Updates: Now, we turn our attention to the final two weeks of harvest (only TWO farmers markets left!) and clearing the fields. WeContinue reading “Farm update + membership announcement”

Did you see photos of all the hail in Central Florida last week? We were on an outer band, and did receive hail for about one minute. Plus the wind and rain, the crops have been put through the stress test over the last week. See below pictures of the fallout! (Lettuce shredded, sunflowers fallen,Continue reading “Hail, Wind, Rain, Watermelon”

Balmy, springtime weather is here. The warmth of spring brings new crops like cucumbers, squash, basil, and sunflowers. Plus, an abundance of everything else. Following the spring equinox, all of the crops we’ve been growing all winter grow faster and faster and yield a plentiful harvest. Right now we are harvesting lots of: peppers, tomatoes,Continue reading “What’s abundant this spring”

It’s here… false spring. It happens every year at some point in February. It always warms up a bit between each winter cold front in Florida, but after the turn of the new year, there is something different. You can see it. You can feel it. With the lengthening days, the sun glows for a bit longerContinue reading “False Spring”

We’re happy to report again this time that the crops made it through the weatherContinue reading “The sweetest carrots of the year”

We worked all of last week getting theContinue reading “On the other side of the cold”

We hope to see you at the farmers market these last two weeks of the year. Bundle up this week, it’s going to be REALLY cold! We have an abundant harvest,Continue reading “Open for the holidays!”

Heirloom tomatoes are here, in a big way. Usually, the heirloom tomatoes slowly begin to ripen, a few pounds here and there for about a month until the harvest begins to roll in strong. That was not the case this year. Last week, we harvested the first tomato, and then…. we harvested hundreds of pounds.Continue reading “New things ripening”

We hope you are well as we enter December. The weather has been cool and foggy on the farm for multiple weeks now. We are mowing down things like cucumbers and squash as we head into cooler weather.
