I can't believe we just made it through our fourth week at the market, and that I will be up in a few short hours to finish harvesting for our excellent members! I have to shout out to all those who have come to see us at the market, help at the farm, and attend our first farm event!! Seriously, I could not have done it without the help.
A short recap of the past few weeks in words: We finished the rabbit fencing (finally!), we fenced two rabbits in (whoops!), our peas, beans, beets, spinach, chard, lettuce, scallions and cabbage exploded and went off to fulfill happy tummies; our potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, zucchinis, squash and eggplants are blowing up and getting ready to cause a ruckus at the market, we are selling our purslane to True Food Kitchen in Cherry Creek North (so order the chicken purslane or purslane salad if you go, it's ours!!), and oh yeah, Mitty caught one of our two field pets (the BIG one!)!! See our pics below for back up to the crazy sentence you just fought your way through:
