Here at Worth the Wait Farm, we love the old saying, “April showers bring May flowers.”  It’s a comforting thought—nature’s promise that all those rainy spring days will eventually lead to blooming fields, bursting gardens, and lush greenery. But what happens when May decides to take April’s job a little too seriously and delivers a week of showers?

Well, friends, we have an answer. A week of May showers brings mud—so much mud.  The kind that clings to boots, creates unexpected slip-and-slide moments, and ensures that every farm chore requires at least one extra change of clothes. It brings pigs with entirely new career aspirations, as Muddy McSnout and the gang have officially switched from agriculture to competitive mud wrestling. Chickens, usually opinionated and vocal, have been left questioning their life choices, quietly contemplating whether ducks had the right idea all along. Meanwhile, the potatoes remain buried, blissfully unaware of the c…

After days of carefully monitoring their antics inside the barn, today was moving day for the most mischievous residents of Worth the Wait Farm: Muddy McSnout, Hogatha Christie, Bacon Bits, and Porkchop Houdini.  These four pint-sized rascals, each with their own distinct talent for trouble, were finally ready to relocate to their new field—a spacious area where they could dig, root, and plot fresh chaos.

Armed with a sort board and unwavering optimism, the plan seemed simple: guide them gently down the path, let them explore their new home, and then watch them settle in with minimal fuss.

Spoiler alert: That did not happen.

625 Feet of Determination (and Stubbornness)

The journey started off well enough. Muddy McSnout led the way, thrilled at the opportunity to discover new puddles. Hogatha Christie was suspicious but willing to go along, probably analyzing escape routes along the way. Bacon Bits followed, running in unpredictable zigzags, making it cl…

Residents of Worthington and surrounding areas, rejoice! While egg prices across the country have been skyrocketing due to inflation, supply chain woes, and overly ambitious chickens demanding "better working conditions," our flock somehow missed the memo. Turns out, they didn't unionize—so their contract negotiations were limited to extra snacks and a cozy coop.

That means you can still get farm-fresh eggs for just $3 a dozen!  No price hikes, no corporate eggflation—just happy hens doing their thing, keeping breakfast affordable one egg at a time.

Come visit our roadside stand and grab your dozen (or two)! Because while other eggs may be breaking the budget, ours are still Worth the Wait.

At Worth the Wait Farm, the arrival of spring signals the beginning of another exciting planting season. This year, we prepared our fields with care, ensuring the soil was ready to nurture a bountiful potato harvest.

Preparing the Fields

Before planting, the fields were disc harrowed, breaking up the soil and creating the perfect environment for our seed potatoes. Once the ground was ready, we dug holes approximately 12 inches apart, carefully placing each seed potato into its new home.

The Potato Varieties We Planted

This season, we selected a diverse range of potatoes from The Maine Potato Lady, each offering unique flavors, colors, and culinary possibilities:

- Laratte – A French fingerling variety with a nutty, chestnut-like flavor and firm, waxy texture.

Ah, springtime on the farm. The season of renewal, growth, and, most importantly—mud. Lots and lots of mud. If there's one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that no boot, no matter how sturdy, can withstand the pull of Worth the Wait Farm’s legendary spring mud pits. But this year, we’re ahead of the game. That’s right—we’ve officially declared war on the mud with our trusty UTV.

Gone are the days of stepping confidently onto what looks like solid ground only to end up one sock deep in disaster. Now, we cruise over the mud like royalty, safe from the treacherous puddles that lurk around every corner. Is it excessive? Maybe. Is it life-changing? Absolutely.

Of course, it's not all about mud dodging this season—spring is also delivering its annual dose of beauty and excitement. The flowers are starting to wake up and stretch toward the sun, and the greenhous…
