2016 CSA – Week 14
Hey Folks, This week has a little bit of a “farming as usual” feel to it. We no longer farm dawn until dusk – now it’s more like sun up to “whenever we turn the lights off.” I’m not sure I appreciate the person who decided it is a good idea to have lights onContinue reading “2016 CSA – Week 14”
Week 11 – 2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA
Hey Folks! It’s hard to believe that it’s that time again… time when the days begin to get shorter, the nights may cool off, and the kiddos go back to school.

This week we learned what raccoons can do to sweet corn. We went to pick some sweet corn that we watching closely and itContinue reading “2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 9”
2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 8
Hey Folks! I am happy to say that this week you will all be receiving sweet corn! Unfortunately, here is where we apologize in advance. After this week, it looks like the sweet corn will be a little spotty for a bit. This means that half of you may receive sweet corn one week, whileContinue reading “2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 8”
2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 7
Hey Folks! This week we are introducing our newest crew member: Tater. She is a 10 week old beagle-lab mix that is not even as big as our boots. Tater instantly found her place on the farm among the potato patch, although she finds that carrot tops provide excellent shade for taking a napContinue reading “2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 7”
2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 6
Hey Folks! Well, even though it feels like fall this week, it’s definitely summer. We’ve finished picking peas, spinach and radishes for the summer. These crops really like to have cooler weather or else they get bitter or spicy. Luckily we have started into the green bean harvest and have been able to grow someContinue reading “2015 Pekarek’s Produce CSA – Week 6”
