Dropstone Farms

Dear person who found us by searching for “double digging” overrated,

It isn’t. It is only unfeasible if your plot is too big to double-dig in one day or one weekend. In that case, evaluate whether you can have some friends and their shovels over to help, or just double-dig the planting areas and skip the paths. Double-digging is good.

Dear people who found us by searching for broccoli plant; broccoli plants; broccoli farm; broccoli plant sprouts; etc.,

What is it that you are looking for? We get a lot of you! Did I take a particularly nice broccoli picture or something?

Dear people who found us by searching for zucchini blossom end rot photos or similar,

Zucchini blossom end rot is a bummer. Try adding dolomite lime to your soil. But as you can see, you probably can still get enough zucchini to meet your needs.

Dear people who found us by searching for variations on Monsanto owns Territorial Seed,

I assume you found what you are looking for, but rest assured it isn’t true.

Dear people who found us by searching for halibut with broccoli and brown rice,

Yum!

Dear people who found us by searching for pullet bald butts, bald polish chicken (poor critter!), bald chicken butts, etc.,

We never did figure out why all their butt fluff was gone, but we got rid of our drake (male duck), and they seem to be regrowing — at least, they aren’t getting worse. Do you have any dudes around who might be unkind to your ladies?

Dear people who found us by searching for no farms no food,

Right on. You can get a bumper sticker like ours from the American Farmland Trust.

Extra bonus question:

Dear people who read the duckling post in Dutch via Google Translator,

Who are you?? How did you find us?? Do I know you?

Love, Lauren & Garth

We posted on the day, but didn’t realize it was the blog’s first anniversary on March 10. Thanks, Garth, for kicking this off, otherwise we would have agonized over it forever.

Recently we also had our 100th post (if I counted correctly).

And, wonder of wonders, I finally caved and got a Twitter account for the farm. Only 7 updates so far, but Garth figured out how to do it, so beware of snark.
