COMING SOON:

As we look ahead, summer is starting to show it signs of not lasting forever but The vast color in the share should be around a couple more weeks!

The cooler nights have slowed some things down, like our beloved summer squash. Alas, it will be bringing with it however those Spring greens and wonderous root vegetables.

Jared has done a great push to get as many seeds out directly into our Fall field and soon we will be transplanting what we started in flats as well!

Soon enough we will be seeing this beautiful overlap on the benches of the end of summer goodies and the bounty of a Fall harvest with staples like winter squash and sweet potatoes!

Last years Fall green’s field, a sight to look forward too soon!
