      Full and By Farm: A Pretty Beautiful Season

      June 17, 2016 By Sara Kurak Leave a Comment

      This has been a pretty beautiful season so far. Three-quarters of our fields are in some stage of haying and should be up in the mow by this weekend. It's a lot of sweaty, exhausting work to tackle all at once, but also a welcome relief to have so much under our belts so early in … [Read more...] about Full and By Farm: A Pretty Beautiful Season

      Full and By Farm logo

      It is the last pick-up of the winter share and it's a good one to leave that season behind on. We have lots of new veggies out of the field—spinach, spicy greens mix, prize choi, pac choi, baby radishes and turnips, micro leeks and full sized kale. And, as promised last week, we … [Read more...] about Full and By Farm: Hot, Dry Spring

      Barnraising at Full and By Farm (Credit: Sara Kurak)

      After lots of waiting and plenty of pleading summer has finally made it to our vegetables fields. True, it is just in time to catch the tail end of August, but I'll be happy for what I get this year. Our third succession of green beans are finally plentiful, the tomatoes are … [Read more...] about Full and By Farm: Barn Raising

      I've been too scrunched for time on Thursday's to get many farm notes out this summer. But, we did want to let you all know that we have a week-long work party happening at the farm, starting right now. Construction of the new pole barn is the main project this week, with hopes … [Read more...] about Full and By Farm: Week-Long Work Party
