Rain or Shine at Willow-Witt Ranch

Abundance of springtime
Like the heartbeat of the Earth quickening
Blossoms open, bird songs fill the air
Showers from the sky like little gifts
Potent droplets feeding growth
People gather, celebrate, smile, and connect
Earthy wisdom, patience, and beauty leaving echos of awe

There is so much to celebrate this month and beyond! We have wildflowers blooming, sandhill cranes dancing, and a diverse population of bird species singing

The reciprocal relationship of a sanctuary spring home and the joy they bring visitors is one of the highlights of the season. Come on up and restore your senses with a bird song serenade! We look forward to connecting with you at any or all of our upcoming events.

A pair of Sandhill Cranes return to the wetlands

Who’s Flying

A pair of Sandhill Cranes return to the wetlands and meadows annually, arriving mid-March and departing late August/September. Occasional visiting cranes stop in for a day or two at a time.

The pair thrives in wetlands, marshes, meadows, and prairies, often nesting near shallow water. They prefer habitats with high visibility for safety.

Opportunistic omnivores, they use their long beaks to probe for seeds, grains, berries, insects, snails, rodents, frogs, and lizards.

Here on the ranch, we often witness the pair dancing. This elaborate behavior involves jumping, bowing, wing-flapping, and tossing vegetation into the air. They dance to strengthen their lifelong partnership and bond, as well as to express excitement. It is a year-round occurrence, most frequently seen during breeding season.

Trays of kale, chard, lettuce, basil, and parsley seedlings

What’s Blooming

Organic gardening has begun!. We combine our rich compost with amendments to support new sprouts. Trays of kale, chard, lettuce, basil, and parsley thrive in the warmth of the greenhouse.

Direct seedlings in the protected high tunnel include peas, carrots, tatsoi, arugula, cilantro, spinach, and beneficial flowers. Watered and tended to daily, this act of care has the potential to foster a sense of purpose and internal growth.

Subtle shifts seem to suddenly crescendo into an orchestra of spring notes this time of year. Garlic has begun to sprout in the garden, goat milk production is on the rise, the chickens are laying more eggs, and the ducks have a little extra spring in their step, as well as a lot to gossip about. 

Although snow is a welcome part of this season on the ranch (and we hope for more), the ground is swiftly becoming varying shades of green, dotted with purple wildflowers. The cycle of adding to and turning compost now culminates in fertility for seedlings. Water fills the wetlands and willow cuttings wait for loving hands to plant them on the land. We invite you to savor the season with us by attending an event, stopping by to say hello, or booking a farm tour or farm stay. Wishing you all the best in this season of rebirth.
