Farm Happenings at Hoot Owl Farm
CSA Week #5 - Customize
Harvesting work is ramping up on the farm with the addition of several crops that require regular 'picking'. Once crops like summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers start producing, we pretty much harvest from them every 2 days to once a week for as long as they go (or until we 'evict' them1 read more »
CSA Week #5 - Pick Up
What a strange week we've had! On Monday, we were quite surprised to arrive at the farm at 34-35 degrees. There pockets of frost, and we even found some ice in the lettuces, but we seem to have pulled through with no major losses. Well, that's not entirely true, the major losses can be tallied up b1 read more »
CSA Week #4 - Customize
Lots of new crops to harvest this week (including plenty of carrots)! We're beginning to harvest summer crops like zucchini, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes, all the while also harvesting our spring crops like cabbage and broccoli. It's a little strange for us because in the past, it seems like the1 read more »
CSA Week #4 - Pick Up
Zucchini season is off to a great start! We had to brave the weather, but we bagged our limit! For this week anyway, as anyone who's grown zucchini knows...the limit keeps getting higher and higher, lol. Many of you will be getting zucchini in your box this week, and if you didn't, then you'll almo1 read more »
CSA Week #3 - Customize
Bonnie got a nice thank you at the market yesterday from some of the Headstart classes that came out to the farm for a visit this Spring. We had four separate field trips, and boy do we admire teachers for being able to occupy those inquisitive bundles of energy all day! We had some great questions1 read more »
CSA Week #3 - Pick Up
The new cooler is in, but there's a lot of finish work to do before the project is complete. Amazingly, this walk in cooler was built in about 1/2 hour by this fine crew. It's made out of insulated panels that 'cam-lock' together at a few points at each seam. A bit like legos or lincoln logs for ad1 read more »
CSA Week #2 - Customize
Well, we made it through week #1 of the CSA unscathed...how about we go for week #2! For some of you (on an every other week schedule) this will be your first share. Welcome to all of our new members! Each week that you have a pick up, you'll get an email like this with any updates, news from the f1 read more »
CSA Week #2 - Pick Up
Second succession of melons is planted (pic above)! We're really working hard to have both MORE melons this year and also have ripe melons for a longer stretch of time. They were very popular last year because you really can't compete with the flavor and texture of a fresh-picked and vine-ripened m1 read more »
CSA Week #1 - Customize
It's that time! Time to grab your first CSA box of the season - we look forward to seeing you all at your pick up!
Welcome to all of our new members! Each week that you have a pick up, you'll get an email like this with any updates, news from the farm, reminders, and the ever important link to chec1 read more »
