Farm Tour on Saturday!
Come join us this Saturday, March 16th, at 10:30am for our next Farm Tour! We are so excited to share what we’ve been planting over the past couple of weeks for the spring season. One of the highlights of our tour this month will be our high tunnel (above). In addition to our cheery row of marigolds, you’ll be able to see newly planted crops like scallions, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil. As always, our tours are open to the public, free of charge, and suitable for all ages. We hope to see you there!
We are pleased to report that all of our tomatoes have been planted! We have them split between the field and the high tunnel as we’ve done in years past. While checking our trellis system in the high tunnel this week, we spotted the very first baby tomatoes (below)! Here’s a closer look at the varieties we’ll be growing this year: Sun Gold (super sweet orange cherry tomato), Cherry Bomb (classic red cherry tomato), Valencia (orange slicing tomato), Clementine (sweet-tart orange cocktail tomato), and Galahad (red beefsteak tomato).
Tender and sweet spring onions are back in season at the Farm Stand. Spring onions (below) are an immature bulb onion with a sweet, mellow flavor and tender texture. They’re harvested in the process of thinning our bulb onions which allows space for the remaining bulbs to develop and grow. These onions can be enjoyed raw as a garnish or cooked. We recommend trying them with some of our chard and dill in an omelet or frittata this weekend!
In Season at the Farm Stand: Spring Onions, Salad Mix, Arugula, Kale, Collards, Swiss Chard, Kohlrabi, Fennel, Dill, and Marigold Bouquets
Coming Soon: Cucumbers, Zucchini, and Summer Squashes
