The cooler weather has moved in and it is time to bring out the warm blankets. I already see the leaves changing color and it makes me think of hot meals and gathering with family and friends. I think of hot chocolate and for those die-hard-fans pumpkin spice! My son is growing mini pumpkins and my heart melted when he gifted one to my granddaughter and her face lit up like the sun. As the day wanes and the cool follows, the farm is still harvesting butternut squash, Swiss chard and spinach. We have harvested the onions and garlic and they will be available throughout the cooler months until we sell out. We also have a fresh amount of honey, much darker because of the kinds of flowers available to the bees during the fall. My daughter is busy making her winter holiday gift baskets if you are thinking about presents and my granddaughter has gotten into the trade and makes beautiful goat's milk and glycerin soaps often scented with lavender essential oils because that is her favorite scent! We have available:
Kiwi $5.00 pint
Paw Paws $1 each $2
Large Garlic 2/ $5
Small Garlic 2/ $5
Sweet red peppers $3 bunch
Butternut squash
Yellow squash $1 each
Swiss Chard $4 a bunch

The rain has felt like a double-edged sword lately. While we welcome the rain, it was the cause of the cancellation of the harvest festival last week. And here we are again, the weather was beautiful the entire week but Sunday shows 1/4 inch of rain. We are sad to say we have to cancel this year's farm festival. While we would love to punt it to the following week, the farm is reliant on the crops which are coming to an end. We have to turn our focus on prepping our gardens to start planting the garlic. Speaking of garlic, we have a LOT of garlic and onions to sell as well as cherry tomatoes and jam. Please contact me if you would like to support our farm!

Cherry tomatoes $5 a Pint

I remember a farm festival a few years ago in which a storm descended upon us in a matter of minutes. We had seen the news and thought it would pass us from the North, we were wrong. The wind came and almost knocked canopies over. If it wasn’t for the people holding them down, they would have blown away. Within minutes, we were standing in 1 inch of rain and trying to protect the older people stuck with us. Since we do not want that to happen again, we rescheduled our festival for the following week, September 20. The weather looks much more beautiful, and we hope you all can make it!

The biggest challenge to farming is putting all your heart and soul into the crops and then unexpectedly the crops develop not to their potential. The first cucumbers I had planted have produced nicely but with all the rain, they are feeling stressed. We can tell by the bottle neck cucumber, (not enough potassium in the soil,) and the burnout at the end of the cucumber in front of the bottle neck, (not enough nitrogen). We add nitrogen to the soil with grass clippings and potassium from potash from our wood burning stove. Nature gives us everything we need to give back. The balance can be restored. Don’t forget about our farm festival where you can learn all about these tricks of the trade!

Cherry tomatoes $5 a Pint

The last few summers have been a challenge because of the lack of rain but this summer has been wonderful! The wells are full of water and the crops have gotten a few good soaks throughout June and July. I have been enjoying tomato sandwiches everyday for a week so far and I haven't tired of how juicy our tomatoes are! Tomatoes love this hot weather and are producing nicely. The blackberries are plentiful and happy. However, it is always a balance between the crops that like hot weather and those that don't. The kale does not like this heat but we have planted collard greens that can handle it until it gets cooler. Both kale and collard greens (as well as lettuce) perfer the cooler weather which we will see come September. Speaking of September, make sure you keep an eye out for our farm festival event. It always happens in September and if we are blessed with beautiful weather, it is always well attended! Until then, if you would like to take in our beautiful farm, Katie offers Saturday morning yoga on the farm (see the attachment for further details)

How old is this squash? Well, it was picked in the fall. Last one of the season. I’m cooking it up tonight! When stored properly our squash lasts! 😍

While July is known for celebrating independence, I want to acknowledge interdependence. The definition is "the dependence of two or more people or things relying on each other" and while some people many cringe at the thought of having to rely on someone else (weren't we all taught to be independent and self-sufficient after all?), in reality we all depend on others for even our most basic everyday needs. Those yummy blueberries you are eating need another variety of blueberry to cross pollinate before they can produce berries. To extend your blueberry patch you would dig up a shoot from another bush and transplant it. The farmer has a close personal relationship with the plants he is growing. The tools we use in the fields to the gas we put in our farm equipment, we depend on other people to refine and make the product so our farm can run smoothly. We rely on each other. I hope this letter encourages you to look around at someone delivering your oil, propane, or food, and feel the connection you have with them and say. "Thank you."

Blueberries 1 pint $6

The days are longer, the flowers are growing and you are receiving your first letter from Sweet Birch Farm— all signs of spring! Even though the weather has been on the cool side, I can see the hope of warm weather throughout the farm. We have the lettuce and kale planted and growing nicely. The dandelions, hyacinths, and daffodils are growing. These early flowers provide food for the bees. One of the hives was so overpopulated that it had to be separated since they were about ready to swarm.
Next week, Saturday, Katie is going to start her weekly yoga class at the farm from 9:30-10:30. Alina has her soaps and skincare products available to sell. We are also in talks with Katie about offering a soap making class after one of her wonderful yoga classes in June (perhaps the 13th). See below for details!
