Three’s a Cloud
Since I have some spare time to write a newsletter this week, and the spare time is due to all the rain we have been getting lately, I thought an appropriate column this week would focus on the various effects on the farm – both positive and negative – of all this rain. So let’s […]
Trials and Tribulations
Each year we trial new and different varieties of vegetables to see if we can discover something unique that our members would enjoy. This year is no different. One of the items we are trialing is a broccoli cross called “Happy Rich”. It is a small headed broccoli that is sweeter than typical broccoli and […]
Oh No Don’t Let the Rain Come Down
It has been a busy week this past week. One wouldn’t think it’d be so with all the rain but there is always stuff to do here on the farm. I’ll get to that in a second. But first, thank you to all who showed up to help plant the potatoes! It was a great […]
Potato Planting Party

We have onions available for sale. They are approximately 10 pounds for $5. Quite the steal! Contact me if you’d like to purchase a […]
Without Herbs, Life Itself Would be Impossible
First a few announcements. Facebook followers. I just want to point out to everyone who follows us on Facebook that on average people who “like” pages only see 6% of what that page posts – unless that page owner is willing to pay Facebook for more exposure. Yes, only 6%. And their goal is to […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
The 2014 spring season is underway! Unlike professional baseball, professional farming does not pay well enough to move the operation to Florida during the spring. So we manage by growing our plants inside. It’s kind of like having a domed stadium but without all the public subsidies on a much smaller scale. But before we […]
