Flowers, Salads, and Pesto

We have certainly been enjoying this week of cooler temperatures on the farm! It seems like a time to catch our breath before the slide into summer is official. The sky offers dramatic scene changes from puffy white clouds to blankets of grey, and the question of rain lingers in the back of our minds. In the greenhouse, we are in our final weeks of seeding kales and...

Late Spring Musings

This spring I tilled up a garden plot in our backyard for my four-year old daughter. The edge of our farm fields are literally mere feet away and millions of plants are endlessly calling out for tending, and yet planting a garden seemed the thing to do.

Welcome, Springtime Heat!

Wow, Spring heat has hit us full force this year! Here on the farm we are rolling with it, suddenly able to harvest much more varieties of fresh crops and using up the last of our stored roots. It is exciting and energizing! Your CSA this week will be packed with goodies to make salads and my favorite: Iced Mint Tea. I recommend getting a big pitcher if you don’t...
