It seems like summer has abandoned us all of a sudden. We have been enjoying the cool nights and cool mornings working on the farm. What a pleasant change from only a week ago. It’s so nice to be outside again! As the weather is changing, so is the farm. […]

The farmers are back in the house. We had a great time down at Folly Beach. There were actually some waves, so Alex could go surfing every morning. We took walks on the beach, visited with friends along the tidal creeks, went to the Aquarium, ate well, and relaxed, hardly […]

Another hot week ahead of us. Somehow we keep heading out of the house and down to the fields to do battle. Since last Wednesday we’ve planted much of the Fall greens: all the kales, broccoli, cabbages, the last round of swiss chard, baby bok choi, kohlrabi, lettuces, and sowed […]

In farming the elements are rarely as you want them. There’s either too much or too little of rain, sun, wind, etc. We’ve gone from no rain in weeks and weeks to some nice thunderstorms over the past couple. Now we need it to stop raining, so we can get […]

Well, it looks like we’re made it through the worst of heat! We have worked hard to keep hydrated with the heat and humidity, Alex breaking out his wildly popular electrolite elixir at lunch time. The irrigation pump has been working away beautifully all week, and we’ll keep on pumping […]

This week is a real transition week, some of the first signs of summer with basil and summer squash in your boxes and the last of the Spring greens. This week’s collards will be the last green greens until the Fall. We will have swiss chard throughout the summer so […]

June is here, so soon. The rains of the past few days have been helpful and not so helpful. The crops responded by growing a visible amount over the past few days, so have the weeds. We were able to get quite a lot done on Monday despite the rains. […]
