Farm Happenings for Week of September 6th

Posted on September 7th, 2021 by Kelly Morris

PICK UP HOURS: Pickup hours are Thursday 3pm-7pm, Friday 11am-7pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. Despite what day you chose when signing up for your share, you are welcome to come during any of our open hours. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before closing to give yourself time to gather your veggies. Our FALL HOURS begin on October 7th. Fall Hours will be Thursday 3pm-6pm, Friday 11am-6pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. 

FARM UPDATE: We got at least 5.5" of rain during last week's storm (that's all the bigger our rain gauge is!) Fortunately, our fields fared well through all that water. The popcorn was completely flattened, but that was the only major crop loss we suffered. We are grateful the bulk of the flooding and nasty weather missed us. 

Microgreens are back! We've had some crop loss and planting delays lately so in an effort to supplement shares, we grew microgreens. Microgreens are more than just fancy garnishes! They are super nutritious and can be used as the base for a salad, in place of lettuce on a sandwich or burger, or added to soups and smoothies. 

Thank you for your support! 

Your farmers, 
Katie, Elizabeth, Brad, Christina, Kelly, Matt and Nate
