Welcome to the Red Wagon Farm Blog

Red Wagon Farm grows vegetable year-round using organic techniques. We also keep chickens and ducks for eggs.


We sell our produce and eggs at the Alpine Farmers Market at the Hotel Ritchey Courtyard on Historic Murphy Street. We all sell homemade pickles, relishes and mustards.

The farmers market is open every Saturday of the year, from 9 am until noon.

January 17, 2019

Good morning, It has been a couple weeks now that I clipped the guinea's wings. It has been two weeks that the greens have not been predated.  Looking forward, there is a little bit of a cool down next week. Just not seeing the warning signs of a deep freeze. Harvest quantities are reflecting this.
This week I did harvest some kohlrabi,  a nice amount of lettuce along with some spinach and a good a mount of Asian greens. It is becoming much easier to fill bags.
My first pea bed looks to be on the cusp of blooming, garlic is up about 6 inches, bulb onions are ready for transplanting  in February. Radish's and Turnips are doing nicely. 
I will be expanding my strawberry bed, it looks like they did produce an abundance of runners. It the strawberries do well there is a chance for these to be for sale.
Soon I will do some  succession sowing's of beets and carrots.
It is all starting to look very nice. Just like a plan coming together.
