Farm Happenings for December 2, 2021
We are onto some of our final big jobs of the fall which include moving one of our hoophouses over top of our last leek crop. These leek will be dug all winter and the hoophouse keeps the soil from freezing solid. Then after the leek are harvested, we will be able to plant an extr1 read more »

Believe it or not, our lettuce will be coming from the field this week! This is likely the last week and then we move into our unheated hoophouses for lettuce and salad mixes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
While we are taking a break on our regular delivery boxes this week, our farmstand store is absolutely open for farm and market pickup orders. We have lots available too: bumper crops of broccoli and cauliflower; lots of delicious fall vegetables like squash, turnips, and1 read more »
Farm Happenings for October 7, 2021
Our rented cooler is filling up with our ongoing fall harvest. So far, celeriac (being harvested in the photo), kohlrabi, and about half of our cabbage and beets are out of the field. This time of year is always challenging balancing storage crops and winter preparations with our weekly harvest.
