We had some high winds the other night and lost 3 big oak trees. Luckily they didn't fall on anything important, and we will get them cleaned up and hauled to the burn pile. Good news, we have plenty of heirlooms for everyone this week! Squash, cucumbers, and okra are close, hoping to be able to offer them next week. We got our last planting of peppers in the ground over the weekend, next up to be planted will be pumpkins and Fall tomatoes towards the end of the month. After that we will start seeding root crops, greens, garlic, shallots, and a few others.

The farm not only grows multiple varieties of over 30 types of vegetables, but in recent years has added fruit trees and flowers.
