Sometimes life knocks you down (or in our fields’ case, hail), but at least there’s still hope and renewal. We’ll continue to harvest, but we need to wait a few days though. #UnexpectedHailInJune #FuriousStorms #LydiasFields #LoudounGrown @ Lydia's Fields at Wheatland LLC

Sorry about the delay with our veggies this year! The cooler temps and large rain showers have slowed us down just a little bit. The sun and higher temps have helped our plants grow more this week. We will start selling our food at Loudoun Station Farmers Market in Ashburn in early June and our weekly CSA shares will start at that time too!! We can’t wait to share our delicious veggies with you all. #LydiasFields #LoudounGrown #LoudounStationFarmersMarket #LoudounValleyHomegrownMarkets #AshburnVa #LoudounStation #PureVirginia

We transplanted our tomatoes this morning! Harvests should start in early July and will run until October. #FarmFreshTomatoes #LydiasFields #LoudounGrown #HeirloomTomatoes #LoudounValleyHomegrownMarketsCooperative

There’s a frost expected tonight! Today’s drizzly day project is putting row cover on basically all of our beds. Our veggie harvest may be a bit delayed this year, but the plants will be protected with our effort today. #LateFreeze #LydiasFields #Remay #LoudounGrown @ Lydia's Fields at Wheatland LLC

Lydia's Fields

It is inspiring to hear from our farmer friends, colleagues, and supporters about the various options when it comes to selling our food in the current circumstances of COVID 19. Our "babies" (plant starts) are growing strong in the greenhouse, we are harvesting generous amounts of micro greens weekly, and the asparagus harvests are increasing by the day. With our beginning harvests so far this spring, we are helping supply the farm stand at Georges Mill Farm Artisan Cheese in Lovettsville Va (today Molly will be putting our asparagus, lettuce mix, and micro greens out). As our harvests increase, we will be both supplying our CSA (there are available half and full shares!!!) and also selling through the farmers market. Check out our "store" at: https://www.localline.ca/lydias-fields !

Thank you for your continuing support of our farm. As always we are looking forward to supplying you and your family with delicious, locally grown food.
