Posted on October 30th, 2020
Bundle up!  We've got some unseasonably cold weather coming in tonight and next week.  Our crew spent the last few days racing around covering veggies with row cover (which we also use in the spring) and harvesting to bring crops into storage before this cold night.   Colder wea1 read more »

Autumn Share Week 1!

Posted on October 2nd, 2020
Welcome to fall friends!  It's easy to love fall on a farm, even when the days are wet and a little gray and gloomy as it was today.  Sometimes I even think it's the gloomy days that make it so special.  The sky seems to get bigger in the fall, the clouds get more defined and colorfu1 read more »

Week 16 - End of Summer- 2 weeks left of deliveries!

Posted on September 18th, 2020
We are days away from the first days of fall (and the equinox) and the world is starting to show it.  We had a very light frost this past week that left most of our tender crops untouched, but this weekend brings down the hammer on summer.  We have a string of cold nights coming that1 read more »

With lots of greens and the season's first winter squash this week, are dipping our toes into fall this week (officially only 15 days away as of the writing of this letter).  Today (Friday) has been pretty steamy, but we're looking at lots of pleasant days and mildly cool nights for the forese1 read more »

Week 12 It's finally raining!

Week 12 - Feel that chill in the air....

Posted on August 21st, 2020
We are headed into our 12th week of shares here on the farm.  We are in week I don't know what of no rain, which means irrigation is heavy on our mind.  Lots of our fall crops need a good soaking, and while we are on the Kennebec and we can irrigate, moving water all over the farm is a fe1 read more »

Week 11 - The height of summer, the height of exhaustion....

Posted on August 14th, 2020
There is a saying (I don't know if it's especially old), among veggie farmers: don't make any decisions in August.  I know farmers who've quit in August (only to be back on the horse in September), we all (only half jokingly) scroll job websites this time of year, dreaming wistfully of 9-5 hou1 read more »
