With a small and mighty crew we cleared the snow Tuesday with these great avalanche rakes, built for just this job.

Here is the final step in the vacuum seeder process.

Here you can see Virginie going through the steps of seeding a tray of radicchio using the vacuum seeder. This novel device absolutely drives the efficiency of the process. Seeding by hand works too, but it is slower 🙄 and when we are talking 12,000 cabbage seeds in a day, this tool is the bomb.

A bunch of Chi's Farm fan club came and planted lots of potatoes last weekend. Olive, who is 13 years old, asked if she could drive the tractor, and generously Scott gave her a lesson on driving the tractor and here they are creating a furrow for another row.

Here is the big pull to get the greenhouse covered. It takes a crew, ropes, tennis balls and a bit of care to do this big job. Often the plastic glides up more easily than this capture. This plastic was folded and stuck together so it wasn't as graceful as it has been, alas it is pretty epic. So check out the team making it happen here.

The final pulls to getting it covered.

Here is the Mechanical Transplanter working in fast motion, getting the broccoli planter planted at lightening speed.

Here is an exceptional acquisition, thanks to the network of farmers from the old times that still know where the important equipment resides, this has become an efficiency contributor to the farm. Here it is in real time.

Check out this innovative bubbling system that gets the greens beautifully clean.

This is the first step in the process of using the paper pot transplanter. This is a super fun, eco-friendly and efficient process. We will show you the next step as the seeds grow and ready to go to the field. Emily does a lovely job walking us through this.

Hear it straight from Chi, these Asian greens are fabulous. They are not bitter or spicy, they are delicious eaten fresh, they also shine when you lightly stiry fry or sauté them. They grow faster than the lettuces that go into the salad mix, therefore at this time of the year they are perfect to fill in the gap. Try them!

This fabulous tool is essential for cutting all the famous salad mix you have been enjoying. It has a sharp blade at the bottom and sweeps the greens into the cloth basin. It turned out to be a whiz at cutting the microgreens. Here is Gabe using it on a flat of pea microgreens.
