On Monday we met with Bland Farms(they market our sweet onions) they flew from GA. to inspect our onions and have lunch...what a good report we recieved! They were impressed and we are thrilled to get to grow 200 acres for them next year. We followed them to Boise had dinner stayed over night and had breakfast then Jared was able to follow them up to look at some other onions with them in the Treasure Valley. Here are a few pictures.
The onions are now the size of a quarter and seem to be handling the heat well and are taking lots more water. We culivated them for the last time about a week ago a good thing to have done. We also finally purchased a loader which is another great thing on our check list to have checked.Here are a few pictures.
Our Onions are growing great... we have had a some warm days that have helped them out. It has been a rainy and cold spring and summer so far we have had only one day reach 80 degrees . I am so proud of Jared and for all the hard work he does for our family.
This past year our family has taken on a new adventure we have been working on 40 acres of Sweet Onions. They have been planted for a few months and now we are onto Dustin's favorite part the watering.. you can see the dying look on his face everytime we go there just to run through the water. Most generally he ends up in the buff just so he can ride home in the truck. Here are a few pictures of the past few weeks.
