Prepping for Garlic Planting
We finally got some rain Sunday night. Which for us is about the first time it has rained on the farm in two months. The droughty weather has not affected us very much because as we slide into shorter fall…
Hello November
It is hard to believe that it is November but I feel like I say that every fall particularly once the time change happens. Things are slowing down at the farm, now that we have had a hard freeze killing…
Nothing Spooky just Delicious
It may be warm and sunny right now but we got a killing frost Monday morning taking out all our tomato, pepper, and tomatillo plants. But don’t worry we did a big harvest the day before. So we will have…
Sweet Potatoes are Ready
Last week the temperatures were chilly on the farm. We had several mornings of a light frost blanketing the field. But most of our crops survived. Our cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers have lived to see another day.…

The Missing Crop
We had a fun and restful Labor Day away from the farm. But our summer crops don’t take a day off as their fruit is growing, ripening, and waiting to be harvested every single day. We continue to have a…
Labor Day Vibes
Last night we had another great gleaning event at our farm. Over a dozen volunteers with the Maryland Food Bank turned out. The August heat made for a warm and sticky evening but the many hands made for light work.…
