Hi Everyone! This is a blog about creating, managing, and owning a small-scale, sustainable farm! The Lonely Oak's blog name refers to the single oak tree that stands in the middle of our field. It represents strength, life, perseverance and renewal, qualities that embody our farm. Ever wonder what a farmer does the whole year round? Keep reading to follow us on my adventures.

time to show some bark
Well its beginning to feel and look a lot more like spring and i decided it was time to unwrap my small apple trees from the burlap winter cover. The burlap helps to protect young and other delicate trees from the worst effects of winter weather and rodent problems. These pictures are a before and after of me unwrapping the trees for the upcoming season. I hope that these trees will really grow this year as the last two seasons have been hard on many fruit trees. I hope to enjoy a wider variety of my own fruit this season but for the next few seasons until my trees mature further many will be in limited quantities.
