Farm Happenings for July 22, 2022

This week's offerings:  More beets and cauliflower.  And garlic!  And probably the last of the celery till the fall.

Coming soon: Cherry tomatoes on the way! Even some today! And beefsteak tomatoes slowly too!

Organic blueberries coming on Friday for those that ordered them!  Look for a separate box with your name on it.    No cherries this year -- couldn't quite swing it!

Good read: David Montgomery (with the help of his wife) has written several books that have as one of their themes the overall connection between healthy soil, healthy plants, and healthy people.  His latest book is called What Your Food Ate, and is well worth perusing!  Here is a transcript of an interview with David, done by Dave Chapman, head of the Real Organic Project, which is also doing fantastic outreach regarding organic and sustainable agriculture:  https://www.realorganicproject.org/david-montgomery-book-club-interview/?mc_cid=56527f9649&mc_eid=12e5d1bba3.  Here is also an interview with David Montgomery where he touches on a variety of topics relevant to sustainable agriculture:  https://www.realorganicproject.org/david-montgomery-clever-modern-technology-vs-ancient-soil-wisdom-episode-twenty-seven/?mc_cid=56527f9649&mc_eid=12e5d1bba3

 Have a good week!
