Farm Happenings at Hoot Owl Farm
CSA Week #7 - Pick Up
We don't have a lot of 4th of July decor to offer, but we did hit our mark of having 'Fireworks' carrots by Independence Day. You'll start seeing 'rainbow' carrots as an option in your boxes now that the first batch has come to maturity. YES! We will be at the market tomorrow, 3-6:30. YES! If neede1 read more »
CSA Week #6 - Customize
It's been a long week! We're trying to get through our to do list today, but it's looking like several items will get bumped to next week. Don't worry, that's pretty much how it always goes, in fact, we're not sure that we've EVER actually completed a to do list on the farm. It's more of a n1 read more »

So we're offering them up to you guys as add ons to your boxes this week! We've already written a note fo1 read more »
CSA Week #4 - Pick Up
It's time to pick up your share this week. We're excited to see you at pick up, but we doubt you'll be able to rival the enthusiasm of these two (though we challenge you to try!).
We're just catching our breath after a very busy packing morning followed by a big afternoon of planting. We mana1 read more »
CSA Week #3 - Customize
This past week was a stressful one on the farm! The surprise frost warning did it's job and warned us with (just barely) enough time to protect our sensitive crops. And though we were cursing it at the time, we are very grateful for the warning because it turned out that we did get signi1 read more »
