We’ve made it through the bulk of the season! Rounding the corner around Labor Day always feels nice. The season is waning, though there’s still more to do on the farm than there are hours in the day to do them all. But mentally, the workload seems a little lighter. […]

We’ve made it back from our vacation. Now we need a vacation from our vacation. The interns seemed to have done a good job keeping the farm moving forward. But there’s no rest for the weary now. We are again looking ahead in a time of transition on the farm. […]

It is 47 degrees out here Wednesday morning! I spent the night dreaming about frost covered pepper plants and hauling row cover around to protect them after it was too late. Is it really Christmas in July? Pretty strange weather. Despite the inch of rain we got on Sunday night […]

We’re glad that the rain has stopped, at least for the time being. It’s a bit counter intuitive, but rain is not good. We would prefer mild drought conditions. It’s also a little ironic that as farmers we like to be in control of our fields, crops, etc., but in […]

The farmers are back from a nice little Fourth of July camping vacation with family. If you made it by the Saturday market, the interns did a great job in our absence. Summer veggies are really starting to kick in this first week of July. Tomatoes and eggplant have made […]

It was a long, hot week last week. The crew was moving and lifting heavy bales of hay around the farm to mulch between beds much and the week and it about wore everyone out. But the mulching is basically completed for the season (still the sweet potatoes to go) […]

As always it’s been a busy week on the farm. More plants into the ground! Three beds of popcorn, the second round of sweet corn, the first bed of melons, more sunflowers were all planted as well as the sorghum being sown. Over the weekend our neighbor baled our hay […]

All good things must come to an end and they have in terms of strawberries. There will be just a few pints available for sale at market. There may be a few on Saturday, but that will be it until next next year. So sad. But as one thing finishes […]
