Things feel busy at the farm this week. The 100 degree days are brutal, to be sure, but there is the slightest scent of Autumn in the occasional breeze, and this, combined with the thousands of fall plants we're working to seed, has us feeling optimistic that the heat will eventually subside. If you want to get in on this agricultural sense of optimism, we encourage you to come volunteer with us! We are knee-deep in our busiest planting week of the whole year, and next week will be more of the same. We need your help! Did you know that if you volunteer with us for the day, you get to leave with a Medium CSA share? Help out your local farm and leave with free vegetables. 'Nuff said! To volunteer, you must RSVP by filling out this Google form. Our volunteer coordinator, Angie, will shoot you a confirmation email!

Remember that baby bok choy from a few weeks ago? It's sizing up, and its stark white stems looks beautiful on our dark brown soil. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Pretty great germination rates, if you ask us! We spy two empty cells of the hundreds pictured. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
