      • Field Days
        06/22/06
        I was fortunate to not have to work off the farm for the last couple of days. It allowed me to catch up on some much needed field work. Despite suffering from severe grass polen allergies, I just had to mow. It looks so much better. I have to admit I was getting a bit discouraged with the way thi

      • Peas Please
        06/20/06
        In all of my years of farming, I have never seen a crop of peas like we have this year. Simply outrageous! They are so prolific and coming on so fast it's unclear how we will be able to keep up with picking them. Not a bad problem I suppose. I think this year the weather has just been perf

      • What's Growing
        06/17/06
        Yesterday's harvest turned out to be more substantial than I expected. This often happens. You begin thinking early in the week about what will be available for market harvest after all of our commercial orders have been filled. Sometimes you look around and wonder where the harvest will com

      • Rain Please
        06/16/06
        Smells like rain. I hope it does. It's been hard to get irrigation on with all of the other activities going on around here. We could use a break today for sure.

        It's market harvest day. We'll be bringing in a ton of beets and carrots. We will also have salad greens, s

      • Getting There
        06/15/06
        We had another good day Wednesday. I finished my off farm work early and rallied for a late afternoon session of irrigation installation and weeding. Getting water going on our newly sown crops is critical right now so we'll have good germination. Missing just one small step in the process

        G'day mates. Life continues as usual. Another off the farm work day for me here.

        I found out last night that our new intern Abby has decided life at MRF is not quite what she expected and will be moving on. Sorry to lose her but that's the way it goes sometimes. I apprecia

      • Full Moon Setting
        06/12/06
        It's 3:00 AM I am wide awake and stoked for another day. It is just beautiful out right now. The full moon slowly traveres the southern sky on its path to setting in the west. It is so bright out it's almost like day. All is calm and well. I truly love my quiet mornings.

      • Farm Fresh
        06/09/06
        Today is going to be one of those funny, serendepitous days. All week I've been silently contemplating what we will have for market harvest thinking in the back of my mind that we may see a slight dirth. Many things are just coming to an end such as radishes, turnips and the first sowing of

        Howdy all. Yes the madness continues! Overall, things are going well. We have a new helper on the farm and we had her hit the ground running. Her name is Abby. She's here for the summer and you will meet her at the farmers market. Aside from her duties here on the farm she will be working

      • Tomatoville
        06/06/06
        We just put in about 100 tomato plant starts yesterday. These all went outside and are mostly heirloom varieties. The weather has not been the best for outdoor tomatoes with all of this rain and cool nights. Hopefully by waiting a little longer to put them in they will take off. In the past we h

      • Planting Out
        06/03/06
        It's been awhile since I've had time to blog. Sorry for the long delay. We simply could not be any busier. Harvest days are now taking up a good portion of our week. We harvest three days a week and it takes most of the day to get everything in, washed, bunched, sorted packed and deliv
