July Lettuce
One of our goals this year was to improve our salad greens. In years past, our lettuce mix gave up to the July heat and we would go through the months of July and August with all the fixings to make a great salad but had no greens to go with them! One thing is for...
The Heat Is On
Greg will be taking a break…just from the blog today! So if it seems a different style that’s why. Still looking at that red cabbage and not sure what to do with it, we shared a recipe on the website- you won’t be disappointed and it uses the usual suspects from the...
Busy As A Bee
The bees have had a tremendously successful Spring harvest this year and we were able to extract some of their extra supply. We were able to harvest honey in July for the first time since my Dad started beekeeping two years ago. Generally, bees will need to...
Strawberry Fields Forever
The blazing hot sun the past week was good for some and bad for others. The strawberries of course loved it and they ripened up in abundance! The spinach, arugula, and even the broccoli was not so thrilled. We will have a shortened spinach & arugula season and...
Crankin’ it Out
The weather has been cooperating and the work is ramping up on the farm! Here are a few pictures of just a few of the things we've been up to: Celery & Celeriac Hanging bluebird houses to help with cabbage worms hopefully! Peas & Spinach are in the ground...
The Finish Line
This is the final week for the 2015 CSA season, the inaugural year at our new farm. The challenges of scaling up from 1 acre to 4 were daunting at times, but we learned and grew a lot! We had some bountiful crops, zucchini and watermelon come right to mind, and we...
Oven Roasted Tomatoes
Set it and forget it. That catch phrase just appeals to me. Its the typical storyline; working mother raising a family and garden, trying to enjoy little moments and savor and preserve the bounty, somehow that last bit gets lost in chores of laundry, dusting, baths...
Who Could Ask For Anything More?
Rain and Strawberries arrive this week. Downright euphoria! After surviving the driest May in 51 years we need them like never before it seems. Unhitching the water buggy from the tractor will feel quite nice. The drought will have some lasting effects on the...
Update to the share
A good news update! Since our lettuce is still too small to harvest, I inquired about lettuce mix with Jeffrey and Kristin of Liberty Gardens in Coopersburg http://libertyorganic.com/index.htm and they were indeed able to help us out for this week. So everyone will...
The “D” Word
Drought. What a way to start out the first year on our new farm! When we first started planting seeds in April, I decided to plant them in a corner of the farm that we really do not have a good way to irrigate. I really didn't think it was that brash of a thing...

What’s all the buzz about???
This weekend we celebrated the first Terra Fauna Farm Honey Harvest. Scott Edelman, Greg’s Dad embarked on a beekeeping mission this year. He has 4 honeybee hives, 2 on Terra Fauna Farm and 2 on Twin Maple Farm in Northampton County. To summarize the lengthy process:...
Season Start Update
Despite the challenging Spring weather, we are still planning to start the CSA on Tuesday May 20th. At this point it looks like the shares will be on the lighter side. We did finally hit the upper 70s and are having some balmy 50 degree nights, and the plants are...
Bzzzzy!
This Spring weather has a two steps forward and one step back feel to it, but we are diligently chipping away at getting the spring crops in the ground. Sometimes it doesn't pay to get things in too early. We planted beets, radish and turnips a few weeks back and...

Autumnal Welcome
This past week closed with merriment for Greg and I as we celebrated Jonas’s first birthday! Jonas enjoyed a big juicy tomato from yours truly at the Bath Farmer’s Market. New this week are PARSNIPS . These pale yellow or ivory colored and bulbous carrot-like...
We sprang a leek
A leek of the edible sort though. If unfamiliar with leeks here is a refresher and a recipe: Leeks have a mild onion-like taste. In its raw state, the vegetable is crunchy and firm. The edible portions of the leek are the white base of the leaves (above the roots and...
