Hello Folks, I hope you all had a pleasant Independence Day and a relaxing long weekend. Of course, here on the farm our weeks do not end – there is just too much work to be done. Although it is officially summer now, we have some wonderful spring onions for you this week. These are a sweet, heirloom variety – Ailsa craig – which we send with the tops still attached. Some of the greens can be used like scallions, or you can use them to make a soup stock. They are not good keepers, so keep them in the fridge and use them within a week or two. (more…)
Welcome to Summer Squash season!

Tomorrow I will make the second planting of beets and the third planting of carrots. (more…)
Calorie for calorie, leafy green vegetables like spinach provide more nutrients than any other food. Spinach is thought to have originated in ancient Persia. Spinach made its way to China in the 7th century when the king of Nepal sent it as a gift to this country. Spinach has a much more recent history in Europe than many other vegetables. It was only brought to that continent in the 11th century, when the Moors introduced it into Spain. In fact, for a while, spinach was known as “the Spanish vegetable” in England. (more…)
