Rains have been steady and temperatures moderate, so plants are doing well.
Tomatoes are starting to show some volume. Early tomato harvests this season has been a fail. We hope the field crops will produce through September and more.
New grow of raspberries are coming on now. Even some blueberries are ripening.
Arugula is in good supply. Sweet Peppers are ripening too. We have a new variety called Hungarian Hot Wax, very hot, too hot for me.
We are planting spinach for fall. We will let you know how that comes out.
The best days for pick up orders at the farm are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week we are picking for farmers markets and its more difficult to find the time to pick for orders, especially with the worker shortage. Our customized “you decide” CSA is very time consuming when there are worker shortages.
Be sure you have a confirmation that your order and pick up time are “OK”.
Milford Farmers market is Saturday on Elm Street, Milford, across from the antique shop, and the Agway. Hours are 10-1PM.
Peterborough farmers market is Wednesday 3-6 PM at the Peterborough Community Center.
Francestown Community Market is Friday from 4-6:30PM at the sheds in Francestown.
