Last week we planted our squash, zucchini, and cucumbers knowing rain and sun were in the forecast ahead. And boy are we glad we did. They got a nice drink (a few actually) and they are thriving in these warm days now. The field is starting to fill up ❤️

We knew these high temps were coming, so last week we put our first field tomatoes in the ground. Then the little rain shower yesterday was the perfect drink. We’ll be picking these in no time 🍅

Wednesday was all about Farm to School! We attended the farm to school conference in Bristol, where we got to connect with lots of new potential districts and buyers. Then we headed to Goodwin Elementary for the garden bucket sale which raised more money than ever for the school gardens. Finally we had dinner at Captain Nathan Hale Middle school with other farmers who provide fresh produce and maple syrup to Coventry for their meals and activities. We love being a part of this great community of farmers and educators!
