garden in august

I went down to San Francisco this last weekend to discuss business with an old friend.  While I was gone…

  • the weeds grew
  • the beans began to produce
  • five hens began to lay eggs
  • the bird we’ve been watching with interest finally began to crow

How lucky am I to be a “wired farmer”? Yesterday, I posted a quick note to the PDXBackyardChix mailing list about a Buckeye Roo available in Cedar Mill. Today a nice woman came by to pick up our boy to give him a home farther out in the country.

Now we are down to 14 hens. Give us another week or two for the girls to get used to laying eggs, and we’ll have some nice eggs for you all.

We have enough bounty growing out there — greens, beans, squash, and herbs — that I will start some regular hours on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings so that you can stop by for fresh vegetables.

If you want produce or eggs on another day of the week, that’s fine, too.  Just give us a call (503.245.1507) or send email so that we can pick what you want and have it ready for you in a cooler outside our garage for when you stop by.  We want you to have the freshest produce and eggs possible.
