Luckily, winter months around Cloverleaf Farm are slow. At least slower than the summer months. It allows us time to get things done we don't get to do during the hectic summer schedule.
We start by sorting the seeds to see what we'll have to order for next year. We order all our organic seeds from Johnny's Seeds. We have for years. They have a great selection of organic and heirloom produce seeds. We specialize in organic heirloom for two reasons. One, Organic is the only way to farm...or it should be, and two heirloom veggies are the tastiest veggies you will ever put in your mouth.
What are heirloom veggies you ask? Heirloom produce are vegetables and fruits that were grown by our forefathers. They are seeds that produce the same quality product year after year because it has the same genetic make-up. Cloverleaf Farm grows Black Prince, Mortgage Lifter and other heirloom tomato varieties.
During the winter, our life slows down, but slow is good. It gives you time to peruse seed catalogs and dream of the warm summer breezes during the cold months of winter.
