Winter Projects

Here at Dandelion Ridge Farm, we’re spending the winter doing all the work that there isn’t time for during the peak growing season. Kevin is wiring our greenhouse for electrical, so we can finally turn on the chandelier we have hanging in there (and run fans, heat mats, and the other practical pieces)! We’re planning for next season, learning from conferences like the Kentucky Fruit & Vegetable Growers Conference this past week, and doing lots of record-keeping and other office work—not the most glamorous and fun part of farming, but almost as vital as the planting, weeding, and harvesting! We’ve been working with the wonderful folks at Kentucky Center for Agriculture and Rural Development (KCARD) on business planning, and are also preparing all the records needed to apply for organic certification this spring.
