In the heat of June

News from the Farm:

Our fields have dried out and it feels like ages ago that we were bundled up in sweaters and rain gear even though it really was only last week. What a difference a bit of sun can make. Our veggies are growing well through the heat and so are the weeds of course. We're racing to get our late summer fields prepped and ready for planting before the next rains and our full harvest schedule is just getting into full swing. It's starting to feel like summer.

We hope you enjoyed last weeks share! We're looking forward to more and more bounty in the coming weeks!
