Update from the Field

We have been busy planting, growing, and even harvesting this week.  We added two new herbs to the herb garden. How does orange thyme and Spanish lavender sound?  We also harvested all the garlic scapes.

With quite a bit of rain this week (almost an inch of a good soaking rain yesterday) there is the potential of a slow down in the field work. We can't take Kevin* out because driving on the wet field could cause compaction.

Despite the extra rain, we expect to harvest our first crop of peas tomorrow! As the days of June march forward we will be harvesting more and more. We are still on target for the first day of this year’s CSA to be June 25^th. Remember it is not too late to join if you have not already done so. Visit our page on Local Harvest to ensure you have a variety of fresh food on your pantry shelves and in your kitchen door this summer and autumn.

*New to Kindred Ground Farm? Kevin is our wonderful tractor. He is named after Kevin, the giant bird in the 2009 film Up. If you haven’t seen Kevin, you will know him when you arrive to the farm because he is large, beautiful, and bright orange!
