Farm Happenings-August 2nd 2022

Posted on July 29th, 2022 by Will Nelson

Announcement: Our annual CSA picnic will be held on August 12th from 5-8 at the farm. 

Let’s celebrate good food, hard work, and community! Join us for a farm potluck and meet the many hands that help nurture the bounty found each week at the CSA!  The College Farm will provide a BIG green salad plus veggie and beef kabobs and beverages. We invite you to bring a side dish or dessert to share!   

After dinner, the 2022 Farm Olympics promises to entertain both participants and spectators. Games for all ages! 

This week on the farm was a bit different than most. We had limited a crew, which was a bit of an adjustment for all of us. But regardless, it was still a great week on the farm. We started harvesting a lot of new vegetables this week, including eggplant, basil, potatoes, and my favorite, tomatoes! We also did a lot of garlic processing, which means we’ll have a lot of garlic at the farmer’s market in the coming weeks. Overall, it was a busy week but thankful for the abundance of new summer vegetables and cooler weather as compared to last week.
