Due to some upcoming events and a desire to have some pictures at our market stand this season, we finally put a full color photo album together highlighting pictures of the plot. Big shout out to Kerig Taylor for processing (Cord Camera), Spink for picking out the arts and crafts tools, and Victoria Avi for […]
Today we took two samples of soil from our SPIN beds and from our raised beds. We will send this in to a lab to learn more about what is in the soil and where we may need amendments. We used a soil probe to collect the sample. Since we waited so long, we had […]
A couple weeks ago we pickled some of our garlic in order to make it last longer. We still have several bulbs of garlic to enjoy through winter. Garlic just makes everything better! Here is a short slide show of planting, harvesting and curing garlic. Quite a process and so worth it!
The Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) has done it. The are suing Monsanto! Can you believe that? They actually filed on behalf of 60 farmers (they have since added 23 more) all they way back on March 29, 2011. I just found out about this because they have a big court date coming […]

Although garlic offered a nice complement to our market (scapes in June and garlic throughout the latter half of the season), we have scaled back our production a bit this year. Partly […]
After a brutal season for carrots, we finally have a successful bed…
We don’t usually sell tomatoes or peppers at the market….but we are tired of canning so we’ve brought a basket of extras today. And we are trying an experiment allowing customers to name their own price. We’ll see how it goes. Post update: Well, I don’t think we’ll be doing this experiment again. Some people […]
Cold temps at night? Time for greens! Hoop house is full of flats ready to transplant…
It has been a busy year! We are starting to feel it and the recent fall-like weather has us thinking of fall eats. We recently planted kale, spinach and lettuce…all of which love cool weather. And, we have a great looking bed of arugula and greens to sell this week. August was a great month […]
I cannot believe it’s August already! Where is the summer going? We have been busy at the farm continuing to experiment and find smarter ways to grow great organic produce (we are not certified, but we don’t use any chemicals on the farm!). We recently learned many of our carrot beds are lost due to […]
