This will be the first week that our fruit will not be local. The frost that hit in April has taken a toll on many stone fruit crops and therefor this week's fruit will be from other sources.
Although it is not from our local farms the fruit is certified organic. We hope to source out our neighboring farmers in the following weeks to come.
Pictured is one of our hoophouse that we planted tomatoes in
around mid March. The plants are now 6+ feet tall and are producing
really great tomatoes.
Here you can see that the tomatoes are irrigated with drip tape
and have been trellised by a piece of twine that is tied to the top horizontal steel bar.
Here are the same tomato plants back in April. Chris is going
down the beds clipping each plant to the twine to begin the trellising.
The farm in your kitchen......
Our farm market stand will be open this Thrusday from 4 until 7pm.
We'll have limited produce for sale in the next coming weeks as we wait for the crops to
catch up from all this heat and no rain. We will have plenty of fresh eggs as well as flower bouquets for sale.
Unfortunately we will have to close our farm market stand this Saturday, July 21.
We appreciate your support of your local farm and will re open as soon as we can!
We look forward to supplying you with the freshest and best quality produce very soon.
Eat well!
Your farmers,
Tania and Chris Cubberly along with our amazing crew, Duncan, Michelle, Dallas, Colin, Joe,
Tomas, Keegan and welcoming to our crew, Danny!
