Downward Dug
This Saturday we had a group of yoga instructors from Core Power Yoga on Grand Avenue come out to help on the farm. There were around 12 or so of the most fit and flexible volunteers we’ve ever had. It was a beautiful day with moderate temperatures, which was unfortunate for those who like hot […]
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? […]
Garlic Digging Event Canceled
Since there was no interest the garlic digging event is canceled. I suppose since there is no interest this message is probably not needed…

As the Worm Turns
The farm is especially busy this time of year. As everyone knows, we are harvesting lots of delicious veggies. But we also have to manage the weeds, deal with the pests and fight plant diseases. We also are still planting crops. Last week we planted the fall beets, the second planting of beans and the […]
Shucks and Awe
This is the time of the season when I run out of topic ideas for newsletters. The time when I am looking for inspiration. Something to talk about that would be of interest to our membership. I was sitting at the computer last night stymied as to what to write, and then this came along: […]
