Garden Produce from May Farms
These vegetables came fresh from our garden today – Limited quantities and variety available as it is early in the season. Byers has a lot of activities going on for the 4th of July including a parade in the morning on Front St. and rodeo in the afternoon over at the Quint Valley Fair Grounds.
Have a Happy and SAFE 4th of July!
Today we are planting our pumpkin patch! This is a very exciting time of year for us as we get to see the farm transform from brown open space to lush fields of green. It all begins with Grant May behind the wheel of an old John Deere tractor, plowing the way for a tiny seed . You’ll see in these pictures a larger tractor with bins which contain the seed, dropping them in to the ground in nice straight lines 4 rows at a time. Our first year we planted our pumpkin seeds by hand… We will continue to update you on the growth of the pumpkins so you can see the patch grow. These pumpkins should be ready 100 days from now.
We are planting 10 varieties of pumpkins including:
Magic Lantern, Aladdin, Wee -B- Little, Big Doris, Atlantic Giant, Polar Bear, Jack-O-Lantern, Red Warty Things, Magic Wand and Candy Corn. The Candy corn pumpkins will be used for our pumpkin launcher this fall!
This weekend May Farms staff planted 1000 pepper plants! Everything from California Golden, Jalapeno, Sandia, Lady Bell and Anaheim peppers. These peppers were “started” indoors and so we have a good healthy plant already to go in the ground.
Here’s a few tips. Peppers like well drained soil and lots of sunshine. The great thing about peppers is the more you harvest them the more peppers they will produce. However, if you want to maximize the health benefits let them ripen to full maturity to benefit from all the Vitamin A & C that the pepper has to offer.
May Farms Garden – Farmers Market – Produce Stand Update
We’re starting to plant the garden and we’ve got cantaloupe, onions, carrots, zucchini, summer squash, acorn squash and lemon cucumber seeds all in the ground. It’s awfully windy out on the Eastern plains today so we will resume planting when we feel like we won’t blow away!
We will continue to plant in the coming weeks and plan to have fresh produce available in a couple of months. We look forward to providing fresh produce to your family and seeing you here at the farm. Byers is only about 30 minutes from Denver and an easy drive on the highway. We hope you can make time to come visit us this summer!
May Farms will be delivering portable herb gardens which have been planted and cared for at May Farms, to two local restaurants who take pride in serving only the freshest of products to their customers. Supporting local farmers is important to our livelihood and our economy and we want to say THANK YOU!
Sporting News Grill on Tower Road and Fuel Café Downtown purchase fresh produce through out the growing season from May Farms. These portable herb gardens, which contain mint, sage, parsley, basil and cilantro allow chefs to cut what they need right from the plant without having to do the labor intensive work of planting and growing ahead of time. The portable gardens are easy to manage and care for once they are established which we do right here at our farm! We are currently caring for these gardens and should be able to deliver them soon!
Sporting News Grill and Fuel Café prepare many meals using fresh produce from May Farms including swiss chard, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, radishes, corn, cucumbers, beets, peppers, carrots, squash and more!
These produce items will all be available at May Farms’ Farmer’s Market this summer. Stay tuned for garden updates and produce availability.
Bee Pollinating Blossom
Gardening in Colorado can be tricky. Watering schedules, fertilizer, protecting from frost, avoiding pests. When it comes to bugs though, not all bugs are bad. Some bugs can help your fruits, vegetables and flowers THRIVE. Whether you are a new gardner or you have been gardening for years you want to make sure you know how to attract the RIGHT kind of bugs to your garden. Here is an article we found that will help you do just that.
Last week our good friend Quentin Smith brought over 20,000 honey bees to our farm! Sounds a little crazy right?… but bees are important to us and all farmers! These bees will not only collect lavender honey from our lavender field but pollinate our flowers and crops to ensure promising yields.
Many of the foods and crops we rely on need or, at the very least, benefit from bee pollination. Here’s a list of some of those crops.
Come share in a part of our family’s traditions!
