Rain Reign
One of the biggest challenges this season has been the weather (not unlike every other season). But the weather challenge this year has been all the rain and more importantly its frequency. When we get rain every few days it doesn’t give us any time to farm. We can’t do ground work when it is […]

What Came First, the Egg or the Plant?
This season has been exactly like every other season we’ve ever had. And by that I mean like no others. Every season is unique. We’ve come to name them after the veggie that excelled in the given season. There was the carrot year, the tomato year and who could forget the year of the zucchini? […]
