Green tomatoes on the vine, full of promise- this is the part of the season where patience does most of the work.

The rain has been welcomed, even if the cool temps are slowing things down a bit. In between showers we were able to get our second succession of sweet corn in the ground, and now it’s a bit of a waiting game again.

Plenty is moving though; Swiss chard, mint, oregano, holy basil, lettuce mix, turnips and more are all headed to the farmstand this week. Strawberries and raspberries are arriving from Michigan grown by Mick Klug Farm and will be stocked as soon as the shipment lands Thursday.

And a big shift on the farm: the pullets are moving out to pasture Thursday morning.

It’s that in-between stretch of the season when we are on maintenance mode, steady work, and watching all the effort start to set fruit. The best part is knowing it’s all on its way. Open Thursday 12-6, Friday 9-6, Saturday and Sunday 9-4.

This week’s onion harvest is in! These onions were planted last fall, overwintered in the field, and are now headed into the greenhouse where they’ll dry for the next two weeks. Until then, we’ll have fresh onions available in the farmstand.

We’ve also been busy harvesting chard, mint, cilantro, lettuce mix, and more for market this week. The recent rain has been a welcome boost, and the crops are responding. Our tomatoes are loaded with green fruit and beginning to size up, while the cucumbers are setting fruit and growing quickly.

Our pullets have just started laying, and their first eggs will be available this week.

This is the final week of our plant sale. All remaining plants are buy one, get one free.

Thursday: 12–6

Sunrise starts, dirty boots, and another day in the books. Yesterday we moved the chickens onto fresh pasture, harvested lettuce, spinach, turnips, asparagus, microgreens, and scallions, planted popcorn, basil, broccolini, parsley, chamomile, calendula, fennel, zinnia, and thyme, and cultivated every bed on the farm.

This time of year feels like controlled chaos — every field changing by the day, every hour packed tight, and somehow there’s still more to do tomorrow. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

The farmstand is filling up fast with fresh harvests every week.

Backing the tractor out of the shed always feels like the real beginning. Fresh ground ahead, longer days, and that quiet sense that everything is about to take off. We’re potting up plant sale starts, onions and cabbage are hardening off outside, and the greenhouse is filling up fast. Lettuce, tatsoi, spinach, mizuna, turnips, and radishes are all coming in fresh at the farmstand. It’s an exciting time of the year!

Spring is showing up in all the right ways. The first real harvests are coming in strong: turnips, radishes, spinach, and our lettuce mix are looking as good as we could hope for this early in the season.

This is about as local as it gets. Grown right here in Old Mill Creek, picked fresh, and straight onto the shelves.
