Looks like we have summer for a few more days this week! The big event of last week was the harvesting of the honey. Dave — my bee partner — came over to assist. It is good to have someone who knows bees and has the right equipment. The first step in harvesting the honey […]

I think the farming season is finally getting to me. Maybe it is the lack of highs in the 90s. Maybe it is the 3000+ squash we harvested last week. Maybe it is the thought that there is only five more weeks left this season. But whatever the reason I think I am going nuts. […]

AmphibianShare I forgot to mention AmphibianShare for this week will be salamanders. Garlic Planting Party I also forgot to mention the Garlic Planting Party scheduled for Saturday October 15th from 10:00 am until we are done. It is a great opportunity to get out in the beautiful fall weather and start the 2012 season off […]

Tomatillo and Corn Salsa
I invented this recipe for Taco Salad Night (a special event in our house), using corn cut from a couple ears of raw corn. Frozen corn can be substituted. I love lime, so I use a tablespoon of fresh lime juice, however if you’d like a more subtle lime flavor then feel free to start […]

Since we love our job we can’t stay away for three whole days in a row. So we are open and delivering on Labor Day! If you pick-up your produce on Mondays please plan to do so on Labor Day. As we were having lunch the other day we were reminiscing about last season and […]
Pasta Norma
I thank the Italians for this delicious dish featuring eggplant. I also thank Jamie Oliver for his delicious version, but I highly recommend including the optional Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes because they give the dish that *wow* factor that makes you want to eat the leftovers for breakfast, unable to wait all those hours until […]
