Autumn 2025: Summer's abundant sunshine blessed the Harbin EcoFarm with a bumper crop of juicy tomatoes and delicious, sweet melons. We've accomplished so much this season. The water system is complete, providing us with a fully functional irrigation system. The fencing project is in process and about halfway done. In addition, the composting area is in!

As we look ahead to cooler weather, we're beginning to prepare starts for winter crops of kales, herbs and a variety of flowers. We will also install two 5 foot greenhouses which will be used for seedlings. This will allow us to continue to farm all winter long!

Summer 2025: Our first test plot is thriving. We planted tons of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, flowers and more early in July. The tomatoes were prolific and by the end of the month we had to harvest many tomatoes simply to allow the plants room to thrive. We made delicious fried green tomatoes and salsa and shared it with community members! The irrigation system continues to develop. Finalizing the farm's fencing is next. Then we will begin planning and preparing for fall and winter crops to go in. We are thrilled to be working on pollinator habitat planning as part of our strategy for a thriving ecosystem.

Sheep have returned! As you approach Harbin you might be surprised to see herds of sheep munching the dry grass along the roadsides helping reduce the risk of fire by clearing the land.

Spring 2025: We have been working hard on conservation planning for Harbin EcoFarm, as well as getting basic infrastructure in place. So far, we have a new electrical panel and the installation of power to our well. Over the winter, we prepared a 1 acre test plot and planted wildflowers and red clover for healthy soil. We are currently raising money for infrastructure necessities like trees and bushes for windbreaks, a 100 foot hoop greenhouse, road paving and irrigation.
