After this weekend, I think it’s fair to say that we all feel the summertime (finally) setting in. Here at the farm we’ve been able to get more plants in the ground, more varieties of delicious vegetables into our CSA shares, Farmstand, and farmers market tables, and prepare for the busiest part of our year.

And with the flush of beautiful weather comes more beach days, barbecues, and camping trips for us to enjoy (and hopefully cook up some great, local produce). And what is a day outside in the summer without a great playlist to go along with it? I thought it would be nice to share some songs that are going on my summer playlist, and hopefully you enjoy them too!

“The Swimming Song” – Loudon Wainwright III
“Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” – Lucinda Williams
“Wildflowers” – Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, & Emmylou Harris
“Born to Run” – Bruce Springsteen
“Where You Lead” – Carole King
“Wide Open Spaces” – The Chicks
“Dreams” – Fleetwood Mac
“Jackson” – Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash
“Soak Up The Sun” – Sheryl Crow
“This Must Be the Place” – Talking Heads
“Fish and Whistle” – John Prine
“Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” – Stevie Wonder

I hope you all get out and enjoy the gorgeous weather we’re having, and your time is filled with good friends, good food, and good tunes. Happy summer!
