Weekend update. First, on behalf of our new born Haisley, we at Twin Maple Farms want to thank everyone for their congratulatory remarks. We are basically still in “summer mode”. Picking sweet corn every morning, then picking, washing, and packing other vegetables as needed for the farm stand and other wholesale orders, then delivering when needed. By the way, we are getting many questions on how long we will have sweet corn. We should have corn through September. If you need snacks for school lunches, Steven started picking snack peppers. Another thing that might interest you, we started topping Brussel sprouts. We do this because when topped, instead of the plants getting taller, the top sprouts will get bigger. This means we should have Brussel sprouts available soon. We also dug more potatoes this week here at Twin Maple Farms. I understand some of you like my videos, so I included a short video of my view while harvesting potatoes. Until next week, stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. Look out! There’s another Hunsicker here. We welcomed Haisley into the world this Wednesday August 19. Both Mom and Haisley are doing very well. That was the biggest news this week. We did have two rain showers this week for a total of 1.7 inches. There is plenty of moisture in the ground and the crops are looking very good. As usual we at Twin Maple Farms have been busy picking, packing, and keeping the farm stand stocked. One new thing I can report is that we started packing red and white potatoes in 50 lb. bags. They should be available in the farm stand this week. I think our cabbage patch looks particularly good this year, so I hope you enjoy the video driving our old Oliver tractor through the cabbage patch. I know most schools are starting this week. Summer isn’t over at Twin Maple Farms, we still have plenty of vegetables. Until next week, stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. With all the moisture in the ground and warm sunny days, all the vegetables here at Twin Maple Farms are growing as fast as the lawn. The beginning of the week was very busy trying to keep everything picked on schedule including around 20 bushels of string beans (with the bean harvester). Then even with Wednesday night’s shower, we got the potato harvester out Thursday afternoon and dug almost two loads of potatoes. Friday was just as busy. Because of some wholesale orders, we picked over 350 dozen sweet corn first thing in the morning. Then in the afternoon Travis picked over 40 baskets of tomatoes. This week we did very well with the vegetables we entered at the Blue Valley Farm Show Steve got “Best in Show” for cabbage and “Best in Section” for Poblano peppers. We also want to thank the Blue Valley Farm Show for using Twin Maple Farms sweet corn and potatoes for two of their meals this week. We also want to thank both Town & Country Restaurant and Beck's Land and Sea House for not only using our produce, but advertising that they do. Until next week, stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. After last week’s prediction of thunder showers every day, Friday we at Twin Maple Farms finally got one. We received 4 tenths of an inch with not much storm. It must have been enough because I’m still getting mud on my boots when we pick corn each morning. New at the farm stand this week is Savoy cabbage. I haven’t eaten any yet, but it is supposed to be more tender and sweeter than green cabbage. I would appreciate any of your comments. Along with all the other picking this week our last two pickings of cantaloupe produced plenty of melons. I often get questions on how to freeze corn. Basically blanch (boil) it for 2 – 7 minutes. Immediately cool it in an ice bath then cut off the kernels and put it in an airtight plastic bag. Talking to customers there are many variations of this method, so I will explain the Twin Maple Farms method. First, we don’t try to freeze it on the cob because one, we don’t have room in our freezer, and two, I’m from the school that thinks you should only eat corn-on-the-cob in the summer when it’s fresh. We also freeze between 300 and 500 ears, so all our extended family has enough corn until next summer. We also do this after Labor Day only because this is when we have time. FYI, the pictures are from last year. First, we husk the corn then place between 20 and 30 ears in a cloth bags (made by my mother or grandmother). These bags are placed our butcher kettle. When the water comes to a boil, we time two minutes, remove the bags and place them in wash tubs filled with cold well water. We then cut the kernels off the cob with sharp knives, put the kernels in zip lock bags, then in the freezer. Until next week, stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. Here at Twin Maple Farms, this week’s 1 ½ inch of rain made for some muddy corn picking, but I’m not complaining. We don’t have to irrigate, and everything is growing. We had a busy week picking vegetables and keeping the farm stand stocked. This week’s forecast is for thunder showers each day, so we tried to get as much outside work done yesterday and today as possible. In between our regular work, yesterday I planted some string beans and red beets and today the boys side-dressed sweet corn and picked string beans. Some of the other vegetables we picked this week other than the daily sweet corn included potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red beets, peppers, zucchini (every 2 days), cucumbers (every 3 days), tomatoes (every 2 days), and more. Two new vegetables (for this year) were cantaloupe and yellow seeded watermelon. The only problem is they are selling as fast as we pick them. I was informed we have a good supply of pickling cucumbers, so if anyone wants to do some canning, contact us. Until next week, we at Twin Maple Farms want you to stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. I guess I’ll start this update with the weather since our work evolves around it. Tuesday, here at Twin Maple Farms, we had a terrific thunderstorm that dumped a little over an inch of rain, mostly in one half hour, while four miles away had less than two tenths of an inch. We were very happy for the rain, but we didn’t need the wind that blew some corn down. Luckly, it mostly only blew down the corn we were currently picking because those stalks had the heaviest ears. Believe it or not, it’s already getting dry again. But, with the prediction of thunder storms this coming week, we didn’t start irrigating yet. A major job we got done this week was harvesting and drying-storing our onions. As soon as we see the onion tops start “breaking”, we like to pull them all and spread them in the hot dry attic of our one building. We will try turning these until they are dry. We don’t cut the tops now because we have more rot if we don’t wait until they are dry. We are not sure if this is the text book way to handle onions, but it works for us. We started making some wholesale deliveries and Friday we picked some more potatoes. Until next week, we at Twin Maple Farms want you to stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. This week’s update is a lesson from “Corn 101” chapter 5 (pollination). Corn is somewhat unique in the plant world when it comes to pollination. Most plants have both their male and female parts together in its flower. Corn’s male part is the tassel and female part is the kernel located inside the husk, on the cob. Each kernel has a silk connected that extends out the top of the ear. Every single kernel on an ear of corn requires its own specific silk to be pollinated for a kernel to form. This is why (Eric) in my opinion, even with genetic modification, we will never have silk less corn. Corn tassels release millions of pollen grains the size of dust in the morning after the due burns off until it gets too warm (around 86 degrees). Temperatures over 100 degrees (like we had the other week) can kill pollen before it reaches the silk. This can cause missing kernels and insufficient tip fill. We at Twin Maple Farms have been experiencing some of these issues, but with the cooler temperatures (under 100 degrees) we are seeing less of these issues. Our big accomplishment this week was harvesting our 33-acre wheat crop and baling about 4 acres worth of straw. We like to leave most of the straw on the field to build the soil’s organic matter for future crops. Some late breaking news. We will be picking white corn tomorrow and expect to have yellow later this week. I hope you enjoy the combine ride along video. Until next week, stay safe, healthy, and happy.

Weekend update. First, we at Twin Maple Farms want to thank all the customers for all your business yesterday and today. By the amount of corn we picked, you must have seen yesterday’s sweet corn post. Sweet corn wasn’t the only first this weekend. Friday, we picked potatoes and are available at the farm stand. They aren’t as big as I was hoping but they are some of the nicest potatoes we dug in some time. Other new vegetables at the farm stand this week include candy onions and sweet frying peppers. Another new vegetable for us this year is white eggplant. They must be a shorter season than the purple variety because the purple eggplant aren’t quite ready to pick. It’s getting dry again and we are preparing for a hot week. After last weekend’s rain we laid plastic mulch for our storage cabbage. This will hold the moisture till we are ready to transplant. Now for a reader’s question. What job will Twin Maple Farms start tomorrow that we haven’t done yet this year? The answer will be in next week’s update. Until next week stay safe, healthy, and happy.
