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.

From our tomato tasting potluck. The winners: Cherry division- Honeydrop (not pictured). Slicer division - Aunt Ruby's German Green (the big green one)

Cucumber thief

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.
