Two Feet in the Dirt

It’s been a strange spring in terms of weather. We started out with an exceptionally warm February and early March. Our first crops seeded in the hoop house germinated in about half the time we usually expect at that point in the season. However, the weather cooled off significantly in the last few weeks. Usually, we are beginning to plant summer crops this week, but with nighttime temperatures forecast to be in the 30s at the end of this week and into next week, it looks like we’ll be holding off until things warm up a little. This can be a hassle as the transplants are quite big and ready to go in the ground and now we’ll have to baby them along a little bit longer until the temperatures even out. Fortunately, we’ve already planted the first of the peppers and beans in the warmth of our hoop house!

This week we’ll be harvesting even more bunched kale along with starting to move into some new varieties of lettuce. Now that we have an increasingly large selection of items, please note that in order to see all of the items we have available, you will need to press the “Load More” button at the bottom of the page. The page will only load 12 items initially, so we don’t want anyone to miss out on all that we have.

See below for this week’s full harvest list. The online store will open at noon this Thursday!
