One post, two weeks at the farm. Below you'll see Scott's photos from the past two weeks at JBG. He visited the fields and the barn, and experienced days of downpour as well as days of extreme heat. In just a mere week, a lot can happen at a farm: new crops are ready, old ones retire, machines break and then are fixed, and all the while the crops rolls in so we can roll them out. Have you been enjoying the vegetables? Scroll to see where and how they're grown!

Before there are tomatoes, there are green leafy plants. These nightshades take nutrients from the soil and energy from the sun and leaf out. Only then, will they set fruit. Right now, the farm is full of tomato plants, heavy with fruit. Next up: Ripening! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Some tomatoes we cage, some we stake. These tomatoes are planted between wooden stakes, and will be propped up by a trellis system called the Florida Weave. Photo by Scott David Gordon.

How well do you know your tomatoes? Can you identify these oblong, paste tomatoes? Photo by Scott David Gordon.

It's straw hat season, y'all! Perhaps it's a surprise to you, but it remains jean and long-sleeve shirt season year round. There is no better way to protect from the sun, bugs, and weeds than coverage! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Fun fact? When this logo was designed years ago, the lines in the block letters were inspired by the line of our crop beds. Now that you know, bet you won't forget! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Welcome to the team! New (to us) fork lift for the farm! This is a BIG deal! Photo by Scott David Gordon.
