This week has been eventful. One of the farm's livestock guardians, Odin, somehow managed to tear his ACL and was also diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Large breeds are prone to conditions such as hip dysplasia- Great Pyrenees especially. Send my big polar bear good vibes as he recovers! And don't worry, his sister Luna is there to pic up the slack keeping the chickens safe.








This week's harvest was pretty similar to last week with lots of greens and Spring goodness. We have quite a bit of summer weather in the forecast, so I foresee the summer veggies getting a good kick-start. I noticed blossoms on the squash plants as I was harvesting yesterday, so we should have squash and zucchini in the next week or two. The cauliflower has also started to form tiny heads, which is always exciting!


As always everyone, wash your produce and store greens in the fridge! Most of the produce gets an ice bath rinse before packing but it's always a good practice to wash again before you cook/eat them.


Have a great week!
