Farm Update

We’ve been busy planting and harvesting out at the farm. Look for okra, Japanese turnips and arugula coming soon.

The recent rain has actually hurt some of our crops. Yes, normally rain is good, but the recent showers have been so heavy and hard, they actually washed away a few rows of greens and other crops.

We’re planting lots of beans and fall/winter squash. Along with Jade green beans, a highly productive heirloom variety, we’re mixing in some Royal Burgundy beans, which look purple raw but turn green when they’re boiled or steamed. Mixing up our varieties helps add biodiversity to the farm.
