Put a pep in your step!
We hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend with friends and family (and plenty of good food of course)! After harvesting 150 pounds of garlic this past Saturday, the farm crew spent some time this week clearing out our second garlic bed and hanging up the bounty in the packing shed. Planted right before Thanksgiving, our garlic has just a few more weeks to cure before it’s ready to be enjoyed — at just about 7 months from seed to harvest, it’s our longest-growing crop.
While you’re waiting for garlic to make it’s appearance at the Farm Stand, get excited for peppers! We harvested the first of the green bell peppers, poblanos, and jalapeños this week, which will all be available at the Farm Stand tomorrow. Thinning some of the larger fruits from the bell pepper plants while still green will help encourage the remaining peppers to ripen, which means red bells will be on their way shortly!
