This is su1 read more »

We sang (and danced!) in the rain late last week!!  We could always use more but we're very grateful for what moisture we were able to get. ;)  We're wrapping up some projects on the farm so we can be geared up and ready for fall.  We'll be putting up 3 new high tunnels this fall so1 read more »

It's just about tomato time!  More and more are ripening each day and they will (probably) be a full-blown offering next week.  In the meantime, you can grab some complimentary ones in the take or swap box to tie you over.  We've been grateful for a couple of mornings of cloud cover1 read more »

Farm Happening for Summer #5

The heat is back, and while I can't say that we love it, it seems to have solved our zucchini/summer squash problem... The zucchini and summer squash weren't growing very quickly... But now that it's hot, that problem seems to be resolved and we're back to harvesting every day to keep from getting1 read more »
