Well, Thursday's storm cut down on the dust but .4 inches only goes so far! Farmers Ben and Pete spent the entire week moving aluminum irrigation pipe from one field to the next. We have to water just to get seed to germinate. Drip irrigated crops are doing well, but overhead irrigation is time consuming and with virtually no water in the soil profile has to be done often. Last night we did finally get some water on the potatoes. Both sweet corn and potatoes are amazing in their ability to survive with very little water. However, surviving and producing are very different things.
This week's share brings peaches from our friends Chuck and Diane Souther at Apple Hill Farm in Concord, NH! For those interested in tomatillos, they are beginning to trickle in and may find their way onto the share by next week. We should be back into beans and greens later in the month and then right until the end of the season. We have lots of delicious cherry tomatoes at the stand. You can take a pint in place of two tomatoes if you prefer. We also have heirloom tomatoes available. Don't forget to check out our expanded selection of baked goods.
