It is finally feeling like summer to me now that we are eating tomatoes and cucumbers. The cucumbers grow so fast, as do the zucchini, which we have lots of. We’ll be setting up at the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market this Saturday!

Swimming in beautiful salad greens right now! We have some lovely fall lettuce & Asian greens because we made the decision to not rescue a block of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers this summer that got too weedy during the heatwave. It was a matter of where to spend our time. Small farms were making difficult decisions all over I imagine. @newwestfarmers and @abbotsfordfarmandcountrymarket for Salad mix, Salanova (pictured), Red Sails (large leaves good for lettuce wraps), along with winter squash, Sieglinde potatoes (a.k.a German Butter), baby beets and more! 💚 The Abbotsford market runs till the end of the month and the New West Market wraps up on November 4.A week ago I was helping to bring in more winter squash. (this photo). Today I was harvesting greens in the rain. We have cover crops germinating in various blocks.💚🌱 Our market season and our CSA are continuing strong into the end of this month. The @newwestfarmers will continue and finish up on November 4. 🥗 You can find us tomorrow @abbotsfordfarmandcountrymarket with beautiful lettuces, collards, kale and more. Will have our delicious lineup of winter squash as well! Our daughter even has a handful of dahlia bouquets! Thanks for your support.We are bringing in the winter squash these days, one wheelbarrow at a time.A peek inside yesterday’s CSA box. Red Kuri winter squash, red onions, romaine, parsley, cherry tomatoes and Sieglinde potatoes.Harvesting mild and wild brassica mix to be blended with Salanova lettuces for salads. 🥬See you at @newwestfarmers today and @abbotsfordfarmandcountrymarket Saturday!Oh hey! I've been enjoying a little more disconnection from being online lately. Thought I would give a brief update here though. We are taking care of our new fall crops (kale, beets, lettuces etc.) and enjoying the fruits of some that are still producing from the summer (tomatoes, eggplant). I think there are a few trays left to be planted too.2011-2018 photos
