FIREWOOD RAFFLE AT SPRING FEST:
Kwilton Services is proud to be associated with the Trustees of Reservations
and the Powisset teams particularly. Xenia has known the farm and woods for
30 years having first come to Dover in 1985, Allan is a newcomer to the area
and country, having first visited the farm in 2007.

We make use of many of the reservations for walking with our dog and take
pleasure in showing visiting friends the work being done by the Trustees,
not just conservation, but education too, in various forms.

To help keep this work going forward, we are offering a mixed cord of red
and white oak and a little maple worth $300 last winter delivered to the
home of the winner of the raffle, but not stacked. The wood was cut about 16
months ago, so will be perfect for burning this coming winter. It is cut at
an average 16 inches long and split ready for use.

The price per number will be $5 or $20 for 5 numbers, all proceeds to the
Trustees of Reservations. We will be at the spring fest with the trailer
loaded, so all comers will be able to see what they are playing for.

Spring Days

We have been so busy at Powisset lately that it has been hard to make my way from the fields and off the computer to say hello to all of you, Powisset Community and CSA members!  In the last five weeks, we have gone from snow in the fields, frozen fields and hail storms, to 80 degrees and rising, dry fields, irrigation running for hours to save broccoli plantings and weeds sprouting!  What a bizarre Spring! 

Our amazing farm crew starting those five weeks ago and has stuck it out with me through all the crazy weather days, hours of tractor training, and endless planting sessions that seem to last all week!  Now, as we are really into the month of May, I can see the beginning of our season come into focus.  With lettuce and spinach and scallions finally growing, and the start of the CSA less than a month away, i know that this 2015 season will actually happen...even though I was convinced for a while that we would be harvesting snow for you!

So get those recipes ready because we will be eating fresh, Powisset salads before we know it!

See you soon in the fields,

Meryl & the Powisset Farm Crew
