April is here and we’re welcoming the appearance of new growth and vibrant blooms! Learn more about our new Work/Trade program which gives access to flower & vegetable CSA shares through labor trade.

Spring is in the air at the farm! The days are getting longer, the sun is shining brighter, and the tulips we overwintered in cold storage are ready for harvest. It’s been really interesting watching the crateloads of pale stems morph into beautiful green leaves and colorful flowerheads. It’s always exciting to see the farm come to life after a long winter.

After the longest January on record, we’re welcoming February with a big delivery from Johnny’s Selected Seeds.

As many of you know, Alisa, our beloved flower farmer and my co-conspirator here at Maitri, is leaving the farm at the end of this year.  She’s been a joy to work alongside these past three years and has made the work of building up Maitri into a sustainable operation an attainable goal. Her generosity with her time and her efforts to make this change as painless for the Farm (and me!) as possible by diligently working  to leave clear records, plans and a book of operational procedures to help us transition her away and with onboarding a new farmer when they join the team is deeply appreciated and very much within character for her.
