It is a most wonderful time of year. If you are a Market Gardener we think anyway.

This past weekend we placed our first seed order for the 2021 growing season and we couldn't be more excited and anxious about it.

We spent the end of 2020 crop planning for our new property. It will be our first year on this property so there are so many unknowns and many tasks ahead of us.

Over the next two months we will be building a dedicated nursery to care and tend for all our little seedlings. It is our belief that as Northern growers, we must strive to start all our crops from seed to do our part to strengthen our regional food system.

We finally harvested honey from the frames we pull

We finally harvested honey from the frames we pulled in the fall over 4 months ago.

Beekeeping has been great fun, but also very challenging. Our short foraging season, limited foraging sources, and our long winters, are only parts of the challenge.

One thing we should be doing more diligently is testing and treating for disease. Overlooking bee diseases is mostly due to inexperience, and being very busy building other parts of Bush Order (the parts that pay the bills 😄).

We have made the decision that if our current bees do not survive the winter, we’ll be taking a break from beekeeping for the purposes of honey production and keeping one hive for pollination only while we establish the bakery and market garden. We’ll try again when the time is right.

Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and shared our excitement since day 1. Cross your fingers for the girls braving the cold.
