It's Rainbow Time!

Posted on August 7th, 2024 by Farm Manager

Rainbow time is a special micro-season at the farm. It only lasts a few weeks while we're busy harvesting the full spectrum of colorful vegetables and then we look up and the fields are graced with full sky double arching rainbows day after day. Rainbows are one of the most beautiful sights nature has to offer, and we're filled with hope and awe to witness this ephemeral phenomenon. This week we're loading your shares with fresh blueberries, plump tomatoes, bright sweet peppers, crisp cucumbers, and plenty of aromatic herbs. On these hot summer days where cooking feels impossible, why not add some play in your day by making your own rainbow charcuterie board?

If you'd also like to save some of this vibrant color for the colder, darker months ahead, this is an excellent time to do it. You'll have the option to purchase bulk cases of our tomatoes, cucumbers, basil and peppers over the next few weeks, so take advantage while you can!

Enjoy!
