Echinacea, the sweetest ewe in our flock, gave birth to triplet lambs over the weekend!Lamb triplets are fairly rare and this is the first time itโs happened at Greenacres.
Ewes only have 2 teats, making it hard for a momma to feed 3 at once. Thankfully another ewe who had a single baby is also feeding one of the triplets. The livestock team will keep a close eye on all three to make sure everyone gets enough to eat.
It was an all-hands effort to plant brassicas in our Ley field at the start of May! The beds had been resting under a thick tarp for a few weeks, which terminated last yearโs cover crop and helped warm the soil. We added several inches of compost from our onsite compost facility, and gently worked it into the top few inches of soil with a power harrow. Our brassica seedlings are now happily growing - look for this broccolini, cabbage, kohlrabi and kale to be in our farmstore later this season!
Our โAsk a Farmerโ plant and flower sale event is this Saturday 9-1 at our Farmstore! We have veggie, herb and flower plants, and gorgeous cut flower bouquets for Mom. Our garden staff will be on hand to answer questions! All our plants and flowers are grown from seed on our farm, following organic practices. ๐ฑ๐ธ
Ohio Native Plant Month is almost over, but we're still appreciating the plants that make our region beautiful!
We're quite fond of Northern Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) as it is a great understory shrub that can be used to replace invasive honeysuckle. They produce red berries in the fall that are a great food source for migrating song birds.
Earth Day is about celebrating and acknowledging every creature and the habitats they call home. Our staff lives this mentality. Earlier this month, our Research Assistant Chad, found a spotted salamander egg mass while working in our wetland.. a sign of clean, healthy water.
The state amphibian of Ohio, spotted salamanders lay up to 100 eggs in a jelly-like clump in a pool of water. The eggs hatch in a month or so, and the juvenile salamanders live in the water for several months before losing their gills and moving onto land. Amphibians like salamanders need clean water to reproduce, another reason we work hard to protect and monitor our waterways. Happy Earth Day! ๐

Students from Oyler School visited our Indian Hill location recently - this class had the opportunity to observe our routine cattle vaccinations and they were able to touch the side of one of our bulls. This kind of hands-on education happens all year round here at Greenacres - if your class or homeschool group would like to learn more about our educational programming visit our website to learn more.
The tomato plants in our new greenhouse expansion are almost as tall as Nate! The garden team is experimenting with best practices in LED lighting, beneficial insects, and soil biology to grow tomatoes outside their typical season in Ohio. Fruiting plants are complex, needing different wavelengths of light at different stages to grow foliage, flower, and fruit successfully - and each step of the process can impact fruit flavor. ๐
