Time continues to fly : Last two weeks in photos


Blink and two weeks have flown by! Life continues to be busy on the farm with prepping fields, weeding, transplanting and keeping up with the strawberries. We are picking every 2-3 days and getting 10+ lbs every time. Next year we will have twice as many! We are doing two markets a week, restaurant deliveries and have 13 people on our ESA (e-mail supported agriculture) weekly delivery. Everything is growing and looking good. At market, we have been bringing microgreens, strawberries, herbs and flowers. We are just starting to have lettuce, garlic scapes and Asian greens. We are just on the precipice of everything blowing up and the produce flowing in. This coming week we will have the annual vegetable and flower fields transplanted and planted from the last of the greenhouse starts. Squash, cucumbers and eggplants are in the ground. Tomatoes are in the greenhouse and the blackberries are blooming. The farm is vibrating with life and the promise of great harvests to come.
