Getting ready for cover crop
I will keep this short and sweet,
there is so much to eat in the August heat.
Tomatoes of all shapes and sizes
plus crunchy peppers and other surprises.
Like the pineapple tasting ground cherry,
And heirloom melon so good they are scary.
Potatoes and flowers, the squash and the beet,
We've a diverse selection to make any meal complete
Come out to market, if for no other reason,
than to enjoy the bounty of our first Michigan season.
I know, I am a dork.
There is so much to report that there is almost nothing to report. I felt like we got caught up last week and now I feel like we are slipping behind. The timing of the farm is dynamic and only very loosely tied to the regimented schedule we pretend to follow, and only very mildly in our control. Despite my feelings, I think we are floating along at a quick clip, doing the work an seeing it thread through time producing abundance.
And here is a change up: it rained. This is the first time it has rained any significant amount for the month of August. Almost three quarters of an inch! And it wasn't a hammering onslaught, but a gentle shower. We are grateful.
We are also grateful for the tidal wave of tomatoes we are experiencing. It is a great time of year to put food by. In that spirit: TOMATO SALE!
12 pounds of delicious, pre-selected red tomatoes for just $20
5+ pounds of tomatoes of your choice $2.50 per pound
10+ pounds of tomatoes of your choice $2.00 per pound
3 pints of Cherry Tomatoes for only $8
Reminder, Sunday, Howell market is having Melonfest. We will be there, but not even close to our usual spot, so please look for the bright yellow stripe on our market sign.
