After the thunderstorms at market on Thursday the tablecloths and tent were set out to dry - alas no rain at the farm!

Tell us what you think of this new red carrot variety. It has been growing great and looks beautiful. Red carrots don't seem to be as sweet as orange carrots though. It has been great to have the Purple Haze carrot seed available again; it has been missing for a few years and it is one our favorite varieties.

We have goats again. Well not really. We are borrowing our friends two bucks to help clean out our hedgerows. The hedgerows have really grown up in brush over the last couple years since we no longer have goats.
