August!

The busiest month of the farming season is here!

We are at the height of the farming season now...August is a culmination of all the tasks that happen on a farm.  We are planting the very last seeds in the greenhouse and the last transplants in the field.  The weeds are at their worst.  We have the day-to-day harvesting plus large storage harvests such as onions.  We need to start prepping fields for next year by plowing and cover cropping.  Needless to say, it's going to be a short blog this week!

At pick-up this week you will have a choice of herbs, tatsoi, carrots, choice of kale or chard, a mix of potatoes, cucumbers and squash, tomatoes, hot peppers, eggplant, leeks and onions.  The cooler temperatures are keeping those cherry tomatoes from ripening fast enough but maybe by next week. 

Flower share members!! The flowers have finally started to bloom!  Your first bouquet is waiting to be picked!
