The Health Department came to the farm yesterday and gave us the okay to add a well! Since the creek that we normally get water from to water the plants is pretty much dried up, this is FANTASTIC news. We’re just waiting for the written permit to arrive in the mail, and if it does by the end of the week, we’ll start drilling next week!
Along with having water for the crops, a well means we can irrigate. But that’s not all. We can also fertigate, or add natural fertilizers like fish emulsions and kelp to the water to help the plants grow faster and stronger.
And for you, Edible Old Dominion fans and CSA members, this means more veggies! Hopefully your bags will be fuller with bigger, stronger, more delicious produce each week.
