Farm Update


Hi Everyone,

Thought it was about time for an update. It's been awhile. It's been a busy week planting all the summer goodies. By tomorrow evening, if all goes well, we will have in the ground; potatoes, cucumbers, green beans, pole beans, tomatoes, summer squash, sweet corn and beets. Our sweet potato slips should arrive any day for planting. The asparagus is still coming and we have some salad greens and arugula available. We've been getting some calls about our strawberries and they're getting there. We're getting a few ripe berries now, but it will be another week or so to open the new field for picking. The blueberries are blossoming well and the garlic...Holy Cow! The garlic plants this year are huge! We are keeping all of our herbs together in one plot this year so some of the many gorgeous chive plants had to go. If you're interested in a chive plant or four please stop by soon and you can take your pick before they go in the compost pile. We have chives, oregano and thyme available now. Along with those we have planted parsley, basil, tarragon, and rosemary. They smell so good! It would be nice to have an in-house herb garden so you could smell them all year round!

We'll be placing some of the available produce in the egg cooler so you can self serve those items as well. That doesn't mean we don't want to chat or help you if you need it and don't be afraid to honk your horn. We just know that some like to "grab and go"!

Have a nice Memorial Day weekend if we don't see you before.

Vicky and Steve
