Farm News

The team did an awesome job holding down the farm this week, including keeping up with the endless task of tomato trellising, some field prep and fall seeding, and getting an excellent jump on some weeding projects. It’s an incredible gift to be able to sneak away on a family vacation in the summer on a veggie farm. So, big thanks to all the farmers at Evening Song Farm for allowing us to have this recharge.

It’s likely we will start having pick-your-own blueberries available starting this week, but without being home yet and observing the bushes ourselves, we will send out a separate email to give people info on blueberry picking.

Instead of a longer newsletter, enjoy the photo tour below for this week, as we pack our family up to come home to Vermont!

Have a great week,

-ESF Team: Ryan, Kara, K2, Cindy, Taylor, Leah, Natalie, Katie, Galen, Vanessa, Miguel, Georgia, and Hannah (and Sky and Soraya)
