What a fabulous day to be in Downtown Gaylord! The Farmers Market was incredible as always! Sold out produce way early...much more to come! As always you can get produce, eggs and NEW this year, Berkshire pork by the piece, right at the farm most any day of the week. Give us a call!

We are also proud to announce the arrival of 13 of the cutest baby ducks EVER!

Congrats to Juana, Mable and of course, Bill!

Well Jim's super early potato planting has really started to pay off...went to pick some "baby" creaming potatoes and was blown away with some full size redskins, the plants haven't even flowered yet! Spinach is done for now, swiss chard is picking up speed, shelling peas next week, beautiful romaine lettuce and rhubarb what a great start to the season! See you at the market Saturday am!

No market for us this week!

Just wanted to let everyone know we will not be at the market this week!

If you need eggs you can, as always, come on out to the farm and pick them up.

We also have some fresh spinach, granola and jams available.

This cool weather and abundance of rain will really kick the spring veggies in the rear and get them growing! I keep waiting for those first pea flowers...broccoli, cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce and chard close on their heels.

Stay warm and if possible dry!

Farmers Market begins!

Good Morning!

Hope everyone will be out enjoying the B E A UTIFAL Michigan weather this weekend and hopefully we'll see you at the opening of the Downtown Gaylord Farmers Market on Saturday from 8am-1pm. The Rolling R will be there with some fantastic Spring Jams, Fresh Granola, Fresh eggs, Chives (for the eggs of course) and maybe some Baby Spinach. I'm sure there will be a variety of delicious home baked goods and other Spring fruits and veggies available from the many other farms and vendors!

Despite all the weird weather, I am proud to say the spring crops are looking FANTASTIC! The rhubarb has been plentiful (allowing for some serious jams and marmalades), the spinach is at baby leaf, the pea tendrils are starting to reach out, broccoli and cabbage have been really enjoying the light frosts, carrots are up, swiss chard is off to a slow start but I'm sure they'll catch up, lettuce and beets are thriving! Did I mention the potatoes? First batch: the plants are already 6 inches tall!

We'll be planting sweet corn, sunflowers, beans, oats and the majority of the the rest this week! It is so hard to wait for the first zucchini!

Pictures of the progress will be coming soon!

Off the gardens I go!
