Farm Happenings for August 10, 2018
Hello Friends
It has finally stopped raining up here and that is a relief. Each week when I log into Harvie I have to make an estimation of what produce will be ready for the CSA boxes by Friday. You have until Tuesday morning at 8 to decide, make changes etc amd then I download the pick list... read more »
Week 10 Summer Bounty!
Hello Friends

Week 9, ESF CSA Update
Hello Friends,
Working on the farm has been hot the past few weeks, and the best solution for that is lots of water and good hat. And keeping busy - which is not a problem around here. The picture this week is one of my daughter Harper helping me in the greenhouse to prepare cuttings from... read more »

Hello Friends

Farm Happenings for June 22, 2018
I'm finding that I enjoy writing to you on a Sunday morning when there's no pressure. I actually slept in today - and then was woken up by a chattering 7 year old Harper who just had to tell me all about her dream, which involved a Hollywood level of excitement. After that she and I headed out to the... read more »
