Tough
Hello Folks,
I'm having a hard time mustering up any positive highlights to mention about this week. This is hands down the most challenging frustrating farming season that I've ever had. Granted, this is only my 9th year providing a CSA Farm share, but I'm pretty down. We're going to keep working1 read more »

Hot!
Wow! Its hot for May. Some crops are growing very well in the heat, but others are really feeling the record breaking temperatures. The ones that are suffering most are the crops that usually grow well in early spring- strawberries, lettuces, broccoli, cabbage, swiss chard, carrots. Fortunate1 read more »
