Farm Happenings at Mulberry Moon Farm
Veggie Share - Week 11
We are officially into our second half of the season! And with it, finally we got a good dosing of rain. The field was needing it, because no matter how much we irrigate, it really doesn't replace a good downpour of rain. The fall Brassicas (turnip, cabbage, winter radish, bok choy) are respo1 read more »
Veggie share - Week 10
Week 10 has arrived - our half-way point! What a journey we've been through so far... thanks for taking the journey with us :)
Our beans are ready! Yesterday, we cooked up our first quart by parboiling them, then pan-frying them with garlic and lemon juice. This was soooo good. With another t1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 9
Happy August, everyone!
August always marks a turning point for me on the farm. In the early mornings, the sky is still dark, and the air has a coolness to it. The evenings come earlier as well. But in the middle of the day, it's hot and the cicadas are singing in unison. My arms are stinging1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 8
We had a great time harvesting our garlic yesterday! It took us only an hour to pick it all - with about 17 people! The garlic is really healthy looking and we've got some nice big heads. It was nice to have the help and fun to introduce people to a kind of physical labour they are not used to.&nbs1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 7
This update is going to be short and sweet because we are currently at the family cottage with our fam. Blueberry pancakes (wild blueberries picked yesterday, we just love harvesting so much we can't stop!) are sizzling on the stove, children are wanting to be played with, and the river is calling.1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 6
This is always such an exciting time of the summer, when the harvest really begins to ramp up, summer veggies beginning to replace the spring ones. The first harvests of a crop are so fun - the first peas, the first carrots, the first tomatoes, zucchinis, beans (hopefully a couple weeks??), and so1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 5
Good afternoon!
Let me regale you with some stories from our field walk this morning. Zucchinis are ready in the field! Now, we don't have as many as we would like to because, as we told you before, so many got eaten before they could even sprout. We transplanted out the new zucchinis last we1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 4
Hi everyone!
We've definitely felt a shift in the farm this week as the weather has continued to be so warm. Our peas are in FULL FORCE now - shelling peas, and sugarsnap peas (the ones that you can eat whole, pod and all). We have a second planting that will be flowering too so we're expecting to1 read more »
Veggie Share - Week 3
With the summer solstice behind us, and temperatures rising, it really feels like we are finally in the land of summer. We are finally setting up the irrigation in our field - it feels a little funny that this is now a concern, after the wettest spring ever! Even as I write this, the wind is pickin1 read more »
