Summer is rolling along at the farm and, after the recent high temperatures, we are all taking a deep breath to enjoy some lovely (yet more moderate) summer weather.  We are used to getting some toasty days in Pemberton, but when it climbs up to 39 degrees in the afternoons...well...that's a b1 read more »

It's been a hot week at the farm, and the summer crops are loving it.  The tomatoes are ripening, the beans are oh so close to kicking into high gear, and we are leaving the potatoes in the ground another week in the hope that they will size up a bit more.  We've been closely watching the1 read more »

New potatoes are here!  We are so excited to share our first harvest of Pemberton Potatoes for you, as well as some truly beautiful beets just waiting to be plucked out of the ground.  We've been hustling to get the brussel sprouts and leeks weeded, and are crossing our fingers that the o1 read more »

Wahoo!  Summer has arrived!  It makes for some hot days in the field, but we've been starting early to beat the heat and the plants are soaking up the sunshine.  Summer squash harvests are ramping up, and we've spotted our first ripe cherry tomatoes this week.  One of our harves1 read more »

Our motto the past couple of weeks has been "Many hands make light work"...or maybe just "Many hands is especially helpful and great for farming" would be more applicable.  The entire farm crew has been hustling to get the weeds pulled, the field watered, the plants planted, and the veggies ha1 read more »

We are stoked about the sunny weekend!  Zucchinis have started to flower and fruit, and we've gotten the tomatoes prunes so they can take full advantage of the sunshine and start ripening.  Yum.  Plus, the potatoes are sizing up, so that's pretty exciting all in all.  Thanks to1 read more »

What's new at the farm?  We are excited to kick off the main season CSA!  The whole crew has been putting in great efforts to look after our future food crops (we got the potatoes hilled, the brussel sprouts cultivated, and the squash looked after) along with making sure we have ample gre1 read more »

Summer is here!  We don't want to jinx it, but it seems that the sunshine and hot weather has rolled in right with the solstice.  As much as we've been loving the cooler work days and the heat-sensitive crops have been thriving, there's no other way to put it: your farmers are relieved.&n1 read more »

Phew, we are happy to get some rain. There's something about a good soaking that really brings it all together and it's almost like you can hear the plants breathing a sigh of relief (or is that from the farmers?).   Ever wondered what we do when it doesn't rain and the crops need moisture?&nb1 read more »
