This week was really all about the tomatoes! We've spent many human hours harvesting them this week, and there is a huge abundance! Cherries and big tomatoes are all really peaking right now, so now's a great time to get your tomato salads, BLTs and caprese salads on. We also did our first big regular season potato crop harvest this week, so our cooler is bursting full of delicious produce! This rainy end of the week is helping our plants once again - the rain from last week got sucked up super fast since the soil had been so dry. It's hard to believe it's the end of July! There's still so much to do and we're really in the thick of it. But in the cold depths of winter when we're craving a tomato sandwich, we'll have to reflect back on this moment. Stay tuned for the return of our farm tour videos in our newsletter this week, plus lots of great tomato recipes!
Farm Happenings for August 5, 2020
About the farm
Good Dog Farm is a 25-acre vegetable farm in Upperco, Maryland. We are a Certified Naturally Grown farm and use beyond organic growing practices. By farming with the health of our land and customers as our guide, we ensure you the highest quality and safest produce. We use sustainable growing practices to protect our soil and waterways. We supply our customers in the Baltimore and DC regions with delicious, nutritious food that’s always fresh.
We founded the farm in June of 2016. We grow vegetables year-round thanks to our two high tunnels. Our farm provides a diversity of crops for our Community Supported Agriculture program plus wholesale quantities of unique varieties of storage crops like potatoes, winter squash and sweet potatoes.
Our name comes from our shared love of our three dogs, who remind us to live simply and have fun every day.
