The Piper's Peck

The tomatoes and peppers are looking great! We covered the rest of the area with black plastic to kill the weeds in preparation for the buckwheat cover crop, but left a stand of milk week in the middle. That's one of our permaculture/pollinator gardening techniques.

Harrison's Wine Grill & Catering now has a DELICIOUS sandwich, bacon cheddar panini, featuring The Piper's Peck Habanero Pepper Jelly. Stop in and try it!

My planting crew on Saturday! Thanks everyone!! We still have a few hundred more peppers to go, hopefully this evening they'll all be in. We found a baby bird (only 3" long!) perched on the tomato plants that were under a tree waiting to be planted. Mother chipping sparrow eventually found it.

A great local event is coming soon! A Festa Picnic at the Pleasant Gap Carnival Grounds on Sunday, May 22, from 1-4 pm. Find more info @Facebook/FestaNic or @Festanic.com. You can purchase tickets for the event @Festanic/BrownPaperTickets.

Farmers' markets have begun! You'll find us at Boalsburg on Tuesdays from 2-6 and Downtown State College on Fridays from 11:30-5:30. All your favorites are in stock. See you there!

On Saturday, we had a "Crop Mob" out here to do some field prep. We did some weed barrier mulching, reassigned a bunch rocks, pulled and dug weeds, cleaned up the tomato patch, and laid down plastic to solarize a patch of soil. Thanks Chris, Christa, and John!

New baby chicks!

Celebrate the Resurrection! What love! What power! What hope!
