New in the store this week we have some pac choi and hakurei salad turnip bunches from the bed sides in the greenhouse, and some spicy mix coming in hot from the first planting out in the field. We again have red round radish, basil, chives, garlic chives, green onion, celery, parsley, arugula, spinach, chard and lots more salad mix available, and carrot, beet, parsnip, rutabaga, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato and garlic from storage.

Salad mix is back this week in a limited supply from our greenhouse beds. This mix of salanova lettuce was put through some early challenges with a heavy aphid outbreak shortly after transplanting in February, but with help from some aphid predator bugs has made a comeback and is ready to eat this week. Also new this week are some chives, red radish bunches, the first light pick from the new spring celery and long green onions from the greenhouse. We have only a few kale rapini on offer this spring as we had a dismal survival rate over winter, but they are here this week and wont wait! Coming up next week will be fresh hakurei turnip and pac choi bunches, and more salad mix.

This week in the store we have some more arugula, spinach, green onion, curly and Red Russian kale bags and Swiss chard available, as well as carrots, beets, rutabaga, parsnip, winter radish, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato, onion and garlic, and some garlic chives returning in the outside perennial garden.

We are back this week after an extra-long March break. Our boys were both home with the flu the entire week before the break, and Jesse and I were taken out for most of the March break week, but my sisters came to help out and managed to plant the entire greenhouse into hot crops like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and cucumbers, with some extra crops tucked into the bed edges to make use of the space before the main crops need it. In the coming weeks we will have new arugula, radishes, hakurei, basil, salanova, green onion and pac choi, but we have a bit more waiting to do until those crops mature. Our resident greenhouse toad has made himself a cozy new hole between tomato plants, and some aphid predators are hard at work fending off the larger than ideal swarms throughout the greenhouse now.

Our Fall Farm Share (CSA) program starts in just 3 weeks!

Grab some spring equinox radishes in our online store today!! These were started January 23rd in paperpot chains, transplanted to the greenhouse February 6th, and are out today in order to plant cucumbers in their place. Germinating these in paperpot chains allowed us to sneak in a harvest between crops when we otherwise wouldn't have had time.

Support A Local Farm This Season!! 🧑‍🌾🥕
