SPRING AND SUMMER SHARES DEADLINES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO APRIL 14, 2018

Back In Business...Well, Sorta

I must apologize for not posting anything much since the end of October.  I just wasn't able to type with a broken arm/shoulder.  But the doctor says the arm is healed but the shoulder needs more work.  Like three days of therapy a week for a month.

So back to the CSA I can come!  Yea!  I've missed it!

Look what I have for you today...

With the New Year comes the New Sign-Ups for the CSA for 2018.  Read through it and enjoy looking ahead to what the new season holds.  If you have any questions please email us

Looks Like Christmas Colors Today

Always something to be done on the farm.  As soon as they have time the big tunnel house will be moved to a new location and lettuce will be planted.

Lots Of Good Hearty Veggies

Some hidden jewels this week.

This week marks the first week of the Fall Share.  We thank you that have stayed with the shares and  are thankful for those that have been with us.  Looking forward to a good crop. The weather and leaves are beginning to change and so will some of the items you get in your boxes. 

The farm hasn't gotten much in the way of rain so they are irrigating from the lake that was built last year.

I need to apologize for not posting the last few weeks.  I was spending time with my Dad while he was in the hospital recovering from surgery.  I can promise you if I am in town and it is a Tuesday...there will be a blog!  Thanks for your understanding.

Loving this Cooler Weather

Vegetables are still going strong.  The weather is getting cooler so some of the veggies will be going to sleep but the cool weather crops will be waking up.

A Little Surprise For Me

I think John and Anna might be dreaming of cooler days.  It has been hot and humid in Hillsboro for a few weeks now.  I think I am with them after living through the hot and humid Monday we had this week.  John reports that the first group of melons is just about over.  But not to worry another batch is on the way.  And if you are needing any canning tomatoes they are still available.

I got a little surprise from the kids this week.  Two baby purple cabbages.  The kids wanted me to have them.  I can just see those little faces giggling and smiling from ear to eat thinking how funny it is.  The even etched my name in them.

Lots of good lookin' veggies this week.  They just keep coming!
