Week 8

Hi Everyone,

Hot enough for ya? Today was a three dip day in the farm pond. Well, this past week apparently was Hollywood week here at the farm. Al Spoler, who co hosts "cellar notes" on WYPR and does TV work for MPT, stopped by with video camera in hand on Wednesday. He's working on an hour long TV special on local chefs, local food and local farms. Then Sunday morning Vicki Franz, owner and publisher of the monthly magazine "Arrive" dropped by to take some photos for an article their doing on local farms in their August issue. I'm figuring a call from Spielberg couldn't be to far off.

I had our first tomato on a sandwich for lunch today. Not enough yet for you all this week, but hopefully next week the tomato onslaught will begin. We've planted a huge variety. Many heirlooms and standard tomatoes along with cherry and grape tomatoes and some great sauce tomatoes too. I will have corn here a week from Wednesday 7/20. It will be $4 for you guys and $5-5.50 for the general public. That's for 13 ears. Remember it's not organic.

We hadn't planned on cucumbers for this week, but during my work around the place today, I noticed one then two and then many more, so cukes are in the crates this week along with:

Blueberries
Green Beans
Onions w/ a red onion included
Garlic
Cabbage
Beets
Summer Squash
Carrots
Rosemary
Peppers (not sure if they will be sweet or hot yet)
Cucumbers

See you Wednesday!

Steve and Vicky
