Groundhog Day was last week, when people across the nation looked to the furry creature to predict how many more weeks of winter we would face before temperatures start to rise.
Similarly, many farmers stay on the lookout during the winter months to better prepare for planting and harvest seasons to come. One classic resource has always been The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which has provi

Although it’s been around for hundreds of years, even an old-school staple gets an update every once in awhile: You can now follow the Almanac on Twitter and check in with its blog.
Almanac editor Catherine Boeckmann recently posted a Groundhog Day article discussing what signs of spring she is keeping an eye on. Here at NutriDense, we’re gearing up for spring by staying in contact with growers and seed partners and learning from our nutritionists and agronomists.
