Yesterday we harvested more than 45 pounds of lush fall greens.

Ahh...Arugula.


Pac Choi with no pest damage! Incredible.




Assorted sweet peppers, peach habaneros, el jefe jalapenos, zuchinni, patty pan squash, eggplant, sungold cherry tomatoes, and regular tomatoes. These remaining summer crop harvests are low yield yet high quality-- not bad for Mid-October.

Our second planting of fall greens were slow to germinate but they are finally coming in now that the rains have slowed down and the sun has reappeared.


Tim shows off our crops to one of the Airlie cooks before she places an order.

Fall is here. The abundance of summer crops has passed and we are embracing the change of seasons as our fall plants grow and we prepare for winter.

Pablo tills in our summer buckwheat to plant winter rye as a cover crop.

The okra is officially taller than Tim! He's 6'3."
