The Old Orchard

All that's left of the old orchard here are two pear trees. Here's a photo of one of them, in full blossom.
When I was a kid, there also used to be a Rome Apple and a Plum, delicious for canning or just eating
right off the tree.

Fertilizer Spreading...

A pic of the fertilizer spreader, just days before planting. Thanks to the Farmers Coop in Kinde.

Spring means birds chirping and blossoms in bloom, and speaking
of flowers, I'd like to say thanks to My Secret Garden in Pigeon
for their help and support since we opened in 2005. They have
a brand new webpage at MySecretGardenInc.com
and you can also find a link to their webpage from our website
at DepnerFarms.com. If you need the perfect custom arrangement,
check them out. They'll deliver right to the doorstep of your choice
and their service is absolutely A-mazing!!!

Spring is here!!!

Hi Folks!! Spring is finally here and planting time is approaching!! The DepnerFarms cornfieldcam shows us preparing
the field for this year's maze. Conditions are dry so your raindances are appreciated. The pumpkin
seeds are ordered and hopefully we'll be planting them by Memorial Day weekend, or near that time.
As always, we welcome any volunteers who might enjoy getting dirt under their fingernails! :)

Our new logo!!!

You may have noticed we have a new logo on our homepage.
So come on down to the farm this year and grab yourself one
of our brand new t-shirts featuring this new design before they
run out. I'd like to say thanks to my friends at THE LOGO MATT
for their professional service. You can find them on the web
at www.thelogo-mat.com

Taking the Plunge!

Then it was down to the local marina to watch some polar bear dipping action, as hundreds of onlookers gathered around. I don't think this is a farmers activity, so count me out... but I've got to hand it to these folks. It was a frigid day! "BURRRRR!!!"

Broomball Action at Shanty Days '08

It was a great day today for Caseville's Shanty Days, so let's see what we can find downtown.... Here, the broomball competition heats up down at the Caseville County Park. If you like dangerous action, you'd definitely love this sport. I'd strongly recommend wearing some type of faceguard if you'd like to go home with all of your teeth!
