September 18th, 2014 This week’s harvest: Beans, Cucumbers, Squash, Kale, Chard, Peppers, Pears, Onions, Eggplant, Arugula/Mizuna mix, Beets, Parsley, Tomatoes, Basil, Cabbage or Cauliflower (switch from last week)
U-pick: Collards, Broccoli, Flowers, Herbs, Kale, Chard, extra squash for pickling!
We can’t believe it feels like fall on the farm. The chilly mornings and the empty (fully harvested) beds signal the upcoming frost. But that doesn’t mean your share size will be shrinking. It was this time last year when the devastating hail storm

Hi all, Pete here. With fall in the air it feels a bit like we’re winding the season down. However there’s a lot more in store provided the frost holds off just a bit. Firstly, we need to talk about kale. Kale is so awesome. I really have no idea how anyone can eat a salad

U pick: outdoor tomatoes, kale, chard, flowers, dill, parsley, basil
Come on heat! After a summer full of colder-than-normal nights and a mid-season hail, our outdoor tomatoes, cucumbers, and winter squash need all the help they can get! Coming from the East coast we’re still astounded at how long it takes for heat loving plants to come to maturity here. Talking shop

“A weed is simply a plant whose virtues we haven’t yet discovered” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Another giant harvest, I hope you’ve been busy stir-frying, juicing, or freezing what is left. This time of year on the farm, what were once long beds of carrots, beets, onions, and garlic is now fallow (gone to the

Wow, what a share! I hope you’ve been enjoying your harvest outside on the deck with family and friends as we have. This is my favorite time of year, when all we do on the farm is bring in the produce and share in the beauty with visitors.
Pete and Fresh Pressed will again be selling their awesome oils

Extra u-pick flowers, herbs, and greens: sunflowers, cosmos, thai basil, basil, purple basil, dill, parsley, kale, chard
It’s time to officially say goodbye to the strawberries! Our June bearers were mowed down this week hopefully to come back twice as productive next year. The mowing is done to keep the “runners” (baby plants) from over-crowding the plot.
We’ve also maxed out on

u-pick flowers: sunflowers, cosmos, thai basil u-pick herbs: dill, parsley, fennel, cilantro, purple basil
It’s been an uplifting week watching the plants recover nicely from the hail. I have to admit there were a few nights last week after the storm when we all felt a little defeated. The hard work is worth it when all goes well… when it doesn’t, we begin

July 31st, 2014 This week’s harvest: tomatoes galore, basil, garlic, onions, carrots, beets, kohlrabi, dill, parsley, kale, squash Do you want the bad news first, or the good?
OK, let’s get the bad news over with. Yes, it hailed on our farm Monday evening. Deja vu? It was just last September when we were going through the same thing: assessing the damage on the farm from just 5 quick minutes of quarter size hail. It’s incredible how destructive it can be in such

July 24th, 2014 This week’s harvest: lettuce, parsley, tomatoes, basil, chard, kale, red onions, beets, garlic, kohlrabi, u-pick herbs (dill, fennel, purple and thai basil) if you want some on the way to the… u-pick strawberries.
Yes, it’s true. We have enough tomatoes to give a couple to everyone! It’s exciting to have such abundance this early in the year. Our daily diligence early in the season – pulling on and off the two inner layers every morning and night – is finally

July 17th, 2014 This week’s harvest: red onions, kale, chard, collards, salad mix with fresh herbs, kohlrabi, beets, turnips, radish, u-pick strawberries, uncured garlic (hang it in your kitchen for a week to dry or eat now for an even sharper garlic taste).
It’s exciting to watch how quickly the farm grows from week to week and even more fun to share it with you. The 32nd St. plot is really coming together with the staking of the tomatoes, pole beans and cucumbers
