Another Hot Week

It's been another hot week, but we were lucky enough to get some much-needed rain at Stone Coop Farm on Monday. The tomatoes, peppers and eggplant at Tuthill Farms—the location of our 2nd acre of growing space—are getting much bigger. The winter squash there is also getting large and spreading its vines out in every direction

We have a ground hog enjoying the kale and hearts of the lettuce heads at Stone Coop, so we're hoping to catch him in the next couple days in a live trap and relocate him to another home.

We've been doing a lot of work in the u-pick space laying out new beds and paths. There's also a good deal ready to harvest out there: chard, kale, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, basil, tarragon and mint. Members of the farm are free to come out and enjoy the harvest from u-pick any time so long as you've been through an orientation of the space with one of the farmers. If you need an orientation, come by on Wednesday when we're having market and one of us will be glad to show you around.

Come by and see us at market tonight or Saturday morning. We have lots of yummy things available!
