Jim and Boomer in the Truck! The Truck may be the MVP on the farm. It brings loads of vegetables in from the field. It carries sandbags and irrigation equipment. It travels the same short track many times a day. Thank you Truck!
With the welcome rain come the weeds! They rise up quickly. We are working to take them down! Here's another quick note from us while we try to surf the green wave!

Recipe: Tomato Sandwich in a bowl!
This a great way to have tomato sandwich with out the mess. I eat mine with a spoon nowadays. 

Ingredients
  • Cherry Tomatoes quartered or slicers tomato diced
  • 1 Cucumber, diced
  • 2-3 thick sliced of good bread diced (1/2 inch cubes?)
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Herb- optional (basil and dill are both good choices)
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced (optional)
  • Cheese (I like blue cheese)
  • Tofu (optional)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
  • Toss the ingredients together in a big bowl.
  • Let it sit for ten minutes if you can manage to wait!
  • I like it best at room temperature but it keeps in the fridge for a couple days too.
Notes
  • You can add whatever you want. Peppers, onions, vinegar? 
  • What makes this great is that the bread soaks in the tomato juice, the cucumbers make it crunchy.

​Tales from the Farm:
We've gotta get some fall ground prepped! This is the time of year that time is of the essence! Believe it or not, the day are getting shorter and our fall crops need to soak up all of the sunny head start that they can. And between shifting Wiley care and weather whims, we've had to keep adjusting. I think we're set to hit is off though. Wish winning upon us please! 

Hope to see you at market!

Helen for Jim, Tyler, Wiley, Boomer (bark layer), and Exie (morale officer)
