Farm Happenings for August 11, 2020

Posted on August 9th, 2020 by Emily Tzeng

Its probably peak summer in the PNW this week! We hope everyone is enjoying all of the summer foods available at this time of year. During this busy time of year, we eat a lot of tomato sandwiches at our house. Most of the time we use excellent bread from our Bread Share with a generous layer of mayo and slices of our rainbow heirloom tomatoes and a big pinch of sea salt. It is also a good time to be eating a lot of BLT's or mozzarella/tomato/basil sandwiches! 

Despite all of the summer foods, we are focusing this week on cultivating all of our fall and winter crops and cleaning out spaces for our storage crops. We also are getting ready to make our biggest compost pile of the year that will fertilize all of our crops for next year! Farmers always have a foot in each season and it really feels that way during this time of year. 

A reminder to all members who do not work at Pierce County Offices: our pick up is Tuesday 1-2pm at the Tacoma Mall Plaza. Please let me know if you will not be able to make this time frame.
