We enjoyed the nice weather this week and hope you did too! We got lots more plants in the ground like cauliflower, Swiss chard, leeks, broccoli and baby kale. We weeded our baby beets and carrots and experimented with putting in a late succession of tomatoes into our high tunnel. Tomatoes are slow1 read more »

We're still deep in tomatoes this week! We did a bit of catch up on weeding some of our fall crops, but mostly we've just been harvesting all day long. Our sweet and hot peppers have started taking off this week, and we're still in the thick of melon season. We keep getting missed by the rain which1 read more »

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 about1 read more »

This week was really all about the tomatoes! We've spent many human hours harvesting them this week, and there is a huge abundance! Cherries and big tomatoes are all really peaking right now, so now's a great time to get your tomato salads, BLTs and caprese salads on. We also did our first big regu1 read more »

We finally got some rain this week! We're so relieved and the plants really appreciate it too. Our summer crops are really starting to pop and it feels exciting and bountiful!

I'm sure I keep saying this but...it was really hot again this week! It was also super dry, though we did get a sprinkle of a shower last night. It feels funny to hope for rain in the summer when everyone else is hoping for as much sun as possible, but the plants could really use some help from abo1 read more »

Another hot week in the books! We got a big dump of rain early in the week which the plants really needed, and we're back to pretty dry by the end of this week.

It's been a hot week! We started work an hour earlier this week to finish before the hottest point of the day, but we still got pretty sweaty. We did some big, bulk harvests of some of our favorite crops that start every food - garlic and onions! They're curing in the barn for a few weeks before th1 read more »

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 don1 read more »

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.
