Dobry Den! If you’ll recall, we were moving pipe to the pumpkins and fall broccoli last week.  Everything under this irrigation is looking good.  The broccoli is getting bigger and tasting delicious.  We also have a beautiful selection of pumpkins and squash for decoration – and more importantly, EATING!   So let’s talk about thisContinue reading “Week 16 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA”

Dobry Den!   With harvest going in full swing, it seems like the time of year when we should begin picking up pipe and storing it for next year –but that just ain’t the case.

Dobry Den! Does it feel like fall yet?  Although we are still seeing several days with temperatures in the 90s, the evenings are beginning to cool off and the crops are suggesting that it is time for fall.  The sweet corn is finished for the year and I pulled the last of the beets thisContinue reading “Week 15 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA”

Dobry Den! I’m sure you’ve all noticed the change in weather and hopefully appreciated it as much as we have.  This week we have been transplanting another set of14,000+ broccoli plants.  While we began transplanting with the transplanter, we quickly found that because the ground is so dry, we could not sit on the machineContinue reading “Week 12 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA”

Dobry Den! Holy moly – Busy does not describe the sentiment of things happening at Pekarek’s Produce.  As of this week, most of our workers have gone back to school, so most of our labor force is gone.  In addition to that, Jacob’s first day at East Butler is today, so things have felt aContinue reading “Week 11 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA”

Dobry Den! Can you believe it is the half way mark of the CSA?  The craziness of the summer will soon become the business of fall, as we brace for most of our crew to go back to school. This is Laura and this picture summarizes our season thus far.  It has been full ofContinue reading “Week 10 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA”

Dobry Den! Hooray!  Pekarek’s Produce has water again!  As of Thursday afternoon, we have a brand new well that seems to be working perfectly. Thank goodness we have good neighbors that loaned us a 1400 gallon tank to limp along some of our plants. This week we transplanted thousands of broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprout andContinue reading “Week 9 of Pekarek’s Produce CSA”
