Hi Friends! It's officially fall and boy does it feel like it today. It's chilly and rainy, but still nice and warm in our greenhouse and low tunnels where most of our tomatoes are. This week we still have tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and basil, although given the low temperatures over the next week I expect they'll slow down considerably. We just dug the last batch of potatoes on Tuesday and we'll continue to harvest ginger over the next couple of weeks. We have some daikon radishes and fall turnips in the ground that are starting to size up and the kale is still looking lovely! More winter squash for yummy fall soups is on the way as well for the cozy season ahead!

Farm Happenings for September 23, 2022
About the farm
Rainwater Farms is run by Emma Rainwater & Naomi Salama with our daughter Norah. Emma fell in love with farming as community service while in Americorps. Naomi is fascinated with intentional ecology and stewardship of the land. We married at a farmer’s market in 2015, and started Rainwater Farms in 2017.
At Rainwater Farms we make use of sustainable practices, permaculture theory, and elbow grease to intensively manage 1.5 acres of vegetables, fruit trees, and a small flock of laying hens for eggs. We farm with intention and respect for the ecosystems our farm interacts with, both above and below ground.
