We planted thousands of onions earlier this spring with the help of many volunteers. And now it's time to start harvesting them! Right now they are small and sweet, and we're giving them to you with the greens still attached. Chop off the greens when you get home and reserve them and use them just as you would green onion greens. They're super yummy in egg dishes, in stir fries or sautés, or in salads. The onion bulb can, of course, be used just as you would an onion, but be aware it won't store as long as a typical onion will because it hasn't been "cured". That will happen later this summer and we'll have onions that can store through the fall and winter. But for now, we'll enjoy sweet early onions! Yum! Also this week we have our Summer Smorgasbord again with a variety of summertime crops that are slowly coming into production - cucumbers, yellow summer squash, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower.

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!
