Only four weeks remain in the CSA season! As you have noticed we’ve started to put in winter squashes in the boxes. They are ready to eat, though, some, especially the Butternut variety, will last for a few months, so you don’t have to eat them all now! Just leave […]

Well, this weekend’s weather was not as bad as advertised, thank goodness. We did a little emergency work on Sunday morning: harvested the popcorn and planted another bed of lettuce and some more bok choi. We were feeling ready for the 6 inches of rain that never really came, I […]

Hurray for Greens! The Fall greens are starting to come on. It’s still August, still Summer, but it certainly felt like Fall this morning. It was just about cold, especially on our hands as we harvested wet greens and lettuce this Tuesday morning. The harvest list has started to change, […]

We’ve been attacked! We’re fairly sure that there is a group of masked bandits rampaging through our fields at time. They went for the good stuff: the sweet corn! It was pretty disappointing to go out this morning to see the extensive damage and remnants of their feast. In years […]

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Ours was a lot of fun and exhausting at the same time. We joined long-time CSA members Dave & Christine Ray on a picnic/hike/swim at Big Creek in the Smokies. We enjoyed the COLD water and great company. We brought along masks and […]

We’re truly hoping for no more rain for a little while. The farm is a bit water logged and needs some time to dry out! We were disappointed to have to postpone the farm party, but what else could we do?! Let’s just hope that this weekend is going to […]

We did the final hilling of the potatoes on Monday, planted the popcorn, another round of sweet corn, a bed of lettuce, and weeded and weeded and weeded. There’s starting to be a real shift in the kinds of produce that is available now. There are a few “Spring” things […]

News flash…it’s HOT. Is it August already? This weather is not very welcome at this point in the season. All the true summer crops are enjoying the heat, but it’s really not quite time for it to be this hot yet. There are still plenty of Spring vegetables that are […]
