WHO'S READING US TODAY???

Who's Reading Us Today???
I know you don't here from me much this time of year....what with all the food to harvest.  But, I really do love my job here on the farm.  As you may remember, I'm the bear responsible for all the picking, shipping, and of course,  tracking the web site traffic.  In fact,  this year we are adding express delivery anywhere in the U.S. of our specialty produce. 

And, we grow our produce without pesticides and weed killers!     Of course sales of our produce makes it possible for us to share with others in need.    I'll try to have a "catalog"  posted soon, so keep an eye out for it.   Thanks for following us!  Choo Choo

SOME TIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO SAY ... 'THANK YOU!"

Gift "Salsa" Basket
This beautiful basket was created to thank one of our regular patrons at the Wauseon Library for all of their support over the last two years.  The funny thing is...she was on vacation!  So Jackie where ever you are...the bears hope you are having a great time!  And, the other folks at work,  (who also deserve our appreciation) are thrilled to enjoy your gift.   Just so you know...the basket included:

Green Bell Pepper
Roma Tomatoes
Tomatillo
Jalapenos

And for the readers who can make it out to the farm, you can buy these beauties for yourself, or to share with others.  We are located at 1565 Co. Rd. 12  between Wauseon & Nalpoleon.  I can see Rd. B from my kitchen window.  You can call or text me at 419  280-0300 for availability and whats being picked at any given time.    Straw Beary

SALAD ANYONE???

Fresh from the garden...
We grew everything you see in these bowls!  Romaine & Simpson lettuce, green pepper, radishes, & San Morenzo tomatoes!   Just imagine being able to walk out your back door and pick a salad like this.  And, we also have herbs such as dill, celantro, basil, mint...and much more.  I'm not sure why we forgot to pick a cuccumber.    Your pal  Blu Bear

Kadence Adopts A Kitten

Straw Beary & Kadence
If you think she looks happy with Straw Beary, you should see her with a new calico kitten!  She adopted the girl with all the spots (See OLDER POSTS)  The boy was the first to go, but I think Blu Bear wanted to keep "Jr." for himself.  Now there is only one little girl left, and she just loves to play.  Talk about energy!   May your kitten bring you many years of joy.  Love Straw Beary

FINALLY .....

Mulched plants ready for the harvest
It has been a lot of work getting the "garden" to this point.  17 rows of plants have been mulched with wheat straw.  It might not seem like much, but to weed and carefully place straw under each plant over 1000 times .... YIKES!!!    Can you imagine how long it would take if we did the rest of the garden this way?  We leave the pumpkins and winter squash alone because after the first couple of months there is only a sea of giant green leaves and the vines grow everywhere.

TRAGEDY STRIKES SWEET CORN...

Raccoons Attack Sweet Corn
NOoooooo !!!!  All the bears couldn't believe their eyes.  RACCOONS STRIKE SWEET CORN...and boy were they hungry.  Even though we are surrounded by acre after acre of field corn...they knew the difference!  But, we fought back...we sprayed the whole crop with a mixture of dish soap and hot pepper sauce !!!  They still came back the next night for more, but I think they got more than they bargained for.  A gallon jug filled with water was chewed open!  We use the jugs as yard markers every 50' feet in the garden.  Think maybe they were thirsty???  Hopefully they will leave the rest of the crop alone...or invite their friends over for some gourmet seasoned sweet corn.  I'll keep you posted  Field Reporter O'beary
