Thankfully, the weather has been mild this winter. Several projects are progressing very well. The nursery will include grow racks, post harvest area to wash and dry vegetables with a walk-in cooler.

Greenhouse will have double layer of poly to insulate during winter. (Next year). The soil is mainly sand, as you can see in soil profile. Cover crops growing on a bed next to area soil profile photo was taken. Notice difference in soil in just one growing season during a drought. At Growing with Minerals, we make our own compost and compost tea to protect plants and provide the biology that builds topsoil to nutrient dense food.

There is plenty of research showing vegetables have far less vitamins and minerals than those grown decades ago.

A person would have to eat 4 to 5 times as many vegetables today than in 1940, to get the same nutrition because of the way much of our food is grown.

Dan Allie has written a simple guide explaining why, and what you can do to ensure you and your family have healthy, locally grown veggies with all the flavor, minerals and biology God and nature intended.

Growing with Minerals will be growing and selling veggies to private customers starting in May. There are no crop shares. We simply let you know what veggies we have each week and you can place and pick up your order, or buy vegetables at a local restaurant and the Westfield Farmers Market.
