Twitter Updates

On the left side of our webpage, just below the picture slideshow, is an area for our Twitter updates. We've just activated the farm phone so that we can tweet from the phone. That means that we'll be able to give more timely updates about what we're doing each day and where we'll be. This is of particular interest for our working and helping share members. Just check out the website before you head to the farm to see which location we're at, as we'll keep it updated with our daily activities.

First Market of the Season

Wow, what a fabulous day at Brighton Farmers Market! The highlight was meeting several new farmers in the area, such as Rebecca from Small Planet Farm. Had some great conversations, and it was wonderful to be able to share experiences and knowledge from our journey so far.

Last year we were only selling transplants at market, but this year we were one of the few vendors to be offering produce. From our hoop house we brought to market kale (three different kinds), kale rabe, chard, and lettuce salad mix. Outside, some of our herbs have been doing well, so we had a nice selection of thyme, oregano, mint, chives, and tarragon to offer. We were sold out of everything by the end of the day! It was so great to see many of our regulars, and meet plenty of new folks as well! What a great way to start out the season.
