Behind the Berm Farm

05/03/2024

Behind the Berm Farm is gearing up for the 2024 season. Two years ago we planted extra rhubarb which means we will have lots of it this year. I feel like it is one of those vegetables that is underrated. Who likes rhubarb?

Garlic harvest is happening. This haul is only 10 minutes of work tonight.

It has been a while since we updated on farm progress. Tomatoes are in the ground along with cucumbers, zucchini, onions, shallots and leeks. First planting of corn is about 3 inches tall. Potatoes are peeking through and will be hilled up this week. Gathered these in the rain this morning. This wet and cool weather has been great for the springtime vegetables.

We still have CSA shares available for 2022. Delivery available! Locally grown produce from our family farm in SW Boise. Find out more info and order online at https://behind-the-berm-farm-llc.square.site/

It's not raining, or snowing and we don't have 30+ mph winds. Perfect day for these baby lettuces to be transplanted in the garden.

How many times have you bought lettuce from the store and it only lasts 5-7 days? Buying fresh from the farm it can last up to 3 weeks and it tastes so much better than store bought! This year we are upping our lettuce game and are growing Yugoslavian Red, Lolla Rosa, Royal Oak Leaf, Buttercrunch, Igloo, Red Romaine, Prizehead, and Simpson Elite along with a few others. You can sign up for our CSA at the link below, or if we have extra we may sell by the bag so check back in June.

We are sold out for 2021 shares. Thank you everyone! We may be selling some vegetables by the pound/unit later this summer and will post about that on FB.

Also, if you are driving down Cloverdale near Victory keep an eye out for our 5th graders 'on your honor' produce stand. He will likely open in late June and mostly sells tomatoes, peppers and corn.
