How Sweet It Is!
Is it time to eat the sweet potatoes? Find out below. But first, I want to make sure everyone is aware that our veggie season is over. If you show up at the farm this next week to pick-up your vegetables you will be put to work. It would be the only logical reason you […]
Reflections
Last week of the 2014 season! Please plan accordingly. As the season comes to an end so does my inspiration for newsletters. But first here are a couple announcements. Onions for sale. 10#s of delicious storage onions for $15. Last chance for delivery to drop sites. Shallots for sale. 5# for $10. Quite the steal. […]
Lessons Learned
Thank you to all who helped with this year’s garlic planting. We planted over 30 cloves! Actually it is closer to 6500 but we lost count at 30. After the planting we had some delicious food including butternut squash chili, Mexican bean salad, potato salad, fruit salad, garlic confit, pumpkin bundt cake and German apple […]

Our Garlic Planting Gala is scheduled for October 4th from 1:00 to 5:00 with dinner and bonfire to follow. We have a few victims, er, volunteers already signed-up but could use […]
Frogs on the Pumpkins!
Yep, we had frogs on the pumpkins last week. We also had frost on the pumpkins. I prefer frogs. At first I felt we had more warning of the upcoming frost. But thinking about it further I realized we didn’t have more warning, we had more experience. I don’t think any of the weather forecasts […]
The F-word
It has been so busy these last few weeks that I never got around to writing a newsletter last week. Since nobody asked about it I wonder if anyone missed it… Anyway, it is about to get even busier. The forecast for Friday night is 39 degrees. What does this mean for the farm? Well, […]
