Sticky summer weather is cucumber weather!  And we grow four kinds!  So come see us tomorrow, at market or your CSA pick-up, and stock up!!!  And then check here at the blog again later this weekend, and we’ll tell you what to do with all of them.  Promise.

Well, helloooooooo spring! You’ve been quite the flirt this year, all redbuds bursting into bloom here and Red-breasted Grosbeaks at the feeder there, only to spurn us with long cold rains in the next breath.

Well, we’re glad we stuck around.

What you see there is one bunch of Easter Egg radishes. We’ll be bringing just a few dozen bunches to our Richmond markets tomorrow. It’s a bit of a tease — just like this spring! — but we promise it means mountains of gorgeous veggies are just around the corner. We’ll also have loads of flower, herb, tomato, and other veggie seedlings at our markets for another few weeks.

Some of y’all have been writing to be sure you haven’t missed the start of the CSA season. No worries: you haven’t! Our first deliveries (and on-farm pick-ups) will be in early June; members should keep an eye on their inboxes for an email with details about the first pick-up. You should have that by the end of the weekend. Just as soon as we finish scrubbing these radishes for you.

Hey folks! Just popping in to say that our 2009 farmers market schedule is confirmed. We’ll be at The Market at St. Stephen’s at Grove Ave and Three Chopt Road and the South of the James Market at Forest Hill Park.

Both markets are on Saturday mornings, and we’ll be there starting May 2!! We’ll be bringing lots of vegetable and flower seedlings for your gardens.  Within a week or two our first vegetables will be in and we can all breathe a collective sigh of “At last!”  Look for lettuce, scallions, carrots, beets, and summer squash to start.  We can’t wait to meet you.
