Its time for a change in the fields. With the changing weather, we are finishing up a lot of field activity. We have been out putting straw on the strawberries – we hope this helps them get through the winter. Because we drip irrigate everything (or as much as we can) we have been pullingContinue reading “Week 2 – Fall 2018 CSA”

Week 13 – Pekarek’s Produce Weekly Vegetable Subscription
Hello folks, It’s still a little wet around here, and that’s a good thing. Last week we cleaned out the high tunnels and prepped them for new crops.

Sometimes it sounds likeContinue reading “Week 13 – Pekarek’s Produce Weekly Vegetable Subscription”
Week 12 – Pekarek’s Produce Weekly Vegetable Subscription
Hello Folks, Well, last week I was talking about rain and this week we are talking about mud! We ended up with about 4 inches one day and 2 ½ a couple of days later.

Week 9 – Pekarek’s Produce Weekly Vegetable Subscription
Hello Folks! It’s been another busy week around here. We had a new crew member start with us this week for the fall and we are very excited!

Hello folks! I don’t know about you folks, but we are feeling hot – hot – hot! With temperatures staying in the upper 90s this week, we’ve once again changed our transplanting plans.

2017 Week 6 – Weekly Vegetable Subscription
Hello folks! As usual, it’s been a busy week here on the farm. We try not to work on the weekends other than going to Farmer’s Markets on Saturday, but sometimes that just doesn’t work out – and this was one of those weekends. The weather has been pretty warm, to say the least, soContinue reading “2017 Week 6 – Weekly Vegetable Subscription”
2017 Week 5 – Weekly Vegetable Subscription
Hello Folks! Happy Independence Day! Well, happy 5th of July – but it’s gonna be a good one.

I know it was way past our bed time when we madeContinue reading “2017 Week 5 – Weekly Vegetable Subscription”
2017 Week 4 – Weekly Vegetable Subscription
Hello Folks! As usual, the farm is hopping with activity. This is one of the few years that we have been able to say that we are keeping up with irrigation on the farm. Ryan is out at all hours (even in the dark) turning on water, moving hoses, and turning off water, but itContinue reading “2017 Week 4 – Weekly Vegetable Subscription”
