REALITY CHECK: As the summer comes to a close and kids start heading back to school, we count our blessings as farmers. Every year you never know what we’re getting into with the weather. Will the preseason weather be incredibly harsh? (For many farmers, including orchard farmers, it was.) Will we have a drought in the summer? Too much rain? Wildlife issues? This summer started well, but the past few weeks, the rain hasn’t stopped. And some people would be surprised to know that too much rain isn’t a good thing. Tomatoes and other produce crack; plants shut down and go into survival mode.
But we do the best we can and fight through it all. We’re back this week at the Collingswood Farmers Market today from 8-12. Same great produce, just in more limited quantities while we wait for our next plantings to come up. Come out and support your favorite local farmers! Try some new produce and ask questions about whatever you see!
