Quite a storm on Tuesday! We hope everyone stayed dry. We added Anaheim "Hatch" chili peppers to the list, as well as hot little Serrano peppers, and Laratte fingerling potatoes. Our bunching greens are coming in from the new planting so look for more and more of those to be available. We are cultivating our carrots this week, handweeding our spinach, and trying to get a lot more potatoes dug. Next week we will be planting fall cover crops: a mix of crimson clover, hairy vetch, and winter wheat. Can't believe we are thinking about autumn. Reminder: please give us back our little plastic tomato quart containers if you can, and we'll reuse them. Have a great weekend!

Farm Happenings for August 28, 2019
About the farm
At Blue Moon Farm, our goal is simple: Produce the most beautiful, best tasting produce possible using only organic methods. Our 20-acre organic vegetable farm located 10 miles north of Champaign-Urbana grows quality produce for Urbana's farmer's market, grocery stores, our CSA, and local restaurants. We are committed to the collective project of implementing farming practices that promote the health and well-being of the land we grow on and the people who eat our food. Buying locally leads to more accountability between the farmer and the eater and that relationship is important to us.
