The crew has been planting away this week! There is now lettuce, kohlrabi, bok choy and kale in the ground. These are all crops that can tolerate cooler temperatures as we are still getting some cold nights! We are continuing to harvest tulips and fancy daffodils from the field as well as a few crops from the high tunnels. We are keeping an eye on the asparagus, it looks like it will be ready for harvest in a week or two! Online ordering will open today, Thursday April 28th at noon for pick up Friday, April 29th from 2pm-4pm and 4pm-6pm (ordering will close at 7am Friday). Pick-ups will again be on the porch of our farm stand at 449 Barretts Mill Rd. Concord, MA.
