Bees!

8 Hives at CBO

Today, Nicholas Thill from Honey Grove Apiaries, LLC stopped by with some beehives that will be housed at Country Blossoms Organics. We hope that having these hives on our farm will be beneficial to the bees and to our crops. We are very excited to support Honey Grove Apiaries, LLC in their mission to supply the community with their delicious, local honey, and we are equally excited for our plants to benefit from the bees!

Just a reminder that Country Blossoms Organics LLC will be a vendor at the upcoming Lomira Farmer's Market. Opening day of the market will be on Saturday, June 13th, and will run each Saturday morning until October 10th from 8:00 AM-12:00 PM. If you are interested in participating in this year's farmer's market, we will be having a vendor meeting on Saturday, April 18th at 10:30 AM in the community room of the Lomira Municipal Building. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jenny at jenpriesgen@gmail.com.

What's Growing in the Garden?

As reported in earlier posts, we have started some seeds for our gardens already, but we have plans to start more seeds in the near future. We will also be direct-seeding much of our produce and herbs. Some of our produce are varieties that have grown well on the farm in the past, but we are trying some that are a little more unique to our farm, so we are excited to be experimenting with our gardens!

We are also beginning to compost more actively. We would like to thank The SweetSpot Bakehouse in Whitewater, WI for saving their used coffee grounds for use in our compost. Compost is one of the key elements in creating healthy soil, and it is a major part of organic farming.

Here is a basic list of the produce, herbs and flowers we have planned for this year. If you are interested in knowing more about specific varieties, feel free to e-mail us at countryblossomsorganics@gmail.com to inquire.
