As we say goodbye to winter and HELLO to spring, we wanted to take this opportunity to share what is going on at the farm & what we have planned for the upcoming season.
SPRING THRILLER at the PLAYHOUSE
It’s hard to believe we are already entering our 22nd year of providing dinner theatre shows for you! We have an exciting one up next.
The stage is being set and rehearsals have begun for the second installment of our new Thriller Series at the Playhouse. A Party to Murder, which plays April 4th to April 26th, will be full of spine-tingling chills and may just have you jumping in your seat. Our signature three-course meal is back! Tickets are on sale now. Find out more
PREPARATION & PLANTING
This planting season didn’t come on gradually, it warmed up quickly! Seemingly overnight we were spurred to prep ALL the fields for the year’s plantings. It’s a rush, but necessary to get all the spring planting done before any chancees of spring rains.
All the Christmas tree seedlings will be planted by the beginning of April. We’ve been moving quickly to clear the land for thousands of baby trees. The lavender field will be moved to a new location this year and we are seeding cover crops and laying weed barrier this week!
At the end of long windy day last week, Kip was discing the sorghum field used for Field of Screams. He turned back to check his progress and noticed flames. The disc must have struck something causing a spark and the gusty day caused a quick spread.
We are thankful to the Sedwick County Fire department who arrived quickly and acted swiftly. We’ve expressed how dry things have been recently and this field fire was proof. It took only minutes for the spark to spread over a large area. Damage in the area was minimal. Sadly, a small batch of future Christmas trees were damaged and with the slow growth of trees lately, we are disappointed. But everyone is safe and so, as always, we have reason to be thankful!
LAVENDER SEASON
We are currently preparing for more lavender seedlings to be planted in the coming month. The garden clean up has also begun. More information will be coming soon about our second annual Lavender Daze and Lavender Plant Sale. As we make all the preparations for our opening, take a minute to browse our online shop and our upcoming schedule.
Summer will be upon us quickly. We can’t wait to see you at the farm!
