Another dry week is in the books, and I don't like it. It is the driest we have ever seen during potato harvest time, and we are close do doing the unthinkable, irrigate the fields before harvest. It is what it is and we will get by.
Also, did you see the Northern lights this week? We did and I'm not crossing it off the bucket list because it seems fishy to me, and I still want to go to Iceland.
This weekend is the Country Fair down by the river front in Riverhead, and their is a fun pumpkin craft contest for kids of all ages to enter. Also, backyard gardeners can enter different vegetable and fruit contests to see who has the best looking goods.
This week we will have a treat from a Local Fisherman out in the Peconic Bay. You guessed it, fresh Oysters from Captain Matt from Peconic Gold Oysters. Check him out on Instagram at @peconicgoldoysters to see all the cool behind the scenes that go into Oyster farming in the Long Island waters.
Have a great weekend!
Your farmer,
John
