Here’s what’s happening on the farm in the month of July:

Seeding and transplanting tons of fall crops – kale, cauliflower, carrots, beets, radicchio, parsley, cilantro, broccoli, cabbage, and more and more.

Killing weeds as much as possible with hoes and tractors.

Harvesting heaps of vegetables and taking them to the people!

Overseeing some carrot seeding

Transplanting fall brassicas

Planting three acres of buckwheat. We sowed it with a broadcast spreader and then dragged a big log around to incorporate the seed

Felix checking out our potatoes

Killing weeds

Bounteous radishes

Harvesting lettuce in the rain

Salad greens in the farm truck

Brady washing turnips

Collin harvesting green garlic

Full tables at the Broadway market

That’s all for now. Hope we can catch up with you again before August!

So beautiful! All of our food should come from places like this-sending a big hug to Collin from Ohio!!

Hi there,
Miriam Bulmer sent me a link to your website. I love what you guys are doing. I am working furiously to transform my 2.5 acres in Snohomish into something useful that can feed my family entirely as well as have surplus to sell.

Would love to come out and see what you’re doing, perhaps even lend a hand for an afternoon. Do you do things like this?

Thanks,
Will Fifield
