Welcome to Fall on the Farm!  This is by far my favorite season and spirits are high as pumpkins, squash and other fall crops now command the “to do” list.  As long as the weather cooperates we will continue to harvest and should end the year on a good note.  Even with the days getting […]

A batch of frost last week had us in for a scare.  Frost that settles onto delicate plants such as peppers and tomatoes has the ability to end a harvest season in a short hurry.  Frost that settles on pumpkins and squash tends to leave frost marks which renders the crop almost unusable.  Luckily for […]

Plenty of rain last night is making things twice as difficult in the field. Wet clothes, muddy boots and stuck tractors are common place today. Crops such as green beans and cucumbers are soon to be done, they have given us what they can and we have harvested all that we could. Corn season will […]

The first squash of the year has been picked as of today, yet another milestone of the year. The time is flying past us at record speed. Field by field, crop by crop we continue to push forward. As we transition into fall, many more varieties of produce will begin to show up in your […]

I know for many people Fall is not something to look forward to, but for me, it is time to start thinking about the harvest ahead.  Pumpkins in the field are beginning to ripen and turn orange, squash is almost ready to harvest and slowly but surely Fall is creeping in.  It is safe to […]

The sun has been shining and the fields are dry, the work days are getting longer.  The days seem to go faster and faster, and to tell you the truth, there are not enough hours in the day.  With so much to do, it remains hard to keep up and it gets harder to think […]

So you can grow it, but can you get it out of the field? That is one of the biggest questions we ask ourselves. Planting season is a long road and a lot of hard work, and of course you will have nothing to pick unless you plant it! But once planting season has drawn to […]

Hot weather has put plant growth into full swing, sweet corn is ripening, and the peppers are setting more fruit. As we head into this week, we are beginning to harvest more and more each day, cucumbers, green beans, cabbage and soon to be sweet corn. It is a sure thing that working in the […]

Yet another week of our CSA program is upon us, and harvest is in full swing. The flowers on our vegetable plants are blooming and the bees are busy pollinating them. All the planting has come to a close and now we are concerned about getting stuff harvested and out of the field. Peppers, cucumbers, […]
