Another week in the books

October 28, 2021  /  Elisa Lane

Greetings!

I’ve been off the farm all week due to a minor, non-farm related injury, and Elisa’s been away for family reasons, and so it’s been quite the adventure to manage what’s happening on the farm from afar. It turns out it takes a whole lot of text messages! Our crew has been hard at work filling orders, harvesting, and tending to every little thing on the farm. I’m so thankful to have them and relieved that they were able to dive headfirst into the madness this week. Jenna and Meg are amazing people and we’re so lucky to have them with us.

Since I haven’t been on the farm at all, I don’t have much to write today, so I’ll just leave you with some recent photos, courtesy of Elisa, Jenna, and Meg.

Once again, we managed to send off tons of marigolds to designers for Dia de los Muertos installations! We really struggled with marigolds this year (groundhogs would not stop eating them) but we finally got a nice crop in the high tunnel.

Some of the last flowers of the season- high tunnel mums!

There’s nothing sweeter than Finn and Harry!

Sunday, October 31st, 8:00 am - 11:00 am: Johnny’s

We’ll be back at our regular market this weekend with lots of good stuff to share.

This week we’ll have carrots, figs, hakurei turnips, persimmons, radishes, spring mix, and the last of the season’s shishito peppers. Our produce offerings for the year are dwindling, but we’ll do our best to bring a good selection to market weekly.

We’ll have plenty of bouquets, in addition to bunches of mums, dahlias, and eucalyptus- likely the last blooms of the year.

And, of course, wreaths are back!

Wishing you well,

Amelia and the rest of the Two Boots Farm crew

Persimmons! Our first big harvest from a tree Doron planted years ago.

Once the weather cools down Gray is never far from the action.
