Summer Week #3
We had a very disappointing vine patch last year - the squash bugs decimated almost everything! - and so we've vowed to beat them this year! They may have one a war, but we will win the battle!! And we are!! We've planted a larger vine patch than ever so we have plenty of room bet1 read more »
Summer Week 2... Summertime here we come!
Although the freeze set us back a week or so, we're heading into summer quite nicely! Summer squash is right around the corner with peppers hot on their tails (pun intended as we spotted little baby jalapenos during our garden walk today!). read more »

It's a race against time (and the weather) so we can give the crops as much time as possible to grow and develop. We've got all the t1 read more »
Spring Week #3: When life gives you a creek, float it!

Spring Shares Week #2
We're off to a great start! We're enjoying being out early again to harvest and watching the sun rise across the horizon as we do so. There's something magical about mornings and we love being able to witness the day come to life as we harvest. We're also in the midst of a lot of1 read more »
