Almost a decade ago, I approached Russ and Anita of Sirkos Greenhouse to grow our H E I R L O O M - tomatoes and other veggies for us in their greenhouses. They were generous enough to dedicate a whole greenhouse for our farm
- and to this day we are still working together! It is great to see a small scale greenhouse - hands on family working together - and be able to purchase such vibrant plants to kick off our season. Our first pick up was over 600 plants...with many more over the next few days. We need to "harden" them off before they can be planted in the fields. By working together -we support the local economy and essentially help create a village like the one featured in Vermont. They have added a great store with seeds for sale - soon they will carry heirloom seeds from Baker Creek, we hope. Best Wishes for continued success. Thank you members of the Upper Unadilla Valley Assoc. for helping to preserve this beautiful valley and all of it's beauty, natural habitat, and wildlife - as today is their annual plant sale. And thank you members for supporting small scale farmers, artisans and bakers!
