First Planting

Welcome to Grandview Farm!
Our family is so excited to get started with this adventure in growing our own food!
Here is a photo of the newly broken ground at the site where the high tunnels will be placed.

Here Sarah is applying the first dose of lime.

Paul and Ethan tilling the Asparagus bed so that we can get our first veggies in the ground!

We then had to come behind the tractor and pick up rocks, lots of rocks!

If you look closely you'll see the 75 or so asparagus plants happily in their new home. Now we wait... 2 or 3 years, a long time for these little delights!

We then relocated a patch of Rhubarb that was in desperate need of a new home. This rhubarb patch has been relocated several times but came from the original Grandview Farmhouse across the street.

Mark gives them a little drink once in the ground.

A little down time after a hard days work!
