glorious growth

We’ve come so far this year.  Really.  I don’t care that the lettuce has bolted, the potatoes suffered some, and the basil got such a late start.  Look at this wonder:

The tomato jungle:

The cucumbers are just getting started, but they’re growing well and already have baby fruit on them:

Shhhh…  don’t tell this gorgeous cauliflower that it’s August!

We loved meeting more of our neighbors during our first open farm hours this last weekend.  Thank you, neighbors!  We’ll host open hours on Fridays (4 – 6 pm) and Saturdays (9am – noon) most weekends for the rest of the harvest season.  Please come by and say hello.  We also will pick vegetables (and reserve eggs) for you on other days — just call (503.245.1507) or email.  We won’t pick them until you request them, though, because we want them to be as fresh as possible for you.  We notice a difference, and you will, too.

(psst…  five hens are laying…  the rest should start laying eggs in the next couple of weeks.  the eggs are wonderful.)

    just want to say how wonderful my green beans were. and, the chilled curried squash soup with a little extra heat and some oaxacan sour cream was AMAZING. eggs this morning with some sauted squash gave me a healthy energizing start to my day. thanks for providing all of these things for me. i am grateful for the food and then info.
