This blog is designed to share our experiences as our family works to transition our 800 acre farm from a conventional chemical-using farm to a sustainable organic farm. We are located near Corvallis, Oregon, in the heart of the Willamette Valley. -Clinton Lindsey

Breaking ground...spring work has begun.
Since we are having an unusually long stretch of dry weather here in late January and early February we are about to start tearing up some ground to get ready for planting. We have lots of beans, oats, flax, and wheat to plant. The wheat will go in first, then we'll play it by ear for the other crops. I also need to get the compost tea brewer going again soon as we will be spraying lots of tea on the fields this spring. The push is to get everything in as early as possible this year. Last year was tough for a lot of crops because we couldn't get them in the ground as early as we should due to the long wet spring. Hopefully this year we will get much better yields from the spring crops.
