The week started off very soggy and thwarted our plans to harvest beans, but we got lots of other good stuff done instead. We are very almost done with our sweet potato harvest and moved them all to their permanent home at our new farm's storage facility. Bryan also moved some of our tractor implements over to the new farm to prep ground for garlic and onion planting this week. We're also clearing out our high tunnels so that we can start disassembling them next week. We got cover crops in on our squash field which is another satellite site that we'll still be growing on next year. So much 2021 thinking already! We have an awesome new product available as an extra this week - honey from Chesapeake Queen Company! They have hives around Maryland and offer their honey in county-specific jars. They'll be moving some hives to our farm this winter and we're so excited about it! Stay tuned for recipes and other good stuff in our newsletter this weekend.
Farm Happenings for October 21, 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.
