Hello Folks! Well, here we go – the moment you have all been waiting for! I apologize for the delayed start, but the dry spring and late arrival of my crew set us back a bit. We have been working hard for you, racing to get ground prepped, seeds sown and seedlings transplanted, in between the bouts of rain. April was dry, which gave us a chance to plow and prepare fields but quickly required moving irrigation around the fields to germinate the seeds and keep tender young plants alive. (more…)

Hi Everyone, I wanted to give you the rundown on what you will encounter in your stock up shares. Otherwise, I may be inundated with emails containing photos of strange, unknown vegetables. What is it, and what the heck do I do with it? I can help with what it is and how it should be stored. As for how to prepare it -that’s what Google is for, right?  The share consists of a box and a bag… (more…)

Hello Folks, We have come to the end of another season. It has not been an easy one, but then they never are. We have done our best for you, through incredible heat and now a crazy drought. I am thankful for my fantastic crew, who have labored through it all with their perennial cheerfulness. And I am grateful for the support of you, the members. In spite of all the challenges, we have an excellent final share for you. We are tripling down on the root veggies and the brassicas and also have some nice greens for your eating pleasure. I wish you all Happy Holidays and a safe and healthy winter. (more…)

Hello All!  We received two-tenths of an inch of rain on Sunday night. It is not nearly what we needed, but still a help to the rye cover crop we have been planting. We are preparing for two very cold nights this week- mid-twenties for Tuesday and Wednesday. We are harvesting what we can and double covering as much as possible. This degree of cold can damage even the hardier crops such as broccoli and kale. We are doing as much as we can to preserve crops for the final weeks of the season. We are very heavy on the brassicas this week – with cauliflower and broccoli for all and Brussel’s sprouts as well, for most groups. (more…)

Hey Folks, It’s November! Can you believe it? Certainly not by the balmy temperatures, perhaps by the fact that it is dark at 6 PM. Still no rain and not much in sight. Dustbowl days continue… Nevertheless, we have a fabulous share for you this week. This may sound a bit immodest, but I think that you will agree. We are working hard for you! (more…)

Hi Everyone, Happy Halloween! Does anyone remember the year that it snowed on Halloween? Well, you won’t have to worry about that, this year – it seems we will be hitting eighty degrees on Thursday! I was planning on not mentioning the weather this writing, but I just couldn’t do it. It seems that the general public is beginning to realize just how dry it has been – I heard a DJ on the radio mention that there has been no significant precipitation in October. He still insisted that it was beautiful weather, but that maybe we could use some rain. Forty percent chance on Friday, fingers crossed. (more…)

Hi Folks! Beautiful weather we have been having, is it not? – unless you are a farmer! I am sure that you all are tired of hearing me complaining about the weather, but perhaps not as tired as I am of complaining. I hate to be a whiner, but I do need to keep you informed of what is happening on the farm. We had 5 consecutive nights of below freezing temperatures last week, not just a light frost, but a freeze. We covered as much as we could, but the tender crops cannot endure this degree of cold. And, of course , no rain and not much in sight. (more…)

Hello All! Every week we wonder what the weather will bring, will it rain, or will it shine, will we freeze or will we bake. This morning when I woke, I checked the weather on my phone, it said rain ending at 9:30. I looked out the window and it was dry as a bone, it seemed the rain ended before it began. (more…)

Hello all! So, still no rain and none in sight – oh well. The temperatures have been agreeable, but we are predicted to drop into the thirties for two nights at the beginning of next week. Hopefully, we will squeak by without a frost. (more…)
