We are harvesting some Rainbow chard this week, those cooler nights really have been paying off with the braising greens. Kale and collards aren't very far behind! We finally got some good rain as well, right after I started irrigating our bare dirt plots so we can lay some plastic but that is how it goes sometimes, hahaha. We are planning to get plastic laid this week for all of our strawberry plants that will be coming in a few weeks. This year has sure flown by for me, stay tuned for some more yummy options that should be hitting the harvest list soon!

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