Happy Birthday Grandma Sherry! First harvest picks especially for her. Grandma Sherry instilled the work ethic required for Farmer Bob to step out and start his business and have it flourish!

Farm Facts with Farmer Bob: You have to listen closely to what the plants are telling you. We can put the dates on the calendar 📅 to pull the row cover, but you have to be flexible. The plants are refusing to stay under cover, so we're listening! Boy, are they loving freedom!

We seem to have emerged from yesterday's windstorm in decent shape, whereas the previous storm had a more detrimental impact. Hopefully the wind settles down soon today. Let's shift our focus to the positive aspects and share the recent developments in our vegetable and melon crops. We can't help but smile 😊 when we see these pictures!
Farm Fact with Farmer Bob: The first picks of the season always go to Grandma Sherry Walchli for taste testing!

Join us on a quick journey of a honeybee 🐝 in our melon blooms! It was amazing watching him work, and we loved his work ethic!
Did you know that many fruits 🍉🍈🥒 and vegetables rely on honeybees to produce crops? Specifically for us is the cantaloupe, watermelon and squash.
Farmer Fact: Farmer Bob says to produce a seedless watermelon the flower needs to be visited 4 to 5 times!
Watch for our watermelon honey later in the season.🍯

(Below is quoted from the internet)

How the Process Works:
Pollination occurs naturally as bees travel from flower to flower.
Foraging: Bees visit flowers seeking sugary nectar and protein-rich pollen to feed their hive.
Transfer: While inside the flower, their hairy bodies brush against the plant's anthers, getting coated in pollen.
Fertilization: When the bee moves to the next flower, some of that pollen rubs off onto the stigma, fertilizing the plant and allowing it to produce seeds and fruit.

Day 2 with no row cover! We had planned on keeping them covered a bit longer, but these plants refused to keep inside.
They are flourishing with blooms, cantaloupe and the lushest leaves! Sweet, sweet cantaloupe on it's way!
