This Week’s Availability
This week we will have fresh beet bunches, fresh carrot bunches, green cabbage, scallions, slicing cucumbers, broccolini, garlic scapes*, salad turnips, bok choi, radishes, green curly kale bunches, lacinato kale bunches, rainbow chard, spinach, arugula, baby lettuce, basil, rhubarb, sugarsnap peas, summer squash, green zucchini, and costata romanesco zucchini.
*Some of the garlic scapes this week have a harder end of the stem this week. If you snap at the bottom, it will break between the harder part and the tender part, and I compost the harder part.

Farmhenge? No… we just pile rocks so they are visible to the mower until we run around the fields to load rocks into the tractor bucket and pile on the edge of our fields, photo by Adam Ford

It’s been a real delight this summer that our kids have been working with the team for the mornings that they are free… Sky especially takes a lot of pride in all the farming skills he is learning, though he regularly reminds me that he’s going to be a meteorologist (who plays piano in a hotel lobby on weekends) when he grows up, and not a farmer, photo by Adam Ford
