Fall is here and it has been a great year!

 Market sales have all been up this year!  Thanks to everyone for supporting us at each farm market and farm stand.

We are still seeding: in the green house: lettuce, pac choi, radishes. red beets, arugala and small turnips for the high tunnel so that we will have fresh crops for winter and early spring markets. 

We are building  a new high tunnel right now!  We are excited about this new project.  This new tunnel will give us more room to grow winter crops and it will also give us a covered area to grow more of the wonderful cherry tomatoes that all the customers rave about at each market.

We are harvesting now : lettuce, spinach, radishes, arugula, green beans, broccoli, Swiss chard, carrots, beets, zucchini, Brussels Sprouts,  raspberries, and kale.

WE have Stored for the Winter:  onions, cabbage, carrots, beets, winter squash, pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and apples.

We are cleaning all the black plastic out of the fields; pulling tomato stakes; seeding cover crops on all open ground; mowing everything; pruning blackberries and gooseberries; weeding strawberries.

We are managing the layers, hogs, and broilers.  We will be butchering a batch of broilers in two weeks.
