24 Nov 200923 Nov 2009 by Mike (tfb)

Harvested a few tiny (tennis ball to softball-sized, like, orange to grapefruit…little ones!) cauliflower from the last-planted section of brassicas that also has kale and broccoli. It’s still producing in home-consumption quantities, but with the exception of some strap kale, … Read the rest

Spinach finale

19 Apr 202216 Nov 2009 by Mike (tfb)
Last spinach harvest of the year

So this is it for the season’s spinach, a last 18lbs (8kg) of Spargo, unfazed by many subzero nights and all sorts of up-and-down weather antics. Spinach is one of the great ones for cold-climate tiny farming, easy-going once it … Read the rest

Harvesting Jerusalem artichoke

18 Nov 20092 Oct 2009 by Mike (tfb)

For tomorrow’s farmers’ market, Lynn, Andie and Jordan harvested more of this year’s Jerusalem artichoke. The tubers have gotten noticeably bigger since pulling some just a couple of weeks ago… Chokes are a really simple, satisfying harvest, at least, when … Read the rest

Eat good food

3 Feb 202226 Sep 2009 by Mike (tfb)

We’ve been faithfully bringing the matching pair of chalkboards to the farmers’ market since we bought them at an office supply box store in mid-summer, but it’s what to put on ’em that’s the puzzle. Today’s new message: “Eat good … Read the rest
