Tonight’s waning harvest moon coincided with catching chickens. After filling the crates for our morning appointment, we took a few long exposure pictures with Liz’s phone. We’ve caught a lot of chickens over the years, but never finished with a moon rising over our shoulders. Living on the land requires hard, thoughtful work. There are times that the work is never seen by another soul, and sometimes the weather undoes it all. Other times, like this, it is beautiful. These birds will be harvested tomorrow. We have raised them as best as we possibly could since they were hatched, and we have raised them for one purpose and are not ashamed of it. Anyone who eats depends on this constant remaking of Creation: birth, death, decay and rebirth. Folks on the land understand this intimately, but it is good to make it clear from time to time.

The sun is out again after some much-needed rain! It’s amazing how much difference a little moisture makes in the productivity of certain crops, like this late zucchini. The plants were loaded this week with some very nice Costata Romanesco. We didn’t get any pictures, so you’ll need to stop by Hyde Park Farmers' Market to checkout this beautiful Italian heirloom zucchini. It is special! Also, the heirloom tomatoes are still going strong. Take advantage of all the summer foods that are still in their peak!

The kids may be back in school but summer is still going strong Hyde Park Farmers' Market ! Stop by and stock up on all your favorites for Labor Day. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini are just a few of the veggies that are in season right now. It’s really a remarkable thing to be able to grow and sell what we raise directly to you all. We are beyond grateful for a market that has a very strong stance on being producer only, meaning there are no middlemen or resellers at Hyde Park. You can confidently shop and know that the food you are buying is coming from the farmer who grew it.

Good morning, friends! We are looking toward to seeing you today with some special new arrivals. Checkout this very cool purple sweet corn. 👀 💜 🌽 It’s a super sweet variety called Ultra Violet. Abe stepped up and harvested all the corn yesterday because market prep day coincided with cattle loading day, and it was all hands on deck. 😅Thank you, Abe. 🙏🏻He sampled a bit in the field and attests that it is quite tasty! 😋 This variety also holds its color even after cooking.
The tomatoes are really nice this week, especially the zebra varieties ! We’ll have green, red, and purple stripe slicers, plus loads of other heirlooms and red slicers.

It’s going to be another gorgeous June day for ! Producing food for a CSA and farmers’ market comes with its own unique stressors, and this season is no different. One particular worry that is always at the back of our minds is the specter of crop failure. Sometimes this worry is unfounded, as evidenced by the overflowing market trailer today. 🫠🫠🫠The resident groundhog did eat both our first and second planting of cucumbers, but the broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are making up for it!! To keep our sanity, we have to look at the big picture, which today is a plentiful harvest that we are looking forward to sharing with you. Swipe to see our list of veggies for today. ➡️
