This is week #7 and we're halfway through our summer season. And this is when it starts getting exciting because everything starts ripening at once! This week we get to add beets, rutabaga, tomatillos, and basil, plus Mason's going to whip up some yummy green salsa too. We were so disappointed earlier in the season because a vole (or voles) ate much of first crop of beets and rutabaga (they left the turnips alone, interesting...) but finally our second round is ready! We've never struggled with voles before but they loved all the snow and felt quite content living off fresh garden produce this spring. Thankfully, it seems like Zoey has conquered most of them as we're not seeing as much damage from them over the past few months... There's always something exciting happening in the garden. Haha! ;)

Halfway through summer
About the farm
We left the hustle and bustle of city life to raise our children in the country. Getting into agriculture is a decision we've never regretted! Now we lovingly grow fresh food together as a family on our small farm. It's food we trust, and you can too! We want to feed our children the best we can, so we grow high-quality fruits, vegetables, and meats - everything from Arugula to Zucchini; Chicken and pork! - all free of chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. We'd love to share what we grow with you!
