Farmer's log, from Steamboat Springs in northwest Colorado

Elkstone Farm is a permaculture farm experimenting in using new technology, ideas,and methods to improve upon traditional ways of farming. We strive to push the limits of what we can grow in our unique environment.

Spring has sprung, full force! Most of the snow is melted from the agri-forest, there were ducks on the pond and Sandhill Cranes in the meadow, and a coyote (a big one!) has been spotted a couple of times on the farm. We have potted up the bare root pears that arrived last week, and the currants and gooseberries will be potted up this week.

We've been harvesting and selling (hooray!) to Sweet Pea. It seems to be a good situation so far. We have plenty coming in: beets, broccoli, peas, arugula, chard, greens, are all about ready, with plenty more nearing readiness.
