Whats Happening on the Farm
Things may slow down - but we NEVER STOP
01/02/2024
January may be a slow month for us, but farming never stops. We get a chance to clean things up a bit and yes, enjoy a little bit of down time, a few more walks around the farm, but it is also an exciting time to plan things for next season - and think about what we might like to add to our mix of products. What about you- do you have something you would like to see us add to our mix?
What's on your Christmas list?

CSA has begun!
05/17/2023
Well, our CSA has begun. The 2023 season has started early and we could not be more excited about that! We look forward to seeing you all again as well as some new faces! We are starting the year off with lots of goodies to plant your own garden so here's a hint that the next couple of weeks your bonus will involve a little work on your part! It will be just a little taste of what farmers do on a larger scale to bring food to your table. We think you will enjoy bringing a bit of your own farm and hard work to your own table and you get to really enjoy the benefit of "as fresh as you can get!"
Welcome 2023!
02/18/2023
It may be chilly outside - well maybe not as chilly as it should be - but it's not quite Spring yet. We are busy getting everything pruned and mowed in the hope for a great season! Feel free to stop by the farm starting in March to check out what's 'growing' on in the greenhouse and at the on-farm market. Keep checking the website and facebook for the opening day!

Disking in the Lime
04/19/2020
Limestone was spread throughout most of the farm a couple of weeks ago. Limestone adds PH to the soil and makes the fertilizers more efficient.
Lime is also proven to be a simple and cost-effective way to counter the harsh conditions created by rising acidity. Applications of Ag Lime are a reliable way to keep your soil healthy and high-yielding.
A common practice is to disk (burry the lime into the soil) soon after the application. As shown in the video, we disk the ground to work in the lime into the soil. We will return back to these fields about a week prior to planting and plow the fields. We will then take a field cultivator and level the plowed ground to form a perfect planting bed.
We Won!
12/28/2019
We won! Thank you to all our friends for voting for Pineland Farms as the best-decorated stand ! We love doing it!
