Photos from the farm



This year we planted five 1000-ft beds of storage cabbage. We hope to provide you with 2 to 3 heads each of red and green cabbage this fall. Both are new varieties bred by Bejo, a Dutch seed company. Bejo is breeding new varieties especially for the fresh market, organic grower. We trialed the varieties last season and were very happy with the results. We hope they are as successful this season.

We are in the middle of harvesting the fall root crops. Here is the crew harvesting the beets for this week's share. We had our first frost of the season on Monday night which causes the root crops and leafy greens to be much sweeter in taste than the ones harvested before the frost.
