First Week of Distribution

Whew, it's been a crazy month! We've been planting fiends and are nearly done with our spring planting, just in time to start with summer weeding. It's been a hot, dry spring, and we've been dealing with temperatures akin to those we'd find in July rather than May and June. Our summer crops, especially the tomatoes and peppers in the hoop houses, have been pleased with the hot weather and are growing quickly. Already many of our tomato plants have well developed green tomatoes on them. This week it's back to more planting and running drip irrigation on our thirsty crops. Let's be hoping for some rain!



It's also the first week of Summer Share distribution! Wednesday pick up is 4:00pm - 6:30pm at Hamburg Fitness Center, and Saturday pick up is 8:30am - 10:30am at Stone Coop. Check out our Contact page for maps of the different locations if you're not sure where to go for your pick up day.

As you may have seen, about a month ago the farm was featured in the Livingston Daily for our work with the Livingston County Hunger Council in establishing Project Farm. Check out the article here: Farming with a purpose.
