Water, water everywhere!

It looks like 'Mud Month' (traditonally April) is coming early this year. All it takes is a couple of days of warmer weather (like today) and the snow starts to melt and the mud starts to appear.

The annoying thing is that there's basically nothing we can do about it right now. The solution to the mud is better drainage, but we can't dig ditchs or drains until the ground is less frozen - right now it's just the surface that is melting, nothing below about 2 inches.

We have been, and will continue to, bring in gravel for the parking lot, but until we can fix the drainage, it just gets swallowed by the mud.

So make sure you bring your rubber boots when you come out to the farm!
