Two Feet in the Dirt

It’s been another wild week of weather, with a hard frost on Monday morning and temperatures up near 90 by the end of the week! In just a few days, we went from blanketing the summer crops in the hoop house under multiple layers of row cover to keep them warm to watering all of the greens like crazy trying to keep them cool.

What made things even more unpredictable is that, at the start of all of the heat, our well went dry! Well, not dry in the sense I automatically thought of, as in- there is no more water. Instead, a mechanical failing in our pump meant that earlier this week, just as the heat was setting in, we suddenly were not able to get any water to come out of the spigots. Fortunately, the well company was able to come out incredibly quickly and had fixed everything in less than 24 hours, but it definitely threw a wrench in our plans for the week and set us a little behind schedule at a time of year when it can be hard to catch back up.

Nevertheless, we’re looking forward to another week at the farmers market! Check out our harvest list below for this Saturday’s offerings and we look forward to seeing you there!
