TOMATOES

Yes, they have arrived for the season and we are over the moon about this, because for us, we only eat the tomatoes we grow and when they are gone we have to wait until they are ready the next season! We are growing several heirloom varieties, slicers, cherries and paste sauce tomatoes.

Other news on the farm is that we are finalizing the Farm Tour dates/times for our CSA Members to visit us and see what we have been doing for the last 7 months. We can't wait to meet you and show off the farm, "Covid-Style" of course!

New seed has been started for the Fall crops in our green house and we also have new rounds of beets, lettuce, cucumber and squash coming soon.

Now back to farming on this HOT/HUMID week in Missouri!

Winslow’s Farm is located in Augusta, Mo. on an old hog farm settled in the 1800's by German immigrants. The 5 acre growing field is tucked away in a valley surrounded by rolling hills blessed with old growth trees and rich Missouri bottomland soil. Since 2005 this land has been nurtured and planted using time honored organic and natural farming principles & practices. Chickens graze in the surrounding pastures, raised for eggs and pest control, rotating fields with a herd of goats and our horse Red. The large variety of annual and perennial fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs are grown seasonally for our CSA members and select restaurants in the St Louis metropolitan area. Seed crop varieties are selected for their taste and ability to withstand pest and disease pressure. Late winter seeds are started in the green house before planting in succession on the growing field. The fields are irrigated with well water, where crops are tended closely and hand harvested daily for peak flavor.

The 100 year old structures have been carefully retrofitted for todays needs, but clean up beautifully for private events throughout the spring and summer months.
