Farm Happenings at Strawberry Hill Farm
Tomatoes and Beans Galore!
The high heat these days, along with some much-needed rain, are bringing on lots of tomatoes and green beans. We have lots of Galahad tomatoes, which are firm, round red tomatoes. We've been pleased with their sweet flavor. We also have a good amount of Amish Paste tomatoes—large, meaty tomat1 read more »
Grateful for Rain and Fresh Tomatoes!
We're giving thanks for the inch plus of rain we had on Saturday and Sunday. Things were pretty parched, so the growing things are giving thanks, too. Tomato season is now in full swing, and we have lots of tomatoes available this week.

Tomato Season!
The weather continues to be hot and dry, with no new rain since we wrote last week. The lettuce is now done for the near future, waiting for the cool, moister days of autumn. But thank goodness, the tomatoes have started in earnest! Now tomato salads and BLTs are on the menu. The cherry tomato1 read more »
Beets and Blessed Rain
We finally had almost an inch of rain in the past few days, and the gardens are already looking better. The beets are doing well, and we have plenty on the order list this week. Beets are delicious boiled until tender, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then tossed with butter. Or grate r1 read more »

We've had some rain in the past week at the farm, but only a few tenths of an inch. Some crops are still having a rough time. There's not much lettuce, and the green beans have shut down. It will take some time for them to produce beans again.
New this week: We have started digging potatoes and are1 read more »
Hot, Dry Days of Summer!
It's been hot and dry on the farm for all of July, with only 4/10 inch of rain the whole month. It's taking a toll on our crops, especially the lettuce, mint, and green beans. Even though we irrigate for a couple hours each day, the high heat is "frying" things anyway. At least the berries are stil1 read more »
Fresh Eggs for a Down-on-the-Farm Meal
At the farm we have many meals with our pastured eggs—and not for breakfast! One of the easiest meals to fix (and great for hot days) is scrambled eggs with various additions, and of course, cheese on top! Here are some ideas.

Fragrant, Delicious Fresh Garlic!
Our packing shed at the farm is smelling fragrant these days with the scent of fresh garlic. We have now harvested all of our German Extra Hardy and Russian Red hardneck garlic. (See below for two delicious garlic recipes.)

We have fresh garlic!
We've just harvested our first garlic of the season, and it's available this week from the farm stand! We also have more fresh red raspberries and sugar snap peas. Sorry to those who missed them last week!
