This week in the online store we have more cucumbers available, as well as another sprinkling of asparagus, and lots of rhubarb. More mini romaine heads, pac choi, green onion, salad mix, spinach, baby kale, arugula, spicy mix, hakurei, basil, thyme, chives, sweet potato, and the last of our storage items. We sold the last of our winter storage carrots last week and we are so happy with the quantity and quality we were able to provide until the very end. Definitely the longest we have had carrots!

This week in the store we have lots of cucumbers joining the list. Slicers, long English and some bright green long ones called margarita are available starting this week. We also have rhubarb bunches, a few of the first asparagus bunches, some red and green mini Romaine head lettuce, lovage and oregano hitting the store this week. We have lots of salad mix, spicy mix, baby kale, arugula and fresh beds of spinach from the field as well as a beautiful bed of pac choi to pick from, along with hakurei, red radish, green onion, carrots, beets, parsnip, rutabaga, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato and shallot.

In the online store this week we have lots of juicy hakurei salad turnips, red round radish, pac choi, some celery, green onion, lots of salad mix, spinach and new plantings of arugula and baby kale from the field, as well as chives, thyme, parsley, basil, carrots, beet, rutabaga, parsnip, celeriac, kohlrabi, sweet potato, shallot and the last of last years' garlic bulbs.

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.

This is the last week to order before we shut down for a 2-week break to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. We still have a great supply of fresh local greens, herbs, roots, and storage crops available to help add some nutrition to your holiday feasting season, so stock up and make sure you can end the year on a tasty note. We also have some hoodies, hats and preserves available for last minute gifting, as well as gift cards that can be used to set-up a recipient with store credit to use in our online store. And don't forget the sweet winter carrots to leave out for the reindeer!

This week in the online store we have loads of salad mix available now coming from our minimally heated greenhouse. We have now entered frozen and snowy season at the farm, and things outside are well frozen under a layer of snow and ice, but the greenhouse is an oasis of life filled with lots of freshness to keep your bellies happy. We have new pac choi bunches available, and more green onions, arugula, spicy mix, celery, cilantro, dill and Swiss chard also coming from the greenhouse this week. This will be the last week for Romanesco, Brussels sprouts and mini red romaine lettuce.
