Heirloom Vegetables
20Eight
The last of the year’s sweet potatoes were distributed on Saturday. We’ve found them to store very well and have enjoyed the flavor and texture that they add to our meals here lately. Turnips (SO, SO TASTY), Assorted Greens (choice of Arugula, Spinach, Lettuce Mix, Asian Mix, or Kale) and Radishes were also delivered this … Continue reading
Week 21: We’re Back!
Week 21/Week 1 (Fall Shares) After much deliberation, The farmer and I decided to take the plunge and start deliveries for the CSA again, despite our doubts that the garden would be ready to supply a harvest for our members. Saturday was also the ‘First Day of Autumn,’ so it seemed appropriate to continue on. … Continue reading
17 weeks, Oh My
Friends, We are amazed at the bounty here on the farm and I’m not talking about the weeds, even though they are over our heads in a few areas. I’m talking about cucumbers and tomatoes and peppers, oh my! I’ve been too busy hoeing the sweet potatoes to even process the last week’s adventures, but I’ll … Continue reading
16 Weeks of Fun
We’re into our 16th week here on the farm. Another bounty of Heirloom Tomatoes are ready for consumption. The cucumbers are thriving and peppers are making their way into our member’s homes this week. We have a teeny tiny bit of eggplant and squash, but more is on the way and the okra and green beans … Continue reading
The Halfway Mark: Week #15
The first half of the Urbanna’s Farm’s first ever CSA season has come and gone. Of course, we might have a longer season than 30 weeks, but at least we know it’s been succesful thus far. What was lacking in variety this week, was made up for in quantity. We have been harvesting Heirloom Tomatoes … Continue reading
WEEK 14
Can you believe it?!? 14 weeks into our first season here at Urbanna Farm. We are amazed. The farmer was a little anxious at the beginning of the week, because the vegetables didn’t seem to be producing quite as rapidly as we hoped, but he quickly realized that the cucumbers did indeed explode and the … Continue reading
Farm Report
Welcome to a photo farm log. I’m your host, the farmer. Things have been kinda all over the place around here and I’m not sure where to start, so I’ll just walk y’all through some pictures and insert commentary where ever I so desire. I broke my first broadfork handle the other day. Then I … Continue reading
Thirteen Weeks and Counting
We’ve been busy. It’s been raining. Food’s been growing. It’s been good. Last week, we brought three varieties of cucumbers to Hull Park. I thought we’d have zucchini out of our ears by now, but I think cucumbers are the mainstay at the moment. We decided to offer green tomatoes for any of our members … Continue reading
week twelve
The farmer headed to the park early this morning, while Elijah and I stayed home to prepare for my sister’s arrival this afternoon. We’re excited to have her visit this weekend. It’s been very wet here on the farm this week and if vegetables are an indicator of the changing season, then the season is … Continue reading
Week #11
It’s been quite a week here on the farm. Elijah and I took a mini vacation for a couple days on Tybee Island and enjoyed the brief getaway, while the goats and chickens kept The Farmer company. Elijah had never been to the beach and it was about time. You’d have thought he was born … Continue reading
