So Sorry!

Wow, I didn't know I hadn't posted since December. How crazy is that! We've been so busy, I guess that is one reason.

In order to get ready for the upcoming season, we were able to double our size. We are just finishing up filling the new beds, but in 3 months those will have their first harvest.

We harvested in January and have another harvest anticipated for the end of April. Our new harvester was soooo nice. Motorized and everything. Chuck got through all the castings in 3 days rather than 3 weeks.

We have added a Facebook group if you want to join it!

Product will soon be hitting the shelves in a few stores and the Pioneer Park Farmer's market starts the middle of June.

It's working now!

We got the heater fixed. Actually the heater wasn't broken, Chuck accidently reversed the wires when he hooked up the new thermostat. That was a relief.

Oh My!

I totally jinxed us! The day after my last post, our heater quit working. Chuck and I spent 1 1/2 hours in 5 degree weather moving our worms from the worm shed to our heated garage. We didn't lose the worms thank goodness! The heater is now fixed, but we really, really don't want to haul all the worms back until it warms up just a bit hehe.

December - Merry Christmas!

Hey all. We are getting ready for our winter harvest here in the next week or so. . .most likely the week of Christmas, since the kids will be home to help out. And let me tell you, they are so excited NOT hehe.

It is freezing here, but our worms are nice and toasty warm out in their heated shed! We've gotten about 6 inches of snow the past 2 days and now that the storm has blown over and it's a clear night, it's only about 5 degrees outside tonight (it's 9:26 pm).

Chuck spent last Thursday at the middle school teaching the 6th graders all about worms. He had 5 classes he taught. The last class has our 6th grader in it. At the end of the class the teacher was asking what everyone learned. She got to our daughter and the reply was "nothing." That got a good laugh out of the class. Later that day our daughter was at 4-H and was selected to speak at the fair next August about vermicomposting. She was pretty excited she was picked to speak.

Well, don't forget, it doesn't have to be summer to order product from us. We've been shipping things out all fall, and actually just sent castings out in the mail today for a customer.

Thanks for reading.

The Last Day

Today is Chuck's last day at the SLC Pioneer Park Farmer's Market. Thank you to all those who have met him there and purchased our castings/tea/worms. We sure appreciate your business. We will have more product about the middle of October and we plan on expanding through the winter so we don't experience this problem next year. We can't believe how fast we sold out this year and how popular our castings/tea are becoming. Hang in there and we will have lots of product this spring.

Hey All . . .

Sorry, I haven't posted in awhile. Things are still going strong at the Salt Lake City Farmer's Market at Pioneer Park. If you haven't been and you live in the area, it's definately worth the visit. Don't forget to stop by our booth and let us know you read our blog.

Thanks to the commentor

of my last post, here is Olson's website.

The farmer's market went pretty good last week. We are hoping for better weather this weekend for all your shoppers.
