Glorious RAIN! Full Markets & Store
The veggies and farmers are loving all the rain we’ve gotten so far this week! This kind of prolonged rain is what we need to replenish the moisture in our soil rather than isolated dowpours which mostly ends up running off before it can soak in. There’s nothing better than walking the fields after a rain storm and seeing the the crops lush and full of water, especially after a dry spell. I swear you can watch em grow in those moments! Everything is happy now and we’ll be loading up for the markets this weekend with lots of lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, cabbages and more!
Odd week around here, folks. The photo above doesn’t have a filter on it, that’s just what it was like working in the fields today. I hope I never have to get used to farming through wildfire smoke, but this is the third summer straight with these types of events and much of the country is in some level of drought conditions, so that doesn’t bode well for the coming years. There is a chance for a powerful el nino event this winter which would bring some much needed moisture along with it. Let’s hope that comes to fruition.
In spite of the ominous haze, the farm is cruising along and we’ve got a great lineup of produce coming to the markets this week into the weekend. Tomatoes will make their first appearance at our markets, squash and zukes are going gangbusters, the cabbage is sweet, and the cukes are crisp! Corn and Blueberries from Warner will be in the farm store all weekend and at the Cheshire Medical Center on Thursday this week. It feels like summer around here!
