Hidden Acres in Full Swing

Other than the constant rain (pray for sun, please), things are going well at the farm. The crops all look wonderful and we've had great harvests for both our CSA members and the markets. Our lettuces are still going strong since they like the chilly and cold weather. We've made quite a few improvements and additions to the farm this summer. We've planted some beautiful flowers underneath our sign to which we've added a "picked to order" sign. We'll have the picked to order sign up to let people know that they can come on down to have us pick any vegetables that they would like right then. We also have a new self-serve farm stand up that will start to fill once we have things like cucumbers, tomatoes, summer squash, etc. ready. We've also been continually adding rich compost to build up our soil. Enjoy the pictures and pray for dry, sunny weather to dry out the farm and slow down the weeds!
