Splitzville Farm

Winter!...Take Two!

The wonderful weather of the January thaw is now a recent memory, and the deep freeze of winter is here again. Creeping into your house and nipping at your toes at night.

Besides feeding the never ending apatite of our wood stove, we are planning huge new gardens here at the farm. We will be adding an entire acre to the market garden! And as we snoop through the seed catalogs, and peek into the multitude of tiny envelopes and old pill bottles to inventory our seed collections, we know that spring is now only just over a month away.

What are your plans for your gardens? Have you learned something that we should know for this coming season? Have you heard about Martina's seed swap?

At Splitzville Farm, our aim is towards self sufficiency.  To grow our own food and drink.  We strive for an eco friendly existance, with solar power and water catchment. We long for a day when we drive our electric car to the local farmers market to sell our goods.

The idea that one would compose a meal in which the ingredients had traveled farther than us, is baffeling! We've traveled a lot, but some meals are full of items that are now common that have travelled thousands of miles to get to your table.

And they have the nerve to call them fresh!

 Most importantly, our motto at Splitzville Farm is simply...

"Do what you want, relax, say what you feel" and it seems to be working, both of us are healthier and happier since the inception of the farm.
