Wow! This has been crazy July weather. We’ve all been enjoying the seasonally cool weather this summer and have even had some July mornings picking vegetables in sweatshirts. 55 degrees overnight (note the sweatshirts and long sleeves in JULY!) doesn’t usually hit at the same time as cucumber and zucchini season. The only downside is thatContinue reading “Week 8 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA (7/23/14)”

Dobry Den! It seems like we’ve been in full swing on the farm for a long time now. Alex, Ryan and myself went to Omaha to tear down three greenhouses that Ryan found for us to purchase.
