Conversations with Yoders' Farm

Time for a quick catch-up from the farm... we're transitioning out of the strawberry, and spring seasons and moving into summer.

Finally got around to recording an update here in early May of 2023. Our PYO strawberry season is about half over at this point (it started a little earlier than most years). We talk through some of the challenges of the last month or so, go through the updates of the different areas around the farm (strawberries, tomatoes, row crops, etc) and catch you up to date!

Lowell and Eldon discuss things around the farm as we're officially heading into the spring season. There have been some cold nights here on the farm which have definitely affected our strawberry crop. There's also an update on the hydroponic tomatoes and how the greenhouses are doing.

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon catch you up on the results of a super cold spell in late December, how that affected the Strawberries and how they are recovering, as well as some other odds and ends from the last month or so on the farm.

Lowell and Eldon recap November and December of this year, mostly talking about the strawberry plants and what we've been doing with them since they were planted later than we would have liked. Toward the end of the episode, we also talked about the greenhouse hydroponic tomatoes and Farm Store a bit.

As usual, our fall season has been a unique one! In this episode, Lowell and Eldon talk through the planting of the pick-your-own strawberry plants for 2023 and some of the issues around that as well as give a brief recap of the Corn Maze and Pumpkin patch fall season.

A short catch-up episode of what we've been doing here at the Farm for the last month or so... as well as what we're doing at the moment while we work towards getting ready to open for our fall Corn Maze and Pumpkin patch season.

Not a ton to talk about right now... the PYO strawberry patch is closed, and we're working on summer activities like planting the Corn Maze and pumpkins, but overall just a quick catchup for what's going on over here at the farm these days!

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon update you on what all has been going on over the last month or so here at Yoders' Farm, hydroponic tomatoes, field crops, fall stuff, and then go kind of deep on the recap of the 2022 PYO Strawberry Season. Finally, we respond to a listener's question regarding growing pumpkins in the remaining plastic rows after strawberry season.

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon catch up to talk about the past month or so here at the farm. Of particular interest to us recently have been several freezing temperatures that have caused some pretty major damage to our PYO strawberry patch, even though we did all that we could to protect the blooms and buds.

In today's episode, Lowell and Eldon catch up about what has been going on over the last month here at Yoders' Farm. We talk a fair bit about the hydroponic tomatoes at this time of year, as well as the strawberry plants and what we're thinking about right now in relation to the upcoming PYO season.

This is just a short episode about what we're up to on the farm these days. Tomatoes are kind of the main focus (along with the Farm Store), strawberries got some covers pulled over them recently... etc...

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon talk about what's been going on over the past month or so. Although our busy fall pumpkin and corn maze season are over and the pressure of lots of people being on the farm with it, there's always more to be done!

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon talk about the first couple of weeks of the Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch as well as the current project of trying to get all of the strawberries planted. It's a busy time of the year, but we pretty much always say that... and it pretty much always is! :)

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon discuss a general update from the farm as we enter the summer months and prep for our fall season as well as strawberry planting.

In this episode, Lowell and Eldon bring you up to date with an overview of how the 2021 PYO season has gone here at Yoders' Farm. There is also some discussion about strawberry varieties for next year, some problems we had with our strawberries this year, and some general farm updates.

In particular, a majority of the episode is spent talking about the PYO strawberry patch and some of the things we're doing right now. Towards the end, Lowell talks some about how technology and farming are continuing to be more and more intertwined.

In this episode, Lowell and I (Eldon) talk about what we've been up to around Yoders' Farm the last few weeks. Strawberries and tomatoes are the main things on our minds but the next season is always just around the corner too, so we even talked about Fall a little bit. :)

Lowell and I talk about what has been going on the last few weeks here at the farm. The majority of that includes working with our greenhouse tomatoes and keeping the stoves that heat our greenhouses rolling. We briefly talk about strawberries and several other things as well.

In this episode, Lowell & Eldon talk about some struggles we've been having with getting our strawberry plants planted this fall before discussing some of what we're doing differently this fall and how the first two weekends of our fall corn maze and pumpkin patch season have gone.
