I hope everyone who wanted to come to visit our farm last Saturday were able to. It was a chance to see what we’re doing, see some of our crops, and talk with the farmer. Next chance to visit for a tour will be June 2016 for our Strawberry picking and farm tour.

Our fall crops are beginning to come in well.  Kales - Green and Red Curly; White and Red Russian; and Lacinato all being picked now. Collard greens, 3 types of Pac Choi, tat soi, red and green mizuna, arugula, and red and green mustard.

October is here and its time again for our annual fall farm tour and pumpkin picking. The tour is scheduled for Saturday, October 17th. It will be a sit down riding tour in a farm wagon pulled by a tractor. There is limited seating on the wagon so reservations are required. The times are 10:30; 11:30; 12:30; and 1:30. The tour lasts about an hour; we will see many of our fall crops, including different greens, turnips, radishes, kales, broccoli and cauliflowers. At the end everyone can pick a pumpkin—pie pumpkins.

Our Summer drought has ended.  After less than 2 inches of rain all July, August and into the 2nd week of September, we got 4 inches of rain in 3 days.  This was greatly needed for our fall crops, which have been planted into dry, dusty soil.  Our fall greens: Tat Soi, other Chois, Arugula, Mizuna, Spinach and others all needed some water to start growing.  Turnips- Gold, red, and white, as well as several varieties of winter radishes all had been dormant until the rains arrived.  It will be another month before we start harvesting them, but will have them into December.
