Greetings members! Week sixteen and labor day week has arrived. Labor day is weird concept to me as a farmer because pretty much every day is a day for labor around here. So much work to complete and most people aren’t able to see the beauty in working hard for others and loose track of…
Greetings members! This last week was hot and tiring but the summer produce really liked the heatwave. My kids are gathering their supplies for a return to school and started their orientations and it’s been busy. The peppers are change color faster in the heat and the ground cherries and tomatoes ripen faster as well.…
Week #14 is here and a long dry spell with another wave of intense heat has come making it difficult to keep up with watering and irrigation when the temps start to rise as they are this weekend. Hopefully we will get some rain soon. Until then I am working on tilling and planting greens…

Hey there CSA members! We are officially at mid season! The tomatoes are pouring in and so many perfect cherry tomatoes coming out of the new high tunnel we can barely pick them as fast as they ripen. I think homegrown organic tomatoes don’t really get much better then these and hopefully these sweet fruits…
Hello CSA Members! We are heading through the middle of the season the next few weeks. Summer heat and storms keep it humid and exciting out in the fields as we keep bringing in the summer harvest from the fields. It’s that time of year when your farmer is feeling the burn and the weeds…
Welcome to week eight everyone! The last week was a doozy with not only intense heat but strong storms building up as a result. We were lucky to get through it all without any damage despite loosing power for 4 hours on Thursday when a line of intense storms hit on market/delivery day. Tuesday delivery…
Welcome to week #7 everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday with family. This week we have had a lot of heat in the field continuing and some good rain to go with it but the future forecast looks hot and dry for a while. It will be a challenge to work…
