Farm Happenings for July 8, 2020

Posted on July 3rd, 2020 by Ashley Godwin

Early summer. At this point in the season we are mostly focused on weeds and pest control, but hovering on the edge of peak season. The leafy food has come in with abundance, but the fruiting plants, those ones that make your bag nice and heavy, are still up and coming--showing their promise but not yet producing significant amounts of fruit. The late frost and cooler than normal June has us tapping our feet impatiently with their slower-than-normal progress, but we have been at this long enough to know that they will come, and impatience gets us nothing but tired feet.

Bright Spot: You will find local corn in your boxes this week!!!

Early summer: The month of both toiling and waiting with great anticipation!
