Farm Happenings at Strawberry Hill Farm
Drowned Garden Plants
Relentless rain the past few weeks (with almost an inch of rain many days) has been hard on our crops. Lettuce and root crops have suffered most, but others are showing damage, too. We even almost lost some kale plants! And kale has been our most reliable producer over the years, in both wet and dr1 read more »
Rain, Rain, Go Away!
We’ve been having too many rainy days recently and not enough sun. The lettuce and zucchini seem to like it (Ron says our zucchini plants are the biggest we’ve ever had!), but it’s been hard on some of our other crops. Most of our garden soil has a lot of clay in it, so it t1 read more »
Blueberries and Lettuce
It’s sweet blueberry season at the farm, and we have plenty of blueberries at our online farm stand this week. Romaine lettuce and salad mix are abundant right now, too, but probably won’t be for long. We’ve reached those hot days of summer when new rows of salad mix have trouble1 read more »
It's Fresh Garlic Time!
We have a great crop of garlic this year! For once we haven’t had to harvest it early because of too much rain. We grow two varieties of hardneck garlic, German Extra Hardy and Russian Red. Fresh garlic is the essential ingredient in many great recipes. Its delicious flavor helps blend the fl1 read more »
Sweet Sugar Snaps
We have an abundant crop of sugar snap peas at the farm right now. These crunchy, edible pods contain sweet full-size peas. They’re delicious just as they are for a snack, or you can add them to a veggie tray to serve with dip. They’re a wonderful addition to stir-fry dishes, too1 read more »
Berries, Lettuce, and More
Produce is picking up at the farm, and now that we’re past last week’s almost constant rain we have more to offer. Raspberries and strawberries are both on this week’s list, plus a good amount of arugula, salad mix, and garlic scapes. We even have the first of our sugar snap peas!1 read more »
Where Are the Strawberries/
Our strawberries are producing now, so why aren’t they listed on our online farm stand? Because of the uncertain weather this week, we can’t predict how many quarts we’ll have available on Thursday. If we get the constant rain that is in the forecast, most of the berries could rot1 read more »
Strawberries On Hold
Just when you think you’ll have strawberries the next week—boom! Here comes cold weather again. The strawberries are ripening slowly, but we didn’t have enough to list on the farm stand this week. Next week we should have them (fingers crossed).
In the meantime, new on the list ar1 read more »
Produce Picking Up Slowly
Our spring crops have been slow this year, but we finally have some salad mix and arugula on the farm stand this week. We are also offering more bunches of radishes, but this might be the last of them because of the hot weather. Other items on the list this week are green onions, fresh mint te1 read more »
