitchy whenever I changed my camera view, and there was the wind and Pearl... Ah, Pearl.😆
But we're honored to share our healthy produce and journey with our surrounding communities, so stay tuned for more learning with us as we go along.
Muuaaahhh!

Walk-in is full with about 300 pounds of salad mix and other greens. By the end of today it will be empty so I can fill it again.
Planted 1000 corn seeds today.
