Farm Happenings at Hoot Owl Farm
CSA Week #16 - Pick Up
Making gladiolus and dahlia bunches is a nice end to the day on Wednesdays! Our glads are starting to slow down as most of them have bloomed (they are a one cut type of flower), but our dahlias are really ramping up (when you cut a dahlia, the plant bushes and grows more!). So we should be able to1 read more »
CSA Week #15 - Customize
Well here's a good pic of most of the crew for a before market lunch on Thursday. Not many of us had heard about the traditional Italian snack of melon & prosciutto (or shall I say, Prosciutto e Melone). So we were in for a real treat when Hans and Mark treated us all to the dish with a melon s1 read more »
CSA Week #15 - Pick Up
It's pick up time! If you've somehow missed out on melons thus far, be sure to grab one at the market or at the Amish Farm to Market Store. They are plentiful this week, but all melon-seasons must come to an end and this one will certainly end before we're ready to quit eating them!
We are making p1 read more »
CSA Week #14 - Customize
It's week #14, hard to believe isn't it? We're deep in the middle of our next big harvesting task -- onions. We've got a good amount of onions harvested and drying out, and another even better amount still in the field to be harvested early next week. Once the onions have dried for a couple of week1 read more »
CSA Week #14 - Pick Up
Well, it's happened again...melon season sneaked up and caught us unawares. We weren't actually unaware, Rudy had been scoping out the melon patch daily checking for ripeness, but we weren't able to bank on ripe melons when we made our estimate for boxes last Friday and well...now we have ripe melo1 read more »
CSA Week #13 - Customize
Yay! It's finally tomato time - we're putting a lot more tomatoes into our estimate for next week. We also do some harvesting over the weekend, so sometimes we're able to increase our estimated quantity of certain items. So it's a good idea to check back if what you're looking for was gone initiall1 read more »
CSA Week #13 - Pick Up
We're guessing that some of you had some real evidence of just how fresh your shares are after last week's pick up...we harvested the big basil bunches right before packing boxes. We wouldn't be surprised if a couple of you ended up with a previous resident (caterpillar, spider, ladybug...) in your1 read more »
CSA Week #12 - Customize
Your customization email is a bit late this week. One reason is that it was SOO hot yesterday, that we went straight to the river after work instead of straight to the internet! But another is so we could finish ironing out the details of a great extra that we have available this week: Flathead Che1 read more »
CSA Week #12 - Pick Up
It's time to pick up! And there are a lot of items to be added on besides what will fit into your box this week, so take a minute to double check us. We try VERY hard to make sure you guys get exactly what you ordered, even creating little checks and balances to keep us paying close attention, but1 read more »
