FIELD NOTES
​How's it going folks? Welcome to Week 11! 

We are now half way through the farm share program and we would love to know what you think so far. Are you happy? Is there something we missed? Your feedback will help us continue to improve your weekly experience. Please message us at [email protected]

So much has happened over the last week. In between harvesting and cultivation, we've been seeding and finishing the plastic on High Tunnel 2. I'm so happy the roll-up sides are almost complete. Trying to do this in between our regular schedule has been really crazy.

Thank god for my father, he's been doing a ton of work shoring-up the barn getting ready for the new mechanical room. Then... the greenhouse. So much to do, so little time. Thanks again Dad!

We just started pulling all of the materials together for the Tomato Tasting on August 20th and 23rd. We're really hoping the next batch of heirlooms will be ready in time. Our fingers are crossed and we hope you can join in the fun!

​See you soon :)

Owner Harrison Bardwell

How To Make Kale Chips
Donal Skehan
Kale is an incredible superfood packed with vitamins and minerals but all that aside it can be transformed into one of the healthiest and addictive little snacks - spicy kale chips!
