Farm Update

We sold some Fall zucchini and I have pictures! Yes, they all laughed when I said I was going to grow fall summer squash.  They smirked when I said I thought it could be done.  They turned away when I invited them to help and chortled when I said we might just pull this off.  Well, guess what, all you doubters out there, vine has been done!  Ok, there was only 4 zucchini for sale today, but they were fresh picked this morning and customer Carol Knickman bought them.  I hear what you're all saying, "But Steve, we don't care.  We were sick of summer squash in July!"  Whatever. We just had the soil from our various fields tested.  It's really pretty interesting to get the analysis back and find out how it stacks up with organic matter, minerals and such and what we can add to make it better for our growing purposes.  Apparently it's just perfect to grow summer crops such as squash in the fall.  Seriously, if you're planning on planting a few things or a lot of things, it's a good idea to get your soil tested so you can add the amendments  (organic only please) it needs to produce maximum growth and quality.  We do our sampling through the Mill in Bel Air.  It's $15 per sample.  Heck, you can make that back in squash alone! We will not be open this Saturday, but will be open next Wednesday 10/23 10-6 and Saturday 10/26 9-noon Looks like Wednesday's bounty will be: Broccoli Cauliflower Green Peppers Turnips Swiss Chard Radishes Mild Salad Mix Arugula Kale Spinach Chicken Eggs Honey

See you soon! Locally yours, Vicky and Steve
