We are feeling much better but still testing positive for COVID so we will not be able to be at market today (Sunday December 17). Since there is no market next Sunday this means we will not be at Chamberlain Acres Market until two weeks from today. Sorry about this. Merry Christmas!

 Well, it has finally happened. After avoiding it for almost 4 years we both have Covid. We will not be able to be at market Thursday December 14. See you next week!

 

Tomato soup? No just mushing cherry tomatoes to extract the seeds.

Warning: This is the last week of CSA! Thanks so much for a great season. Keep the fresh vegetables coming by joining our Fall/Winter CSA.

This tomato is Sart Roloise. It was an impulse buy from Baker Creek Seeds last winter, but we have gotten many comments and questions about it at market so we may have to add it to our repertoire.

Processing cherry tomatoes that we are growing as a seed crop for Fruition Seeds. We squish the seeds into a bucket and let them ferment for a few days. Then they are cleaned with fresh water and spread out onto a screen to dry.

We would like to invite all CSA members to come out for an evening at the farm. Friday August 25 at 6:00 we will have our annual tomato-tasting event and potluck dinner. Come see what's happening at Muddy Fingers this summer and taste all of the varieties of tomatoes we are growing this year.

We had an awesome garlic harvest this year. Very little rot and nice size thanks to plenty of rain in June and July.

We have always sworn we would never grow it. We said its not profitable enough. Its hard to grow organically and keep out the weeds. It has too many pests. Its not actually a vegetable. It takes up too much room on a small farm like ours. But this year we finally decided to try growing sweet corn.
