We figured it out!!

What? Lando just figured out how to update blogs! Time to start keeping you all entertained.

sweet winter greens and their fledgling counterparts

Braved a wily winter! Now, graced with a suspiciously pleasant February, we are wholeheartedly gearing up for spring with all manner of greenhouse seeding and field prep.

We are transitioning from...




blanketed hullos,







a snug cob kitchen,







and ever-classy machinery




to...




younguns revving up,







tending the crowds,







farm errands about town,







cutting slips for the field,





and spending quality time with the ladies and gents.

Hope y'all are well. Our growing season is beginning to take shape and we've got solid plans, including a 2011 CSA and a new farmer's market!

For now you can find us at Wednesday's Main St. Farmer's Market from 4pm to 5pm. See you there!

The dog days

It's extremely hot out here and we've all been trying to keep up the moral. The summer food is pouring out of the garden. We harvested 30 pounds of basil this week, over a hundred fifty pounds of sungolds, and the tomatoes are starting to come on strong!!! The lambs are growing rapidly and we have a crew of pups protecting them. We have indian runner ducks now who lay delicious tasting eggs. There is a video of them on you tube that is pretty wonderful. The island has undergone many changes and continues to grow into a lovely place. More and more folks are coming out to volunteer, we have four interns this year, and Noah, Kelsey, and Ashley are still holding up the farm.

Well it's been a while since any of us have written on here. We have a new website www.williamsislandfarm.com that has some wonderful pictures and lots of information on the farm. Check it out. More to come.

WE LOVE BLOCK 3

Our summer garden has proven to be so bountiful and a source of so much happiness. 
Below Katie(our beloved intern) and Beth)one of 
the wonderful newcomers to the farm crew) are carrying honeydews and cantaloupes which we've been harvesting each day by the dozens. Oh and lots of delicious watermelons. 

Summer's Bounty

As the summer's bounty flows in I've been busy in the kitchen preserving anything and everything I can. I feel like a squirrel busily storing up for the winter months so my family can have yummy food all winter. It's also been wonderful having such great helpers(when they're around). There's nothing like sitting around a table with a bunch of women chopping veggies to put a big smile on my face. I recommend partaking in some preserving with people close to you. If anyone has any mason jars laying aroundI will happily take them from you and trade a jar of something tasty from my kitchen. Thanks all for your support in our endeavor. Hope everyone's eating lots of delicious food this summer. Thanks Ashley

Summer's Here

Well summer certainly is here and we are busier then ever and enjoying every bit of it. It's been so exciting eating the first tomatoes, cucumbers, pattypans, potatoes, garlic, mmmmm the list goes on. We've been attending the Wed. Farmers Market on Main Street and been real happy with the growing number of folks attending and supporting the farmers each week. We've got three interns helping us out during the week, a couple work shares once a week, some wonderful newcomers, and a good bit of volunteers. The sheep are happy and the chickens too although they both would prefer some cooler weather. Thanks everyone for your support. The farm wouldn't exist without this wonderful community.
