Picture of the week
June 7th, 2026
The glory days ofsummer in Northern Michigan are here. Temperatures around 80 during the day, 55 at night, and a shower or two every thirdy day. The peaches are done blooming and are setting their fruit. The chestnuts leaves are expanding quickly and are starting to show initial pollen structures.
This week we will start grafting some of our seedling chestnuts to known cultivars that produce large nuts and have done well in our orchard. Stay tuned for videos showing how we do it. Otherwise, we continue to move our sheep daily and the lambs are 30-40 lbs already. If we get a dry spell, we will cut and bail up some more hay.
Enjoy Summer
