Farm Happenings at Willow Haven Farm
Back to the Farm
We are back to picking your vegetables after being away for a long weekend. We enjoyed time camping in upstate New York. The kids especially love walking around Lake George and seeing the tour boats.
First thing Monday morning Farmer Reuben and Simeon went out to pick the tatsoi and bok choi. In th1 read more »
Getting Away
The Farm Family is getting away for 5 days this week, after packing your boxes of veggies! We are camping in upstate New York, which is the first time we are leaving the farm overnight since the spring. Everything is being left in the capable hands of Pam, Andres and Jaysa. We are grateful for thei1 read more »
Sweet Potatoes & an Eagle Scout
Last week we harvested the first of the sweet potatoes which need to “cure” before using. They were air-dried for a week in order to develop the sugars and storage life. You are getting the very first ones. I haven’t even gotten any to cook with yet.
A couple of the guys were out1 read more »
Sunsets & Fieldwork
I can tell from the picture that the farm kids are growing in their appreciation of beauty. The other night one of the 10 year olds asked "Quick! May I borrow your phone so I can take a picture of the sunset?!"

Carrots Finally!
Carrots are like gold on the farm. It is a very labor intensive crop that isn’t always successful on our farm because we don’t spray chemicals for weed control. This video shows my attempt at getting a few out of the ground to show you. But the crew will be digging them prop1 read more »
We're more than Half Way!
I'm writing on Monday morning and the crew is out picking beans, cucumbers and cabbage.
The Farmer's week started a bit rough with problem solving but thankfully he got his tractors fixed this morning. And as difficult as it is, the challenge of problem solving is one of the char1 read more »
No Farm Romance in August
We are in the Dog Days of August. The work is relentless, the days are long and hot and the vegetables have to be picked every day, by the bin, by the truckload. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to have an abundance - plenty of amazing vegetables for our members. But these are1 read more »
How We Survived Last Week & Upcoming Flower UPICK Event
We are thankful to have our full crew back to work this week. Last week was tough but the girls (and one lone farm boy) rose to the challenge. They picked cucumber twice, green peppers, swiss chard, and harvested three rows of potatoes. It doesn’t sound like much when I just list it that way1 read more »
