This season felt like a run through the gauntlet.  We started with back to back to back Nor'easters in March and fought the weather all season long.   It's perhaps a little more of a relief this year just to make it to the finish line of the season!  Despite the...

A little bit of a rainy start to the weekend, but the crisp air is finally here to go along with all the Fall favorite veggies.  The CSA share will look like this: Lettuce Mix Broccoli Kohlrabi Peppers (Hot & Sweet) Collard Greens Sweet Potatoes Dry Beans Popcorn...

The Fall harvest is in an upswing finally.  Although the damp and dreary days continue we have a bunch of new crops to harvest this week.  Better late than never!  We also had a busy weekend harvesting and bottling honey. This Fall honey is a much darker amber color...

We decorated the CSA pick up pavilion today! Sorry for the late blog, but we arrived home in the dark on Sunday night and I wasn't quite sure what would be ready to harvest for the share this week.  Turns out that we'll have a few familiar items to everyone back in...

There is no doubt that the 2nd half of the season has been challenging.  We have gone a little off track as far as what is going in the CSA shares due to some crop failures and having to harvest the winter squash early due to the fact that the large amount of rain was...

There is not much summer left in the weather or in the CSA shares for 2018.  This week will most likely be the last week for our eggplant and the first week without tomatoes since early July.  We've had a good year of both despite the very challenging conditions...

We have a very different type of share this week.  I think we will have the trusty peppers and tomatoes yet but beyond them it's really going to get different!  We are going to have two real southern staple foods okra and collard greens.  With the heat predicted this...

There are a few crops that have just loved this wet summer.  One of them is the peppers.  We have had quite the harvest of red sweet frying peppers, bells peppers, and now the hot peppers are also really rolling in.  The beans are happy too!  This week we will have...

As I am sure everyone can guess,  we have a lot of great help on the farm to ensure a successful season.  The picture of our crew above was taken this Tuesday.  Missing were Brandy and Andeana. With the end of summer closing in and school starting back up we had to...

Somehow, someway we missed a lot of the rain this weekend.  We still had 3/4 of an inch but from the reports I heard about, we were lucky that is all we got.  We sure hope we can manage to dodge some more storms this week.  We still have a lot of potatoes to dig,...

It keeps getting wetter and wetter, but we keep on trying to roll with it right now.  Saturday morning we woke up to find a river of water running through our basement.  Oddly, we never had a drop of water in the basement since we lived here, but apparently when the...

  Lots of these red guys hanging on the vines right now!   It looks to be a great week for tomatoes of all shapes and sizes.  We will also be picking our larger traditional red watermelon for the share.   Despite over 6 inches of rain last week they look like...

Stormy weather is in the forecast this week.  With tomato season just starting out it makes for some nervous farmers!   We hope you have been enjoying this year's colorful blend of cherry tomatoes.  We have trialed many different varieties over the years, but I think...

Just when you thought things couldn't get any sweeter here at the farm, this week we will have special guests visiting us on Tuesday from Augusta Acres Farm.  Augusta Acres is a small sustainable farm located near the Delaware River in northeast Pennsylvania.  Todd...

We are really getting into the heart of the CSA season now and some the highly anticipated crops are here!  In fact, there are so many new things to harvest and report about I am not sure where to even begin...  Let's start with the honey harvest! This weekend Heather...

We're having a very strange year as far as when vegetables are ready to be harvested this year.  It all goes back to the very cold and snowy April followed by a very warm and wet May.  This week our two newcomers to the CSA share the carrots and the sweet peppers have...

Well we made it!  That's always my feeling as we push through the long daylight hours leading up to the summer solstice.  Now every day the sun goes down just a little earlier and it also means I quit working outside just a little earlier too!  Believe it or not, we...

The first heat wave of the summer has arrived and so have some new  items for the CSA.  We just finished up picking a few bushels of shell peas this evening.  The peas really went through a lot of tough weather this Spring but have been quite productive!   For...

This week we'll have zucchini in the CSA share.  The earliest we have ever had some ready to pick.  I researched this by taking a stroll back through memory lane and reading all our June blogs from the past.  I updated the home page to include a couple of my...
