CSA Farmers Market:  Growing Season Update May 28, 2015



White Pine Farm Tomato Plants (taken May 28)

White Pine Farm Cows (taken May 28)the pile in front of the fence is garden compost.

The tomato plants have been growing nicely this year in the hoop house. The ants think of kale as their own personnel playground or they are hunting for aphids to milk, they will protect the aphids from any aphid natural predator as the aphids provide the ants with a food source. Dale set ant many traps out, hopefully between that and the Diatomaceous Earth we will get them under control, that should give the natural predators a chance to control the aphids.

The cattle are happy feeding in the lush pasture; they were actually frolicking and running to the fence because sometimes they get garden scraps. Next fall expect to see some of White Pine Farm beef for sale on the website.

Until Next Time

MARKET NEWS

*We have the opportunity to get fresh frozen Sockeye salmon which is the best of all salmon as a pre-buy in June. This salmon is picked out of the nets of the Alaskan fishing boats before they are put in the holding area below deck and they take these salmon straight to the processor who filet them and flash freeze them! They are shipped to Georgia and all this happens within 2 days! You cannot get fresher than that!

If you are interested in buying salmon which is only available during their season in end of June and month of July. The word is that packages will be about 8 ounces to a pound and sell between $16 to $18 a pound. They will know more as it gets closer. I have a list of those already interested! If you are interested in participing in the pre-buy, please email me at grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com! This is through one of our Growers!_
