***PLEASE READ THE FARM HAPPENINGS***
This is where we let you know of upcoming events, important and sometimes urgent updates, special happenings & basically anything we want you to know for the upcoming share week.
Hello Everyone,
Summer is going by fast, hope you all are enjoying the sunny weather and you produces boxes!
PLEASE Return Boxes & Red Freezer Bags!
We are getting a low! We also take back mason jars & 12 hole Egg Cartons
- We like to reuse as much as we can :)
- leave them out your next delivery for the driver to get when they drop off your next order.
- If you are a pick up, you can leave the items at that location and we will grab them.
- If your red bag has a water bottle in it, leave it in! It's an icepack to help keep the items frozen during delivery. We refreeze them and use them multiple times.
If you &/or your family are currently quarantined, Please keep your items for now.
Current Updates:
IT RAINED: This is great news, we are extremely excited about this as our crops really needed it. The grasses in the pastures are starting to green up and we are irrigating the veggies a little less now that mother nature is helping out.
SWEET CORN: We had quite the pleasant surprise with the sweet corn, it decide to be ready sooner than we thought. It will be in your shares and we will have some for sale. That's Charlotte in the pic with some fresh picked corn and our new to us produce wagon for the farm store.
Strawberries:
- It's been a slow summer these guys BUT this rained really helped so they will be arriving in more bountiful quantities soon!
- Lots coming for August & September!
Crops: We are transitioning from Spring Crops to Summer Crops! Crops arriving & coming soon;
- Broccolini
- Beans
- Zucchini

- Potatoes coming soon

- CROP FAILURE:
- Sugar Snap Peas; Due to the drought this crop completely died- so we will not behaving these in the share this summer!
We are having new crops come on within days of each other so you will be seeing lost of fun options for your boxes.
10 Acre Corn Maze:
