2015 Availability List - August 10 Update

With hundreds of seeds growing under grow lights inside in the air conditioning awaiting for cooler weather, it's always time for harvesting, planting, weeding, and planning, not to mention all the baking, creating and caring for critters we do each day of the week.  Crop rotation, succession planting, creating a biological ecosystem where assassin bugs, chickens, guineas, geese, ducks and turkeys help us with our crop pest control, composting, and the list goes on....now if we can come up with a solution for the unwanted grass, aka weeds in our gardens, we will have it made. Laying cardboard boxes down and putting chips on top will eventually pay off and allll the grass/weed seeds will cease to live. Note to self - darkness does not kill all weed seeds but it does help so don't give up!!








We now have a self service farm stand at the entrance of our farm and are happy that folks are responding wonderfully.  We've met a lot of real nice folks that appreciate our efforts and we thank you all very much.  I didn't have time to take photographs but here's a list of things available this week - Sunday - Friday - Closed Saturdays:
