ANNOUNCING THE FALL/WINTER SHARE!

Hannah and I are super excited to announce our fall/winter CSA share. This will run for 15 weeks, starting in mid-October and ending in February (with a break for Christmas, of course).For the moment, this will only be available in Frankfort, Versailles, and Lawrenceburg.But can I talk about how much we love the fall share for a minute? I'm gonna.We love the fall share! It is, as farmers and foodies, our favorite time in the garden. There will be loads of storage crops like butternut squash, acorn squash, garlic and the best dang sweet potatoes you've ever had! Also, lots of greens, green onions, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and many other Fall goodies. And of course, we will be delivering all these organic veggies straight to your door.If you are interested please let us know ASAP as space is limited. You can send us an email at roughdraftfarmstead@gmail.com, or call (502) 598 - 8288. Once we have you on our list, you will receive an information packet about the CSA and details about delivery.The price is $350 for the 15 weeks.This boils down to an average of $23.33/wk, so slightly less expensive than the summer, if you're looking to try the CSA in but are intimidated by the summer share.If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! We can take payments in person, by check, or online HERE.Spinach, carrots and beets are already starting to germinate in the fields, y’all. Get ready! Hope to see you this fall!Jesse and Hannah.

MESSY MONDAY.

It has been awhile since we've done one of these posts...and February on the farm is definitely the perfect time! All of the rain, the freezing and thawing and snow - it makes for a whole lotta MUD. I mean, really muddy - like several inches thick mud that slorps and sucks your boots with every step. Plus, all of the vegetation is dead and brown, which makes every random tool, forgotten watering can or bit of garbage stand out. Basically - its ugly and messy this time of year. Just keeping it real.BUT, we are sowing seeds and organizing the greenhouse, knowing that soon enough we won't be able to keep the growth from consuming everything. The mess will be forgotten under the green until next winter.-Hannah.    

LET THEM EAT DIRT.

It was a rare warm day a few weeks back, and Further had been cooped up inside our tiny cabin for days and days. I was going a bit stircrazy myself, and lamented to Jesse that I wish we had some little toddler rain boots for him so we could go outside. Our farm turns into a muddy disaster during the winter, especially after snow.I was outside washing diapers when Jesse brought Further out and promptly placed him on the ground - no shoes necessary. I felt like smacking myself on the forehead - D'OH! Further had a blast and I was reminded of the importance of letting go of control and embracing the mess - it was so easy to clean him up afterwards and I simply washed his onesie in my last load of diapers before the mud was even dry.   Today, we're back to snow and rain and cold, but I am looking forward to warmer days ahead and more happy, dirty feet to clean.BUT AS A SIDE NOTE - where do y'all find little tiny rain boots??-Hannah.

SNOW DAYS.

We made a little video of our walk in the snow a few days ago at the farm. Currently, we are visiting the grandparents in Versailles for the weekend and are expecting up to TWO FEET of snow! Stay warm, Kentucky.
