This year's weather started out perfect.  Potato farmers up north were able to start planting in late April.  The rain started in late May and didn't stop for seven weeks.  

The Washington County Food Alliance was created to help food producers work together. This article gives you a sneak peak at what Robin would like to start doing again.

Robin's magazine, Maine Nature News,  lead to
being interviewed by an AP reporter about the rain and endless supply of mosquitoes.  This article was published from the crown of Maine to South Carolina.  

Being on the other side of the written word has been fun!  Watch for upcoming issues of National Geographic Kids and More magazine.

One of the unheated high tunnels we use for year-round growing.
Seasons Eatings Farm has been evolving over the last 12 years. We believe that eating locally grown food is very important. We take our work as farmers very seriously. The naturally grown food we offer our customers is the same nutritious food we eat in our home. We harvest five days a week.

We are strong believers in community, small business, local economy, sustainable agriculture and fresh, healthy, locally produced food. We educate children and adults through farmers market, speaking engagements, phone calls, and hands-on opportunity on the farm. We learn from our visitors and meet new friends.

Our vegetables and fruits are grown naturally, without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We grow real food. We fertilize our crops naturally. Manure, spent bedding of straw and pine shavings, leaves, weeds and spent vegetable plants from the gardens are composted and worked into the soil. Mulching helps keep the weeds under control instead of spraying herbicides. We don't have much of a need for pesticides. The soil is healthy enough to feed healthy plants. A bite out of a leaf here and there doesn't hurt the plants.

Robin is a freelance writer.  Her column, You Are What You Eat, is published in the Quoddy Tides.  It covers locally grown foods in eastern Washington county.  She acquired Maine Nature News in August of 2006.

The Farm Blog - updated now and then.  This has been a summer I haven't felt like talking about so there isn't a lot of updating going on.  The rain has stopped but it's unseasonably cool.  Next year will be better.

Succeeding at Farmers Market - An article I wrote for Farm & Garden that became wildly popular. It's used by universities in classes and a couple of cooperative extensions.

Locally Produce Foods - Why should you buy them?

Organic Pest Control - Yes, even organic growers can use pesticides.

USDA Hardiness Zones - What do they have to do with growing tomatoes in summer? Absolutely nothing!  I wish more people understood this.

Shopping for a CSA Farm - How do you make a good match?

Cold Weather CSA Shares - Not just summer growing!

Row Covers - A great starter on how to use them.
