CSA Week #2 - Pick Up
Second succession of melons is planted (pic above)! We're really working hard to have both MORE melons this year and also have ripe melons for a longer stretch of time.

Pop-Up Week #21 - Order
The big change for the farm this week is that the Farmers Market is over, so our weekly schedule will change a bit and there will be a pretty marked slow down in our farm tasks. A good thing too, and we'll be starting with tasks that we haven't done in quite a while: bed clean up, spreading compost1 read more »
Pop-Up Week #21 - Pick Up
There's a lot going on in this picture - I mean, even besides the carrot posing going on by Ethan and Hans in the front! We are harvesting bulk carrots here, and it's a whole crew activity and it takes a LONG time. So the more people working together the better. We're still less than half way done1 read more »
