Last week of our Summer Season...

Posted on September 15th, 2023
It's so hard to believe that this will be our last week of the summer season.  They usually go by quickly because it's so busy, but this year was a new record.  We're experiencing a wide range of emotions though this year... We feel excited for our new adventures and yet it feels so hard1 read more »

We’ve become so aware of the natural world around us since we’ve started this business… ⁠Before I didn’t know (or didn’t care, really) about what the sun was doing… it didn’t seem to affect me at all.⁠  Now it affects us a lot…⁠ And1 read more »

Onion Harvest

Posted on August 4th, 2023
Did you know, onions grow nice and tall with their straight green stalks and then, over a fairly short period of time, the stalks all fall over. This is how you know that they're ready for curing. We've had the early onions so far this season with the stalks still attached, but we've noticed that s1 read more »
