Hi farm friends! We are out here busily planting okra, basil, amaranth, and sweet potatoes. Melon lovers -- good news, watermelons are on the way! We've been getting lots in the ground. So, you'll soon have massive amounts of summer's favorite fruit. Tomatoes are ripening up... you can thank the cooler spring and early summer for the creeping pace. Bell peppers, shishitos, and sweet peppers have been doing great! Need inspiration on how to use these peppers? We love this simple recipe for shishitos.

The eggplant harvest has begun. Ever made baba ghanoush or this spicy eggplant dish? Might be a good time to try! We've been struggling with our cucumber and squash crops this year as pests have been plaguing us more than usual. We are getting more in the ground though, so don't fret!

On another note, we are still looking for an assistant farm manager! Someone super organized, loves farming, and also loves excel spreadsheets. Check out more info on that here. See y'all at markets this weekend.
