Busy Fall Days

October 2, 2018 – 12:14 pm

Ah, it is good to welcome October, even with some chilly rain.  As much as I LOVE September weather, the September workload always exceeds available hours and leaves this set of farmers weary, behind, and questioning why we do this. And this rain is SO needed, by the land and it gives our team that […]

Brussels (Sprout) Tops

November 8, 2017 – 7:30 pm

So, the sprouts themselves grow on the sides of a long stalk, sheltered by the leaves  of the plant.  The top-most leaves, are delicate, almost like baby cabbages and a special treat when you are harvesting the plants.   This week, probably this week only, we have this special offer.  Brussel Tops. What do I do […]

October 26, 2017 – 6:07 am

It has been a carrot (and beet) heavy week.  It was time to disturb those lovely, quiet rows of storage carrots and beets and bring them in for eating now and through the winter.  Just a few rows, doesn’t seem like that big of a job, right? Well, pulling them isn’t too bad, but once […]

Ode to Fall Veggies

October 5, 2016 – 7:10 pm

I must admit, I am such a four season gal.  As each new season shows its colors, scents and weather, my spirits brighten.  There is so much hope at the beginning of each season – hope for things either not achieved or not achievable in the season that is ending.  Fall is no different for me. […]

Bring on the Fall Colors

September 29, 2016 – 11:32 am

                    Fall is officially here as is fall foliage.  Our favorite part of the foliage season is when the vibrant reds, yellows and oranges are amidst a backdrop of deep greens.  We have gotten to experience this beyond the trees this week, the same color schemes […]
