Farm Happenings for December 19, 2024
We are finally picking a decent amount of cauliflower, seems like everything has been pushed back this year as far as timing goes.

We have a rainy, wet start to the week with cooler temps on the way, thankfully its not bitter cold with the rain, that always makes it a bit harder to get out in the fields!

Despite the warmer weather, we have brussels coming along nicely and I am thinking we may start harvesting some this week! Broccoli has started but it really hasn't exploded yet and the small quantity we did pick isn't the best looking to say the least. Good news is we have a bunch more of it comin1 read more »

Foggy mornings at the farm have been the norm for the last couples of days, hard to see the other end of the plot in most of the fields. It has been in the high 50's in the mornings and then rising to mid to high 80's in the afternoon, crazy to thing November is here and the next cold front is no w1 read more »
