A quick chat about recent frost events and how a pretty chilly April after a fairly warm winter has affected the pick your own strawberry season here at Yoders' Farm.

In this episode we talk about some things we are considering doing different this year due to the coronavirus. This will likely be a pretty different Pick Your Own strawberry season from what we've been used to in the past, but if you can work with us we'll try to do everything we can to be safe and follow all the proper guidelines.

Lowell and Eldon talk about springs continual arrival, the continued "early" timeline for the pick your own strawberry patch, and several other updates from around the farm. There is also some discussion about how Covid-19 may affect our PYO strawberry season.

In this episode Lowell and I talk a bit about what we've been up to here on the farm the last few weeks and then towards the end of the episode Lowell rants for a bit about some comments from a presidential candidate that recently came to light.

In this episode Lowell and I talk briefly about the past number of weeks and what we've been up to on the farm. We also talk a bit more about the advanced place having such a mild winter can put us in... and the concerns we have for the strawberries when the weather is this mild throughout the winter.

The Snack Shack sometimes feels like its just a "tag on" to everything we do here at the farm, but it take quite a bit of work and we are quite happy with what we are able to offer through its windows! This episode covers a bit of the history as well as what we currently offer.

As soon as we pass the winter equinox it starts to feel like we're ticking right away towards strawberry season. Add a milder winter (so far) to the mix and it feels like we're moving even faster!

Lowell & Delvin dive deeper into the topic of what it takes to produce a high quality green house (hydroponic) tomato.

Lowell & Delvin talk about some of the challenges of growing tomatoes through the winter in a greenhouse. One of the biggest issues is keeping the tomato plants warm enough to grow and bloom.

Lowell & Eldon talk about whats been going on since we wrapped up the fall season here at the farm. The weather has changed, and we are definitely heading into the winter season. That of course means tomatoes in the greenhouse as well as field work and thinking about things we need to work on for spring.
