Improving Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There are many, many facets to Rainbow OMG as a business. In order to be profitable from such a small piece of land (we farm roughly 1\/4 Acre) we need cover all aspects of farming including soil preparation, making compost, applying Biodynamic Preparations, seeding, transplanting, weeding, watering and irrigation, pest control, pruning, harvesting, washing and packing, sales, marketing, deliveries, book keeping, website creation and management, carpentry, plumbing and more. We love the challenge and diversity of tasks required throughout each day, no day is ever the same or boring which is more than I can say about almost every job I have ever had. We are building the Good Life, thank you for helping us get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Notes From The Garden<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As this was a Stop Week in the Lunar Calendar our focus has been on improving infrastructure and we certainly have done that. With the help of 6 other people we carried two 1200 Litre Commercial Fridge and Freezers through a window and back to our wash station, we improved the shade and shelter in our wash station, built three new nursery racks from old shuttle cages and some scrap mesh screens and fixed a few leaks in the pipes at the farm. All in all we achieved lot in a few days and have actually had a very good 2023 so far.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celery needs no introduction to most people however it is worth noting that it is one of the more heavily sprayed vegetables in Chemical Agriculture with most testing of off the shelf Celery returning residues of one or more Biocides (Life Killers) such as Herbicide or Pesticide. Celery is a crop where eating Organic is very important. Our Celery is a deeper green than most and is delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celery can contain the following nutritional and health benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
