Last Pick Up

Hi All,

This year has taken its toll on both the farm and the family.  As hard as Linda and the boys are trying to keep the drought at bay Mother Nature is faster -  almost all the lettuce that was recently transplanted has died, the pumpkin plants are small and yellow and the winter squash isn't gaining much size at all.

This weeks pickup will have tomatoes, cucumbers and swiss chard.  Please take advantage of the herb garden - the basil is going to seed but there is plenty of it.  Time to make some pesto and freeze for a summer treat in the middle of winter!

After this weeks pick up Linda will be opening the fields up to u-pick rather then having anymore pick-ups - it will just be too hit and miss about things coming in - i.e there may be beans but there may not.  I will still try to keep you advised about what there is but it will be open to you to harvest if you want.

I would like to ask that you only come to harvest during the times that the Feed Barn is open monday thru friday, Thanks


Looking forward to seeing you
The Farm Foodie
