Farm Happenings for July 16, 2020

Posted on July 10th, 2020 by Tamara McMullen

Hey veggie lovers!  

The word of the day is: intense.  This season has been an education in intense heat, pest pressure, drought (then intensely heavy, flooding rain), and of course intense concerns around health.  It's a little overwhelming, but through it all there is a sense of awe.  We still get to farm, we get to bring a sense of security and good health to our community by doing the work we love.  We are feeling tired, but also pretty lucky, and the food we are producing through it all is some of the best we've ever grown.  We're glad to have you with us through it all!

This week we've pretty much hit full-on summer crops, and you'll see several new options to fill out your menu's.  Keep in mind this is likely the last week for sugar snap peas, so indulge while they are here.  Also note that our spinach is struggling with the heat, and with a new fungus, so there is less available then I would like.  Sorry folks!

That's all for now, happy eating until next time.
