The season is off to a great start and we've got lots more in the works for you.
Carrots: The inconsistent weather and rain has been rough on the carrots. When moisture reaches the core of the carrots, it causes them to expand, which causes the carrots to tear themselves open. We're hoping to have some happy, whole carrots ready for you soon.
Greens: The bits of hot weather have sent the broccoli rabe to flower and have killed the last bits of last year's lettuce, meaning we're going to have to grow some more for you. You'll be getting plenty of greens all summer long.
Goats: Two goats will be joining us on the farm this week! These Alpine-mix dairy goats won't be ready for milking for a few years, but they'll help to diversify the farm and make the soil richer.
Leeks: We've just planted about 700 leeks and we've got 2,000 more that need to go in the ground. So get ready, these mellow spring onions will be arriving later in the season!
Strawberries: Hopefully our fresh, juicy strawberries will be ready in June. The plants have flowers on them, which means berries should be coming soon!
Other veggies coming soon include radishes, turnips, and lots of tomatoes. Just last week we put 1,500 tomato plants in the ground. There'll be Italian Red Pears, Great Whites, and a wide variety of heirloom cherries for you to try.
We'll see you at the market!
