And the summer doesnt even feel like it has started yet.

At the farm we are just starting to pick truckloads of tomatoes, this is about 2 weeks later than we normally are picking.  We are just beginning to pick some peppers (finally). Summer squash and zucchini have been producing quite nicely, however with this cold weather snap I am not sure if the plants will slow down their production. The corn is delicious! I am going to enjoy every single day left of this years production while it lasts-the season may be short this year. 

There is really nothing better tasting, or more nutritious, than fresh, local produce. We are currently enjoying fresh picked corn, tomatoes, pickles, cucumbers, peppers, squash, beans, blueberries, blackberries, nectarines, peaches, pears, early apples and new potatoes.

Dont wait until summer is over,  stop by today while produce is at the peak of this season… See you at the farm!
