A biweekly conversation around what has been going on here at Yoders' Farm in Rustburg, Virginia. We are a four generation farm providing "Locally grown, gourmet produce & family friendly activities." That includes a PYO Strawberry Patch, Hydroponic Tomatoes, and in the fall we have a Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze.
Time for a quick catch-up from the farm... we're transitioning out of the strawberry, and spring seasons and moving into summer.
Finally got around to recording an update here in early May of 2023. Our PYO strawberry season is about half over at this point (it started a little earlier than most years). We talk through some of the challenges of the last month or so, go through the updates of the different areas around the farm (strawberries, tomatoes, row crops, etc) and catch you up to date!
Lowell and Eldon discuss things around the farm as we're officially heading into the spring season. There have been some cold nights here on the farm which have definitely affected our strawberry crop. There's also an update on the hydroponic tomatoes and how the greenhouses are doing.
In this episode, Lowell and Eldon catch you up on the results of a super cold spell in late December, how that affected the Strawberries and how they are recovering, as well as some other odds and ends from the last month or so on the farm.
