FIELD NOTES
The heat is back and thankfully the overnight storms haven't been to bad. Did you know we're getting almost an inch of rain for every storm, if not more?  

Don't forget Tuesday and Friday, during CSA hours, we will be sampling 10 varieties of tomatoes, including heirlooms. Of course we'll have salt and pepper, olive oil and specialty vinegars to pair too. To cleanse your palate in between we'll have Mother's Pickles and bread from Woodstar Cafe. It'll be fun!

High Tunnel 2 is finally in operation and we’ll be planting a peas and oats cover crop to over winter. Next spring we’ll be planting several varieties of tomatoes for an early summer harvest. We're so excited!

September is almost here and our greenhouse project will be next. Soon we’ll be building hoops and the end wall configurations. 2020 is shaping up to be an amazing year.

Looking forward to seeing you all this week!
