We had another productive week at the farm! It was a bit sweaty early in the week, but the cool weather returned later. We're just about finished with our squash and potato harvests, and sweet potatoes are almost done too. We made a big dent in taking down the tomato stakes, with more clean up to follow shortly. We celebrated crew member Nora's birthday and got a rainbow as a present! Remember that this is the first week of the Fall Apple Share, so if you were signed up only for the Summer Fruit Share, you won't be getting fruit this week. You can still add a Fall Apple share if you like, just go to your Harvie account. Stay tuned for more farm news and recipes in the newsletter this weekend!
Farm Happenings for October 7, 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.
