Hello Folks,

I know it’s hard saying goodbye, especially to your fresh vegetables, but we have reached the end of the season. We are in the process of making one final push to glean what we can from what is left in the fields. (more…)

Hi Folks, We had a great start to the season, with many greens and unusually bountiful shares. As we head into mid-summer, greens generally become more scarce, and in this accelerated season we arrived at this point sooner than normal. (more…)

Hi Folks, I am happy to report that the farm received nearly 2 inches of rain this past Friday night into Saturday morning, much more than expected and a bit more than was needed, but nevertheless a huge relief. We were spending too much time moving sprinklers around and thus unable to begin preparing ground for the fall planting which will begin soon. (more…)

Hi Folks, I hope everyone had a pleasant Fourth of July weekend. We don’t take much of a break for the holiday here at the farm. Monday was a regular workday and I spent most of yesterday on a marathon mission to finish planting the winter squash. I confess that I did catch some blues music and fireworks (ooh-ahh) in the nearby town of Sparta. The lack of rain in the last 2 weeks has us moving the irrigation equipment around from field to field, a task that interferes with our other pressing duties. (more…)

Hello Everyone, Well, it was a scorcher of a week! It’s summertime in New Jersey just like I remember it – hot and humid. While the hot warm weather crops such as the tomatoes and peppers have been in their glories, the cool weather plants have been looking quite dejected- wilting and droopy. Fortunately the heat wave is predicted to break and we will have some milder temperatures by mid-week. (more…)

Hi Folks, The first round of deliveries seems to have gone fairly well, from all reports. Some lucky groups got broccoli last week, an item that wasn’t on the list. Those that did not, will receive it this week. We are beginning to cut summer squash, though not in great quantity, so we will begin a similar delivery rotation with this crop until we have more in 2 weeks. (more…)

Hi Folks, The week you have been waiting for has arrived, the first delivery. We have lots of nice stuff in store for the be- ginning of the season. The spinach looks beautiful as do the lettuces and the peas have been flowering profusely. (more…)

Hello Everyone, The battle is in full swing now and we are completely and exhaustingly engaged. Make no mistake about it; producing quality vegetables is a battle from start to finish. It’s quite amazing how many critters there are that want to dine on your veggies before they can make it to your plate. (more…)

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a pleasant Thanksgiving and were able to incorporate much of last weeks share in your feast. At this point the fridge is probably full of leftovers, but you will need to make some space for this final share. (more…)
