“Bring the chicken bin” is a phrase said most harv “Bring the chicken bin” is a phrase said most harvesting mornings! While we’re out picking for markets, not everything we grow ends up pretty enough to bring to sell. What we don’t harvest to sell, we harvest for our animals! It’s one of our favorite things about being a diversified farm! Things don’t go to waste around here and our animals love a fresh treat of Arugula, Chard & Kale🤩

Cow Day!! May 18, 2026 This year our herd was ext Cow Day!! May 18, 2026

This year our herd was extra ready for pasture, due to the wetness of this spring we’ve had to keep them in the barn a little longer than normal. 

There’s something so magical about cow day!! There are a lot of moving parts and everything came together without flaw, well mostly. Our littles were being a bit stubborn so they’ll join the herd, for the first time, when we move everybody through to the back pastures. 

What a lovely thing for Mondays to be so fulfilling. 

I hope you enjoy their pasture chomps as much as we all do!! Chomp chomp!! ☀️

This spring has been cold and wet. Leaving little This spring has been cold and wet. Leaving little time to lay plastic in our field, harden off our plants, and get those bad boys in the ground! In the last week, we’ve made an effort to take advantage of the nice days and accomplished all of the above. 

Field crew is back and ready for another season! More and more plants going into the ground before our next wet spell. 🌱☀️🌱

Our 2025 season recap! What a year! A very wet s Our 2025 season recap! 

What a year! A very wet spring, leading to a very dry July. The weeds took over the field and we all became very adept at “knife weeding” we did more experimental rows of potatoes to try and get a sustainable yield without plastic. We had a really solid crew of full time and part time employees and a great rotation of volunteers. This farm is something special. And that wouldn’t be possible without you, our workers, and our customers! From everyone at the Plato Dale team, our most heartfelt of thanks to you all ❤️

We’re gearing up for another amazing season, we’ve got a few returners this season and are looking to fill in the gaps! If you’re interested in working full time, part time, or even volunteering please head to our website and apply!

As Field Hands we are the workers out in the field As Field Hands we are the workers out in the field! That means that you should be comfortable in all kinds of weather. As the season progresses we experience, cold temperatures, direct sunshine, heat, wind, and rain. ☀️🌧️🌬️❄️

Our main jobs are planting, weeding, and harvesting. To accomplish these, we move our bodies… a lot! You should be comfortable with walking, standing, kneeling, squatting, bending for extended periods. 🌱🫑🧅🧄🥕🧑‍🌾

Bulk produce can be heavy, when we can we partner lift a heavy item, but you should be comfortable with lifting and maneuvering  heavy things. 💪

While out in the field there’s moments when we find ourselves working on an independent task or communally. It’s important that you’re comfortable staying on task and following directions. ☑️
