Hello from the gardens, We are ever hopeful for a calm and productive summer season ahead. With the Summer Solstice this Friday it marks the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. "Sun is shining. Weather is sweet. Make you wanna move your dancing feet." – Bob Marley
Getting lots of garlic scapes and they're available on the order form. Next week we'll start picking "green garlic". It's fresh bulbs that aren't ready for storage but a delicious early treat.
Asparagus is a perennial vegetable so it comes back year after year. That being said it will soon be time to stop picking it so the plant has time to soak up the summer sun and put lots of energy back into the roots so it can produce next year. This is the same for Rhubarb, so get it while you can and consider freezing some for a winter treat.
What's happening at the farm:
Summer Solstice Yoga Around the Bonfire
Join Angie Feuillatre around the bonfire for this energizing evening of yoga and meditation.

Reminder
We are not planning to open the Market Stand this season for a number of reasons. Our plan is to transition to a more interactive approach where we will not only offer online ordering but also facilitated U-Pick opportunities starting in July. Stay tuned!
We will continue offering the weekly order form option as the way to what's available from the greenhouse, outdoors and of course the hens. Thank You for supporting small scale growing and community.
