The Promise of Good Things to Come
The strawberry patch at the Lock Farm has been uncovered from its winter protection. The plants and blossoms look great and are the beginnings of a delicious berry crop.
These strawberries will be part of the Lock Farm’s FIELDS TO MEALS program. They may also be available in the farm’s THURSDAY MARKET and ON THE FARM.

Little Pup Looks Over the Tomato Plants
It may be cold, bitter cold outside, but in the high tunnel it is nice and warm. Little Pup likes to pass inspection every now and then. What she really looks for in the high tunnel are the mice that come inside to get warm… she has yet to catch one.
Little Pup Inspects the Onions
Little Pup does not like onions but she thinks a good job was done planting them.
These onions will become part of the Lock Farm’s FTM (our Fields To your Meals) and the Thursday Market.
