Tomato Season
Hello All, It has been a few weeks since I sent a Farmers' Market email reminder. We have been busy harvesting and enjoying the bounty of the season, raising our new flock of chickens, paddle boarding, bed flipping, moving into our new wash/pack barn and making deliveries all around the region. Now is truly the time to visit the Farmers' Market, everything is in season and producing like crazy. This week we are offering a sale on full size tomatoes if you buy 10lbs or more!

Rainy Market Day Updates
Hello All, This week, and weekend we worked hard to finish harvesting our garlic, all 12,000 heads of it! The harvest came just in time for our new barn to be done so we are christening the barn rafters by hanging the garlic to dry. Amidst the garlic harvest we are also flipping beds to fall beets and carrots, weeding, taking care of the chickens including our new batch of 250 baby chicks and eating many tomato sandwiches. The forecast calls for heavy rain today but we are

Two Markets! Two Markets!
Hello All, And just like that, it is mid July. The peas are ending and the green beans have begun with a force, the first full size tomatoes are beginning to blush (if they can escape Bernadette's hungry pecking!) and the cucumbers hang heavy on the vine. We spend most mornings harvesting for wholesale orders and markets and then weed and transplant in the afternoons. Any day now our next batch of laying hens will arrive as tiny peeping fluffballs and we have their brooder

July Market NEWS!
Hello All, Somehow July always arrives with a bang (literally, Happy 4th!) and the chaos of summer surrounds us all at once. Suddenly everything must be trellised, harvested, weeded and transplanted. Suddenly we are surrounded by hundreds of pounds of cucumbers and the first sweet cherry tomatoes. I try to remind myself that these are the days we dream about in the depths of winter even as our work days get longer and our bodies more tired. But, mostly I am in awe at the bea

Summer Colors
Hello All, The neon hues of early spring have given way to the deeper greens and blues of summer. I always try to hold on to these seasonal shifts; noticing when the light changes and the sounds of the insects change, peepers giving way to crickets and oven birds, spring buds to full fledged leaves and flowers. Now the bounty on the farm starts rolling in too, peas and cucumbers, tomatoes and parsley. The farmers had the first taste of a sungold tomato yesterday (coming soon

Solstice Sunshine
Hello All, The early summer heat has swept us into mid June and we are enjoying these cooler days where the sunshine doesn't accost us quite so aggressively in the fields. The summer crops are growing in leaps and bounds and we are hurrying to trellis the tomatoes almost every few days now. The first baby beets will be making an appearance at market tomorrow and the basil is fragrant and ready for pesto! With Patrick gone, Jasen and I have been putting in some early mornings

Hello All, Good Morning! We are headed out to harvest and before I go, I wanted to send out the weekly reminder to come visit us at The Peterborough Farmers' Market today from 3pm - 6pm at the Bowling Alley, see you there! Last week I had a terrible mishap where I accidentally froze all the veggies we had harvested that morning for market. So if you came last week you may have gotten some free or deeply discounted greens! Needless to say, I learned my lesson and will NEVER b

Spring Season Transitions
Hello All, Happy Spring! After a long, cold winter, it feels good to finally be able to call it spring here in New Hampshire. Life is certainly bursting here on the farm. The seedling house is full of transplants and the fields and hoop houses are filling up quickly with lettuce, onions, kale, swiss chard and our first raspberry plants. Beth has been busy harvesting an abundance of beautiful tulips that have been adding color to our days. It is a wild year of growth here at

Buried in Snow
Hello All, This season of life feels heavy, overwhelming and full of unknowns. While I grapple with staying informed and looking beyond this small corner of New Hampshire that I inhabit, I also must trudge through the snow to feed and water 300 chickens, walk the dog, make soup for dinner, sweep the ashes from the wood stove and stoke the fire. My mind is on a constant seesaw between the pressing daily tasks to keep my family, my animals, my farm, my community fed and loved

A Season of Change
Hello All, It has been a while since I sat down to write you all. In that time the days have gotten short and dark, the summer crops have been harvested, the garlic has been planted and the fields have been cover cropped (their version of being tucked into bed). The mornings greet us with frost on the hillsides, while the last of the brown leaves cling to the trees along the field edges. Our days hold a different rhythm this time of year. Without the constant growth and heat

Summer Abundance, Come Find Us!
Hello Everyone, It has been awhile! First we got swept away in all the rain, then the heat and humidity took it out of us, now we are tackling a sea of weeds every day before they overtake the farm. Phew! Through it all, the harvests are coming in beautifully and we have so much bounty to share. We spend most of our time harvesting lettuce mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, greens and so much more. When we can, we weed and trellis and work on some of the larger projects such as
