News from the Farm


We hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July
weekend!


We are very excited about the Shiitake Mushroom logs and the
harvest. The picture of them gives you
an idea of how they are grown. Basically, we inoculated the logs with Shiitake spores, sealed the holes
with wax, and let them sit for a few months. Last week, we submerged them in a tank of water for about 30 hours. We have been watering them several times a
day and they are fruiting beautifully. We hope you enjoy!



I’m sure most of you have been enjoying these cool days, but
the veggies like it hot, hot, hot. The
tomatoes, beans and cukes are full of blossoms, but are taking their sweet time
in this cool weather. We did have to
irrigate last night and this morning, so I guess it is heating up.



We are missing some of the “extra” boxes; please return them
if you have one- thanks.


Have a marvelous week!
