On the farm this week: These cooler temps and RAIN have been absolutely amazing! For the first time this summer our pump has not had to run 24hours a day to keep everything alive. As we move closer to the fall season we are composting some long season crops we planted back in march and will soon replace them with long season crops that love the cold and will feed us through the winter.
Tomatoes and Basil can not go in the cooler so they are on the CSA ONLY TABLE to the left of the walk-in cooler.
