Farm Happenings for September 25, 2019
Hopefully after today (Sunday 9/22) we'll get a bit of respite from both the rain and the humidity! I can't remember any September in past seasons when we've had a heat index top 100 degrees but it happened this year! The heat and rain have been great for the crops but makes it awful ha1 read more »

Farm Happenings for August 7, 2019
Last week was an extraordinarily busy week at the Farm because we had a couple extra things on our "plate". The first thing was our annual Organic Inspection last Tuesday. I'm very proud to be a Certified Organic Farmer/Farm and take it very seriously! I'm known for taking it so s1 read more »
Farm Happenings for July 31, 2019
It seems like in the recent past we were just starting to plant the first seeds and plants into the ground in between rains.
