Changes happen fast around here. Our second market of the week opened this week, Tuesday, with much fanfare and commotion. We had a busy and successful night. Thanks to all for coming and supporting us and all the vendors. We look forward to another great season.
We are growing some new varieties this year including a new English pea called Penelope (ahhh). It sports a densely packed pod of small, sweet peas, most picturesque. Also, to fan the kale-craze flames, a broader leafed kale called Rainbow Lacinato kale.

The farm stand will open soon. Still haven’t set a date, but the decor has been planted.

Rainbow lacinato is totally my favorite kale. Great flavor and the variations in color are so fun!

Thanks Andrea, for the input. Seems like a good one to us as well. Perfect for chips with its large surface!

Saw your 2011 film on Hulu.. it is inspiring. We are Organic Crop farmers since 2013. Hubby has always wanted to do dairy but with our age group it would be hard on us. So Crops are better for us..keep up the good work. I have a blog that is a lot smaller then yours, it is Our Farm Adventure (https://organiccropfarm.blogspot.com). Farming is such a great thing and so rewarding..
