Out of caution and safety please stay tuned to social media and your email inboxes for info on pickup day cancellations and/or date changes. On to the notes... It's Week 10 and believe it or not we are halfway through the farm share. Where is this summer going? In less than 2 short months the pumpkins will be in and we'll be drinking our spiced lattes, and eating apple cider donuts, but I digress. We still have 10 weeks left to savor all of the farmy goodness! Soil sampling has begun for our fall spinach, overwintering onions, beets, and storage crops. We've also been turning-over our spring fields and planting cover crops of sorghum and sudangrass, buckwheat, oats, and tillage radish, as well as sunflowers. These cover crops help build organic matter and preserve the soil as it rests. The science behind cover crops is absolutely amazing. I know I have mentioned this before but for the people who have not heard about it yet, the next movie you should see is The Biggest Little Farm. Cover crops played a BIG role in bringing this farm's ecosystem back from the dead. Check out the 10 minute preview below! Awesome movie. Let us know if you like it :) WHAT TO USE FIRST
TIP: BLUEBERRIES Put your container of blueberries in the fridge, keep them from the crisper drawer, the air doesn't circulate too well. Depending on how ripe they were when you bought them, the blueberries will stay good for up to a week when stored this way.

Please call or message us and we'll make arrangements for you to pick-up your share at another time. (413) 800-5583 bardwellfarm@gmail.com FIELD NOTES  Severe thunderstorms moved over the farm last week dropping over 3+ inches of rain Welcome to Week 9 everyone! I can't believe it's almost August and we're already talking about fall crops. You should see the pumpkin plants, they're looking awesome. Mother Nature has been throwing everything at us lately from extreme heat to excessive precipitation, 3 inches plus in some cases. The storms have been pretty severe too with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. I think we lucked-out on the last one that came through. Just to the south of us some towns were measuring half inch hail and Warren may have had a funnel cloud from the very same cell that passed right over our farm. On-top of the weather the crew has been battling weeds, keeping the good fight trellising tomatoes, and staking just about everything. Despite the 90 to 100 degree temps its been getting done and I'm proud of them. It's not easy doing this kind of work. New to the share this week... fresh garlic, tomatoes, several varieties of eggplant, purple and red savoy cabbage, and a new trio of herbs, enjoy! Owner Harrison Bardwell WHAT TO USE FIRST
TIP: GARLIC The shelf life of garlic can go as long as a year or as short as a few days depending on how you store it. A properly stored whole bulb of garlic can last up to three to five months in the pantry. Once the bulb is broken, you can expect the quality of your garlic to decrease rather quickly. Individual unpeeled garlic cloves can last for seven to ten days in the pantry.

It's been another crazy week in the field. Tropical storms, wind, thunder, lightning bolts (really close ones I may add), hot-humid, and rainy days. We're taking everything Mother Nature is throwing at us and making German Stripe Heirloom Tomato sandwiches with salt, pepper, and mayo! We dodged a bullet really with this one. This Field Notes would have been a little different with a 4" rainfall and 30 to 50 mph winds thrown in. Luckily we were able to trellis our field peppers and stake tomatoes just before it hit and everything held up pretty good. As a farmer your crops are always one step away from disaster and there's nothing you can do about it. With that said things are looking up! Those field peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant are looking amazing. We've also begun trials of of trellising cucumbers and more peppers in the high tunnels to have product earlier, later, and to protect them from the harsh summer conditions. We love it when a plan comes together. It's 8:30pm, dark, and we are finishing installation of the brush washer by truck headlights... on to the next project :) Enjoy the share this week folks, we have SWEET CORN! WHAT TO USE FIRST
TIP: HOW LONG TO BOIL CORN ON THE COB Fill a large pot with water. Pour 1 quart of water per ear into your largest pot, add Kosher salt, then bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the corn. Be sure you do not over crowd the pot. As soon as the water returns to a boil, the corn is done. This should only take 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover the pot with a lid. The corn can stay in the hot water for up to 30 minutes.

FIELD NOTES It's only June 22nd and it already feels like the long hot summer. We are in a drought condition right now and our next best chance of any kind of soaking rain will be this Wednesday. Let's hope it happens because the fields are looking pretty dire. Normally we have sweet corn for the 4th of July but because of the lack of rain and the heat it will be delayed as well as many other crops. On a happy note, we have a wonderful share for you this week. We're excited to have new offerings of mixed beets, baby scallions, and summer squash. As I am writing this our new tent is being erected in place of the farmstand. We finally received the part we were missing and if all goes well we may have a new CSA setup soon!

Be sure to read everything through if this is your first week, there is a lot of info here. We finally had a little rainfall last Saturday and it helped a bit but we need much more. We've actually had to irrigate the crops by tractor after hours most nights to keep the green alive. It's been hot and the soil is so dry it's like dust in the wind. Many thanks to my farming partners for lending us a hand. Farmers help farmers, that's what we do! High Tunnel 2 is looking amazing right now after we trellised and clipped the heirloom tomatoes. It's looking like we'll have the earliest fruit of the season. Cucumbers and celery also went in the ground this past week too, so many new varieties and we can't wait to share them all with you. So, how is your CSA going so far? We want to hear from you! Message us at bardwellfarm@gmail.com and drop us a note. Send us your questions too :) Enjoy the bounty this week!

This is where we will keep you updated about all of these things including the progress of our shared investment. It has been a crazy month finishing up everything for the CSA and as you can imagine COVID19 made us rethink EVERYTHING. Although it has been difficult we feel it has made us stronger as a crew. We are proud to be the first farm in our local area to implement safety procedures not only for our farmstand, customers, and crew, but also extending those same methods to our CSA farm share and it's members. The fields are prepped and planted! We laid miles of plastic and planted thousands of seedlings and seeds. It was many snowy and rainy days of planning and meetings. When the rains stopped, we got out there as early as we could and stayed out there as long as we could. There were so many dark til' dark days, more than we can count. Despite our cold and wet spring our technique of using new products such as row cover and the incorporation of our new high tunnels, we are proud to be able to supply you with a wonderful bounty for your first week. We need a rain dance, who's game? Things are really dry out there right now and we are hoping for rain. On the other hand the warmer weather has really helped pushed some of the other crops along. We're staying super busy keeping up with weeds and irrigating as much as possible. You asked and we listened. Look for many new vegetable varieties coming this year.

FIELD NOTES  We already miss you... It's Week 20, the last week of the farm share and we're bummed. I knew this day would come but we never took into consideration the relationships we would form, come to enjoy, and love week after week. We all shared our ups and downs, we joked and laughed, but most of all, we shared our love of food and where it comes from. Is it too early to say, we can't wait for June? In honor of the last week and to show our gratitude, we are making this week's share much larger than normal. Feel free to swap items or pass along to another member if you have an abundance of one particular item in your pantry. Don't forget about the CSA Pumpkin Carving Contest! This week we will give participating members a large pumpkin for carving and a medium one to those who are not and would like to decorate their step. Be sure to review the rules and dates below. Lastly, we are in the planning stages of a possible soup/winter CSA for January and February. We are pretty excited about it and hope everything falls into place for the coming year.

RAIN ALERT FRIDAY The forecast is calling for possible rain Friday. We will be moving our pickup location indoors if the chance increases.  The Bardwell Farm pumpkin patch! FIELD NOTES It really felt like fall this past weekend and we all dressed for it! Unfortunately the first frost took most of the vulnerable crops, but we were in good position knowing ahead of time. Friday the crew spent the day picking up winter squash and pumpkins and the last of the tomato crop is in too. Compared to last year we now have a bounty in storage and we will have all of your Thanksgiving veggies at the ready. My father and I are hustling to finish up the greenhouse. The main frame is complete and we are beginning the end walls. It is now a race against the weather. When everything is complete we will have new growing tools for season 2020! Only 2 weeks left (including this one) of the farm share. I know we talked about it last week, but we really can't believe it's going to be done for the season. We're really pumped about the Pumpkin Carving Contest for the last hoorah and hoping most of you can join! See you all this week :) Owner Harrison Bardwell WHAT TO USE FIRST
