Farm Happenings for September 23, 2020
Happy First Day of Fall! The temperature doesn't necessary feel like Fall but the leaves are starting to change color to signify Fall is here. Many apologies for sending out this email late but it has been a busy week for us as we are trying to get jobs done before the cooler weather ar1 read more »
Farm Happenings for September 16, 2020
Well, those rains we had sure did feel food! We got somewhere between 3-4 inches and the ground sure did need it! One downside is it caused some of the full size tomatoes to crack (they become so full of water they burst open) but fortunately it wasn't that many that cracked!

Farm Happenings for August 12, 2020

Farm Happenings for August 5, 2020
It's hard to believe but August is here! These cooler temperatures sure don't make it feel like August. Some of the heat loving summer crops aren't going to fruit as quickly as they "normally" would but it looks like by next week we will be back into the heat.
This week we are finishing up ha1 read more »
Farm Happenings for July 29, 2020
It's hard to believe that we are entering into the first week of August next week. I'm usually able to tell because the Summer Crops are really starting to produce, the State Fair is being advertised, the Des Moines' Farmers' Market is packed with people before kids start going back to school1 read more »
