Well, it’s still cold, but we are well on our way to a spring.  Which means we’ve got all sorts of yummy vegetables growing for you!  There’s spinach in the high tunnels, although the arugula didn’t fair well through the cold. The tomatoes and cucumbers are coming along nicely… looks like we have been ableContinue reading “Weekly Vegetable Subscription”

It’s no surprise to anyone in Nebraska, but it’s getting to be quite a snowy winter. With the wet fall and the snowy, cold spring we are getting anxious to get out into the field. Looking at the forecast, it may be a long wait! Since we began farming in 2004, this is probably theContinue reading “February 2019…Oh snow!”

Things have finally slowed down.  Mother Nature has continued to have her way this fall.  Since our last delivery to you folks, we have had a large rain, an inch of ice, and about 4 inches of snow.  Now with the warm weather, we have (as we have been discussing all through late summer andContinue reading “Week 4 – Fall 2018 CSA”

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  We managed to “celebrate” for three days starting on Thursday at our house.  Friday was football which is always part of the holiday.  Saturday was another large meal. This week’s box is kind of big.  We’ve got some good things in there.  Make a salad with broccoli, redContinue reading “Week 3 – Fall 2018 CSA”

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.  This week we’ve been able to go back in and plant them with orange, white, and purple carrots, broccoli and cucumbers.     Sometimes it sounds likeContinue reading “Week 13 – 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.  Vegetables perked up, people perked up, and everything got a little messier.  The biggest downside?  Weeds perked up too. WeContinue reading “Week 12 – Pekarek’s Produce Weekly Vegetable Subscription”
