FIELDS NOTES
Picture
Tractors make farmers right as rain :)

Another week is in the books and it's felt like we're working round the clock. Up at 5, out the door before 6, work 'til dark, office work until ya can't keep your eyes open, and then it starts all over again...rinse, lather, repeat... yep, thats farming!

Sweet corn is really showing growth now with the holiday coming in less than a week, leafy greens and brassicas are producing wonderfully, and we are getting more late season crops in the ground. While we keep up with cultivation, we’re watching field tomato growth. And, good news, blueberries are here!

The heat really has boosted our heirloom tomatoes, we're seeing fruit the size of our fist. We have plenty of crops in abundance and we're picking fresh every morning before the 2pm heat kicks-in.

It's going to be a warm start to the week, the heat and humidity returns, remember to hydrate, and take it easy folks.

See you soon!

Owner Harrison Bardwell
