Back in the Farm Groove

After a rare mid-season trip off the farm to visit Maine, we're refreshed and ready to be immersed in farm tasks again. The farm was in the best of hands while we were away and everything was well taken care of. An enormous, from the bottoms of our hearts, Thank You goes out to our incredible farm crew Pat, Sarah, Craig, Addie, Jeff, and Wayne!

Since coming back late Friday afternoon we've done our field walk, had Saturday CSA distribution, reshaped a few thousand feet of raised beds for this coming week's round of transplants, mowed and weeded the leek patch, irrigated everything that was thirsty, and harvested about a million cantaloupe. Thankfully the heat wave has now passed. And we are definitely fortunate to have received some rain while gone.

This coming week we have a lot of crops to get in the ground: radishes, turnips, kale, napa cabbage, arugula, kohlrabi, lettuce, romaine, radicchio, chard, beets, cilantro, and dill. All prior to the forecast midweek inundation. Crops need to be cultivated, harvested, irrigated. Weeds need to be pulled, aisles mowed...farm to tend. We're excited to be back!
