Addendum to The Sixth Sense
Just a quick addendum to the last newsletter to fill you in on a couple of things regarding this week’s shares. First, our wash team got a bit too aggressive with the fennel while trying to get all the dirt out of the nooks and crannies. It looked sparkling clean when it went into the […]
The Sixth Sense
I wrote the below newsletter early in the pandemic and at the time I thought better of sending it out. I didn’t want to offend anyone (is “sudden consideration” one of the early signs of a COVID infection?) Now that sufficient time has passed I feel it is a good time to finally publish it. […]
Warm Crop, Cool Crop
I have to say that this season has been one of the most challenging farm seasons I can recall, mostly because I don’t really remember past seasons much. But if I had a good memory I believe this would still be one of the most challenging (wait, there can only be one most challenging. Maybe […]
Oh Deer! Book II
Farm News I may have been a bit rash in my analysis of what was eating our lettuce, beets, chard and other veggies. Based on my observations of what appeared to be deer hoof prints poked through the plastic mulch I immediately assumed it must be deer. It is only logical, right? Well, let me […]

Extreme Farming

Thanks Mulch!
It seems like our switch over to a new newsletter email delivery scheme was fairly uneventful. Hopefully everyone who wants to receive the newsletter via email is receiving it via email and those who don’t want it have figured out how to unsubscribe. If you are not receiving this by email and would like to […]
New Email Service
Just a quick message to let you know we have switched to a new newsletter email delivery system. With Google closing down its Feedburner email delivery service sometime in the near future we had to find a replacement and have chosen Mailchimp. To try to make it easy for members of the farm and others […]
