Farm Happenings at Sungrounded Farm
Bracing for the heat wave...
I'm sure you're not too thrilled about this heat, and the veggies aren't either.

On the farm this week we're doing everything we ca1 read more »
Tomatoes are here!
Summer has finally arrived on the farm, and the tomatoes are starting to flow.

One more hard frost and green garlic
It feels like spring on the farm as we plant more and more into the field, but to the eye it looks like we're growing a field of sheets! Check it our when you come by, we use this 'row cover' to protect our crops from the prolific cold nights this time of year. It gives them a little ex1 read more »
Radishes, Greens and Greens!
This week we're featuring Spring Radishes! Maybe you're getting the feeling that we weren't kidding when we said this seasonal share would be a lot of greens with some roots and herbs.
