Hello Everyone – I suppose that I don’t need to tell you that it’s been raining way too much! We are headed toward 4” for the week, but the farm is far enough inland that it is probably less than what most of you received.

Hello Everyone! Wow, I can’t believe it is the end of July already – summer is just flying by! And the weather has been unusually reasonable for mid-summer in New Jersey. The humidity and temperature will be climbing for a few days but should moderate by mid-week. We are hoping for a little rain – emphasis on a little!

Hi Folks! So the everyday rain seems to have abated and the temperatures moderated – at least for now. Hopefully we can get back on track with the planting schedule. It is time to plant lots of carrots for the fall crop and more spinach and beets, just to name a few things. So far we have been lucky – no damage from wind or hail, which has been around with these strong storms. (more…)
