Spring at the farm!

by Stephen Brown on April 28, 2012

 Spring 2012 is blanketing the farm with DANDELIONS! We LOVE dandelions and have just started our 2012 vintage Dandelion Wine. This is the earliest we have ever picked dandelion flowers-- at least 2 weeks earlier than normal.  Yes, we all love warm Spring weather much earlier than usual, but I am afraid that there will be consequences. Also-- we have a fabulous bloom this year on the blueberries, but NO BEES yet ! So, like last year,  we may not have a harvest. It is very much time to be concerned, and I believe that we must begin thinking about a survival plan for "the times ahead". Do others feel this too? Join the conversation, please.
