Still Wet Here

Sorry to tell you that we received over 2" of rain Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. That put us out of commission for harvesting again for a few days. We can always use the rain but we've had quite a bit lately and we just haven't been able to get out and harvest much so far this year. We'll start again as soon as it dries up enough to allow the grass to block up correctly. Thank you for your patience! Here's a couple of pics of one of our fields.    ...

Holiday Hours

Update: For New Year's we will be closed Thursday and Friday as well. We couldn't cut grass anyway it's been so wet!! We had a little sun yesterday but not a lot and not much at all today so things just aren't drying up. But it's a good time to spend time with families and we hope you can do that as well. Happy New Year everyone and we'll see you in 2015!   We hope you have a Merry Christmas and get to spend some time with your family. We will be closed Wednesday through Sunday for Christmas and then will be back at it on Monday the 29th. Thank you and Happy Holidays! We'll leave you with a beautiful sunrise over the farm last week. ...

Color Check

Color Check

Just an update on the color of the grass.  It's improving but still not where we would like it to be.  Monday night the temp was 46º and last night it was 51º which is not conducive to greening up.  The grass really needs temperatures consistently above 60º at night to continue to gain color and sustain growth.  But we're getting there. You can see in the bottom two pictures that even though that grass is pretty green, it's still too thin to harvest.  We have a lot of that right now; grass not quite ready to harvest.  And if you walk out in the field there's still a lot of brown from the winter kill we had so the grass isn't even quite as green as it looks in these pictures. ...

Murff Turf and Chickens?

Well, our Billion Dollar Bracket for college basketball is busted so to cheer everyone up here, Penny took some photos of the free range chickens we will be selling soon!  Get ready for some tasty fryers! I'm just kidding!  This is our new fertilizer scheme!  Okay, kidding again.  But Penny did take some pics of the chickens she feeds every morning here and I thought they were quite good so I wanted to share them.  If you come to pick up a pallet of grass, ask Penny if you can take one of the chickens home with you as a bonus.  Ha! ...
