Summer Sneaking up

The first Farmer's Market was yesterday, and despite the rainy weather we've been having, it was a beautiful and relaxed morning to see old friends and meet new ones.

An early morning walk through the wet grass to the farm reveals rows of cabbage and broccoli that will be ready to pick in just a few weeks, lush potato plants working away at making little spuds of all kinds, and of course, weeds. New watering systems, the herb and flower gardens, and the future Lake City Harvest Festival pumpkin patch are making themselves at home here.

Our newest WWOOFers, Claire and Chris, are fitting in beautifully, and somehow their focus and determination have inspired everyone to be just a little more creative. Good things are happening on the farm. Next Sunday we'll be sponsoring a potluck celebration of community and abundance on the first day of summer, and not too long after that, we'll open the U-Pick for the season - some time between the 4th of July and the middle of the month. We'll see how everything is growing. For now, we are starting to get delicious greens and radishes for the people who live here, and the cloudy mornings will soon give way to bright sunny days in the garden. There's so much work to be done and so much to be learned and discovered.

Grown With Love.
