Farm Happenings at Cedarville Farm
Farm Happenings for October 28, 2020
We are relieved to report that the garden escaped the hard frost that was predicted for this weekend. It turned cold, but not as severely so as we had feared might hit us. So for another week, we have tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant to offer, as well as other semi tender crops such as Celery... read more »
Farm Happenings for October 21, 2020
Later this week it's predicted to dip into the low 30's, so we'll be pulling out all of the row cover fabric we have available and installing it over as many sensitive crops as we can. We'll go through the tomato, pepper, and eggplant beds and pull off everything that looks good (all have been... read more »
Farm Happenings for October 14, 2020
We are wondering when the first killing frost will arrive. For many years we held October 11th as the arrival date our first killing fall frosts. If we wanted to have peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and the like for a final harvest, we tried to pick them clean before this date. For hardier,... read more »
Farm Happenings for October 7, 2020
We managed to bring in about half the winter squash crop by week's end, washing and packing the squash fruit in the field, before moving them to our propagation house for curing and storage. We sprayed the dirt off of each squash and then dipped them in sanitized water in an effort to discourage... read more »
Farm Happenings for September 30, 2020
We are sobbing a bit around here these days as the onset of Fall begins to shut down our favorite summer treats. Basil, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Zucchini, and Peppers are all in their final acts, though the end dates are a bit different for each. We are excited, though, at the strong... read more »
Farm Happenings for September 23, 2020
The air finally cleared Friday and harvest was once again a happy if demanding time. We hope forecasts of rain prove true, especially for those areas in the West still burning. For now, we are grateful we can see the gentle curves of Mt. Sumas once again and pull in a deep breath without... read more »
Farm Happenings for September 16, 2020
Dear Farmshare members:
This will be a difficult harvest this week thanks to the thick and irritating (on many levels) air. Our crew is willing to work, but concerned for their health, which we understand and share. Likely, we'll work reduced hours Monday at the least, and possibly Tuesday,... read more »
Farm Happenings for September 9, 2020
We've pulled up the onions from a fog of late season weeds and are pleased to find some sturdy bulbs and a good number of them, too. We've left them on the ground to cure for a few days and will move them into the pole bard to join the garlic brought in last month. A good crop of onions is reassuring... read more »
Farm Happenings for September 2, 2020
We are at the height of the summer harvest, the Glorious Season, as Kim once termed it. We hope the harvest has enriched your summer time gatherings and tickled your palates. The mornings have grown cool and the daylight arrives and departs sooner, a seeming contradiction to the bounty the... read more »
About the farm
Cedarville Farm is a mid sized mixed vegetable farm, tilling the river bottom soils of the Nooksack River, 12 miles NE of Bellingham. We grow organically, maintaining soil health with the use of animal, plant, and rock based fertilizers and cover crops. We offered the first CSA north of Seattle in 1992 and have never stopped packing boxes and loving this way of linking local consumers with local farms.
