This week's farm news:
Well, friends, today wraps up this year's summer veggie share! I honestly can't believe it, though. I can't believe summer is fading and fall is upon us. This cooler weather is tantalizing and feels much more fall-like. In fact, during Friday's harvest was the first time since I don't know when that I didn't break a sweat while working! Most of our week this week was spent preparing the farm for our time away. I think it's impossible, with all that we are doing, to ever feel fully prepared to leave for vacation. But, we're leaving the farm in Jesse & Hannah's very competent hands, so that feels good...
We really want to shout out a great-big-gigantic-heartfelt thank you to all of you for taking part in this year's summer CSA. Many blessings to you all!
And if you're getting a fall share, we'll see you Oct. 4!

2014 Season, week 18
September 6, 2014
This week's harvest:
Arugula
"Patty Pan" Summer Squash
Garlic
Onions
Tomatoes
Sweet Peppers
Hot Peppers
Potatoes
and a few Melons for those that have still missed out...
This week's farm news:
Can you believe it's September already? I can't! These months are passing so quickly!
On the farm this week we squeezed a little bit more fall planting in, in between rounds of rain. We yanked out the eggplant (which had completely petered out) and re-vamped those beds for Chinese cabbage, kale, and arugula. We also yanked out broom corn and zinnias (which the sheep destroyed!) to plant some carrots and daikon. We are working on preparing the garlic beds for this year's planting that will be in just a few weeks when we return from our trip to the beach. On that note, I hope y'all got the email about next Saturday: We hope to double your shares next week (combining weeks 19 & 20) so that while we are away Jesse and Hannah won't have to do a CSA delivery in addition to everything else they'll be doing for us!

This week's farm news:
Eric and I spent a fair bit of time on the road this week. We drove to Virginia (yes, Virginia!) to pick up a new bull. It's kind of a crazy thing to do - hauling a 2,000 pound animal in a trailer through the mountains! But, it was also my birthday, so Eric thought it would make a fun birthday road trip. We made a few stops along the way, Monticello being one, but once we got that bull loaded, we pointed the truck west and headed directly to the farm. It was about 10 1/2 hours of driving with a mere 5-minute re-fueling stop. That was a long day. But we made it and we were so relieved with the new bull, Goldie, was able to set his feet firmly on the farm! Crazy, fun times!!
