I never thought I would ever say that I'm ready for it to get hot but I just might be. The cooler temperatures have been nice on one hand, but we're definitely noticing a difference in the speed of growth of our warm-loving crops like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, etc. Even our carrots took a month to germinate this spring because everything was so cold; they're now growing steadily and we're hoping for carrots (baby carrots, at least) in a couple of weeks, just FYI. We hope you all can make it out to our CSA Family Potluck this Saturday from 5 - 7p.m. Boot Hill Farm will be grilling up some chicken for all of us to enjoy. Then you can come out to the garden and check the progress of the plants yourself and hopefully give them some love and good vibes so they'll speed up, just a bit. See ya soon!

Summer Week 4 and we're waiting on the heat!
About the farm
We left the hustle and bustle of city life to raise our children in the country. Getting into agriculture is a decision we've never regretted! Now we lovingly grow fresh food together as a family on our small farm. It's food we trust, and you can too! We want to feed our children the best we can, so we grow high-quality fruits, vegetables, and meats - everything from Arugula to Zucchini; Chicken and pork! - all free of chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. We'd love to share what we grow with you!
