This week, despite summery temps, we continued the transition towards fall. We had our first good sized storage harvest, bringing in just shy of 5000 lbs of carrots from less than half of the field. In fact, all the winter squash and root crops are coming in so heavy that we ran out of bulk storage1 read more »

As we round out the last full week of September, we are appreciating the crisp nights, changing leaves, and impending slow-down that will accompany the end of pepper harvest in a couple of weeks. Tonight's forecast low of 39°F reminds us that frost is not far off, so we've been busy harvesting1 read more »

Greetings,

Greetings,
We are slowly adjusting to our new lives as a family of four! Karin and I welcomed baby Welby to the world on Wednesday, Sept 1.

Courtesy of Justin: As if a switch was flipped, it seems we have suddenly begun our swift transition to Fall. Temperatures are pleasant and mild during the day and refreshingly cool at night.

We increased our crew size by two last week with the addition of Sergio and Monika, who came up from Texas borderlands to work in Minnesota this summer. They're our "pepper season" reinforcements, allowing us to complete CSA harvest, wash, and pack a bit quicker early week so we can fit in o1 read more »

We are enjoying some beautiful days here this week. So nice to see the sky without smoke! We also got a good rain last weekend, although it did bring with it some wind that caused lodging (falling over) of plants in some of our fields - sweet corn and peppers, primarily. We were still able t1 read more »
Farm Share Week 10 Newsletter
Greetings,
We have arrived at box #10, meaning we are about halfway through the summer season. I thought it would be a good time for a quick update on some of the fall and winter crops. In the header image for this newsletter, you see one of our fall brassica plantings, containing storage cabbage a1 read more »
