It's been a great week on the farm! We welcomed our fourth new crew member this week so we've been flying through our to do lists! It's so new to us working with a team - so many tasks that would take us a very long time, or just continue to get pushed to the bottom of the list, are now getting done swiftly. It's very nice for our mental health plus the health and productivity of our plants. The summer squash and cucumbers really blew up this week so you boxes will be loaded with them this week! Weirdly we didn't plant anything this week, just lots of harvesting and cleaning up from spring crops. We also moved the walkways between the beds of plants so that we can maneuver more easily and so that the plants get plenty of light. And of course, more trellising of tomatoes, peppers and peas. We also got to go tubing this afternoon as a whole crew - summer is really happening!

About the farm
Good Dog Farm is a 25-acre vegetable farm in Upperco, Maryland. We are a Certified Naturally Grown farm and use beyond organic growing practices. By farming with the health of our land and customers as our guide, we ensure you the highest quality and safest produce. We use sustainable growing practices to protect our soil and waterways. We supply our customers in the Baltimore and DC regions with delicious, nutritious food that’s always fresh.
We founded the farm in June of 2016. We grow vegetables year-round thanks to our two high tunnels. Our farm provides a diversity of crops for our Community Supported Agriculture program plus wholesale quantities of unique varieties of storage crops like potatoes, winter squash and sweet potatoes.
Our name comes from our shared love of our three dogs, who remind us to live simply and have fun every day.
