Now Booking!

You know, when you start a business, you never know how it will take off......will people like my idea, will they respond in a positive way, was this really a good idea? So far, all I can say.....wow!  Yes, people seem to like the farm and the barn venue! I have been booking almost every weekend and feed back is positive. We've hosted birthdays for ages 4 to 60 (with a 70th coming in May) and have had the best time! Today, even in the pouring rain, we had 60 people in the barn, warm and cozy, friendly and festive!

Coming up the weekend of April 2-3, we will be testing the waters of an indoor flea market- antiques, vintage items, modern clothes, jewelry from all eras, so stop by and shop! If it goes well we will be doing it on a regular basis.

Summer in the Winter

The weather has been glorious here in Santa Barbara, much better than our Summer!
I am itching to get out and do some planting, but since it's still a long way off to spring, I can't get ahead of myself. I did get some bare roots this week to plant- a cherry tree, pink lady apple and a persimmon as well as  potatoes,  asparagus, onions, garlic, and rhubarb.
Mother Nature has a way of playing these little games with us, teasing us into submission and then sending us reeling head first into one storm after another, so we must proceed with caution when planting. Tender shoots can easily be killed off by a drenching of rain or parched by hot sun.

We shall see what the coming weeks bring, for now, we will enjoy the beautiful sunshine!
