Things have been humming along smoothly so far this spring (as smoothly as things ever go with farming - there are always a few curveballs!). With a core group of farmers who all have at least 2 seasons here under their belts, we are feeling like a well-oiled machine. We’ve also got some new college students who will be rounding out the crew over the next 2 weeks - just in time for weeds and harvesting to really take off!
With no substantial precipitation last week, the asparagus harvest has slowed a bit, so we will have a limit of one bunch per customer to start the week. If we can up the limit later this week, we will. We are open for walk-up sales Tuesday - Saturday. See below for hours. Online pre-ordering opens tonight, Monday May 15th at 6pm, for Wednesday May 17th pick-up. Ordering will close Wednesday at 6am.
