WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE FARM

These two just bring the laughs!

Time to make the sauce, we have canning tomatoes at the stand!

The river is beautiful but it's banks is covered in poison ivy... the pitfalls of irrigation!

We introduced cherry tomatoes this week!

Look what's coming in, fall is coming!

Get your fill, summer only lasts so long!

Another round of broccoli heading to the barn to get cooled down before we ship it out!

So glad to be using this reel and pump, a big thank you to my farming friends!

The first 50 posts of the new high tunnel are in the ground!

Peppers as big as your head!
