Farm Update

Down on the Farm

Rain, rain, wonderful rain!  We needed it so badly.  You can water all you want, but it's just not the same to the plants as rain.  Vicky calls it the plants "vitamin water".  Just walking through the field, you can really see the new growth in just a day or two after a good rain like we had.  Actually received around 2 inches.

Our new market hours are now Wednesday-Sunday 10-6.  We have been going through the awkward transition, as we do every year, of going from self serve to full serve.  So just to repeat..Self serve done, full serve has begun.  Wednesday through Sunday 10am - 6pm.  Closed Monday and Tuesday.

In the market this week:

Red Russian Kale
Curly Siberian Kale
Red Radishes
Mild Salad Mix
Spicy Salad Mix
Arugula
Spinach (limited)
Spring Onions
Bok Choi
Mustard Greens
Butter Crunch Head Lettuce
Collards
Pac Choi Heads
Swiss Chard
Asparagus (limited)
Herb Plants
Eggs
Honey
Duck Eggs

We are working out the details for produce delivery to our area.  Is your relationship like this?  I want to find a used refrigerator truck for delivery.  Vicky thinks coolers with some sort of cooling contraption will be just fine.  I want a truck all painted up with vegetables all over it. Vicky thinks our farm pick up will do.  I want to wear some sort of old time milk man uniform. Vicky thinks I'm crazy.  We will keep you posted.

Hope to see you down on the farm.


 




 

Locally Yours,
Vicky and Steve
