Farm Happenings for September 7, 2021
Hi friends!
It feels like summer really flew by this year. There's only six weeks left in the market (and farm share) and the nights are getting much cooler.
We still have great tomatoes and eggplant this week, and probably will have them for at least another week.
See you tomorrow!

See you soon,1 read more »

Hi friends!
Late August always seems to sneak up on us every year, and will it the joy of tomato season. This week we're loaded with cherry tomatoes, fresh dill, and salad greens. Unfortunately a brief break in the cucumbers as we wait for the next round to catch up but there will be more to share1 read more »

Hi friends!
Apologies that the share customization is coming to you a little on the late side this week!! There's tons of good cherry tomatoes and the first of the heirloom tomatoes, as well as summer squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and lots of greens.
Be well, we'll see you at the market!

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.
