We had another busy week of tomato harvesting! The tropical storm didn't hit us too badly - just a whole bunch of rain on Tuesday. The wet soil is kind of getting in the way of our weed management, but the vegetable plants are happy, too. We are eating lots of cantaloupe and watermelon - talk about fruits of our labor! They really taste like peak summer to me even though they don't arrive until August. We got a lot of plants in the ground like cabbage, Napa cabbage, scallions, kale and collards. I get excited for the return of green things around this time of year, but I'm trying to appreciate all the delicious summer fruits while they're here. If you also like appreciating and preserving the harvest, you can add on extra tomatoes to your CSA share in the Extras section. We also have dried herbs from our friends at Hydes Hill Herb Farm available a la carte this week.

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.
