Yup… late at opening again! I just wanted to keep everyone guessing at what amazing goodies we’d have this week.

The only addition to the market this week is Cilantro. Besides that the edamame and green beans continue to produce, and it looks like the sweet corn is almost ready!

Thanks for sticking with us, even with our delayed opening!

Better Late than Never

The weeks are flying by so fast I am losing track of the days. So I apologize for the delay in opening up the ordering.

We continue to have an amazing edamame harvest this year. Think about getting a couple extra pounds and preserving them for a delicious winter meal. They are very easy to blanch and freeze and will cook up great on a cold winter night.

Green beans, tomatoes, and peppers are continuing to produce and a small number of the leafy greens are back on the market. (Remember if something is listed as sold out you can leave us a comment when ordering and we might be able to fulfill it still. We always try to have a bit of padding on our amounts listed!)

We will also be listing some nice sized, freshly harvested onions – Yellow or Red.

Thanks for all your continued support of us and our small, local, organic produce operation!

Edamame, Green Beans, and Cabbage

The garden has been keeping us busy this week as the edamame and green beans are ready for harvest! We should have a lot of both for a while…so think about preserving some for winter! You have options for your green beans of either those from our Zorro (black beans) or a purple/green mix (of the Royal Burgandy and Provider varieties).

We will also be harvesting our green cabbages this week. There aren’t a lot of them so I would suggest pre-ordering if you would like one.

And the tomatoes, peppers, okra, eggplant, keep increasing their production!

We are going to be giving our greens a break this week. There is the possibility we will be able to cut a few on Friday so you might find some in the store or at the market Saturday but I don’t think we will be cutting much. They have been a bit slow to recover this week.

The market is open for the week! We’ve been busy this week having our organic inspection, combining our Rye and baling straw, planting some buckwheat cover crop, and continuing with our jam and soap making. We can’t believe that July is almost over. We also said goodbye to the last of our goat kids yesterday… bittersweet.

The tomatoes and peppers are finally picking up production, as well as the okra. We might also have the first edamame Of the year in the store this week.

Place your orders for faster pick up or just swing in to see us Friday 4:30-6:30 at the farm of Saturday at the Sidney Farmers market!

We hope everyone is staying cool out there.

The Market is now open for ordering. We’ve finally uploaded some of our other produce so you can order our beets, eggplant, patty pan summer squash, eggs, etc. I might be adding some quantities throughout the week when I have a better idea what we’ll have! And the tomatoes are coming soon!!!

Open!

The market is now open for orders, and will remain so now through Thursday night!

This might very well be the last week for garlic scapes so get them while you can. And keep an eye out at the store or market during pick up as we might have some more beets and Spanish Black Radishes available!

Remember pick up can be at the farm store Friday evening 4:30-6:30 , at the farm Saturday morning 10-12pm or at the Market on Saturday. And for those that would rather shop in person than order online the store will only be fully set up Friday’s 4:30-6:30.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Good Bye Goat Kids, Hello Hot and Humid Weather

We’ve sent 8 of our goat kids off to their new homes this week. The farm definitely seems a bit quieter without them around but it has given us a little more time to focus on other tasks.

This week we’ve finished planting the fields, the first cutting of beautiful green hay is in the barn, the tomatoes are almost all strung, and new batches of soap are curing.

New items listed on the market include: the first of the garlic scapes (with plenty more to come), a few heads of broccoli, and the first cutting of our basil patch.

And for those adventurous souls, I am also adding a couple “I’m Feeling Lucky” Options. If you pick one of these it will work similarly to our old CSA pick ups where we will put together a box for you, based on what we have available. We will do our best to make it diverse and delicious.

As we’ve done in the past, please leave us a comment if something is “sold out” that you really wanted. We will do our best to fill your order if we can.

Thanks. See you all soon!

Out Planting Has Begun

This is just a quick reminder that the market is now open for orders! Please order by Thursday night if you would like to pick up at Vin&Joy on Saturday, or by Sunday night if you are picking up at the farm on Tuesday.

I also wanted to let everyone know that Vin&Joy also has curbside pick up available at the same time so check out their shop and place your orders. It’s a great way to get Mother’s Day gifts, birthday presents, new clothes for yourself! Support small stores and local businesses in these trying times instead of always turning to Amazon!

Farm News

Work on the farm is ramping up. Not only are the fields getting plowed in anticipation of planting corn soon, but we’ve also started out-planting some of our starts. The Dino and Purpurkal Kale and Swiss Chard are in the ground with tatsoi, chinese cabbage, broccoli, and cilantro going out tomorrow! It won’t be long now til we are all eating fresh greens again. And the garlic is looking amazing. It’s time to clear out any remaining jars of garlic scape pesto out of the freezer in anticipation of new scapes only a month away!

Events

Unfortunately, it’s pretty obvious we will not be having a soap making class this spring like originally planned. Hopefully by the fall…or next spring we will be able to do that.

We also are sad that we are not able to welcome everyone to the farm to see all the goat kids and experience their crazy antics – so make sure you are following daily videos and pictures of them on either our Grumpy Goat Experiment instagram or facebook page. We will only have them around for entertainment for another month :(

And this week’s GOAT OF THE WEEK is Pepper! She is the super cute twin of Dotty – both of whom rock the white speckled ears. She’s been a little on the shy side – playing hard to get. This week she is finally coming out of her shell and getting into the neck scratches.

We're back and open for ordering!
