Spring Planting and Hatching

5/31/2015

Seeds and weeds aplenty!

Spring is a busy time on the farm, here's a quick summary about what we've been up to:

Prepare the soil for planting
Plant 250 tomato plants, 150 sweet and hot peppers, 50 basil plants
Drive 125 stakes in the ground to support all of the above
Plant ginger, artichokes, corn, cucumbers, squash, beans, dill, watermelons, cantaloupes, celery
Install new drip-line irrigation
Tying up the fast growing tomato plants
Mulch tomatoes
Weed, weed, weed
Run to the chicken house to check on the baby chicks

Here are some pictures documenting our progress

And finally, here is a video of 4 of the baby chicks that have hatched. The first of the chicks hatched on Cinco de Mayo. We have 5 hens sitting on eggs right now so we should have many more soon!

Thanks all y'all!

...for our tomatoes that is!

Bia's Gourmet Hardware Restaurant, located in Asheboro, NC, was one of our first customers. Owner and Chef Bia Rich was asked to be part of a cooking show and she used our tomatoes as part of her dish and mentioned Ozark Akerz as one of the local farms she sources ingredients from! We are honored to get the mention from her and are proud our focus on growing tomatoes with great flavor is getting the recognition it deserves!

See what Chef Bia has to say about our tomatoes on Instagram* and Facebook or click here to view the cooking show and learn how to make homemade raviolli with shiitake mushrooms and cherry tomatoes in cream sauce.
