It’s July! Heritage Farm’s harvest is in full swing! Bunched greens, heads of lettuce & herbs continue to produce. Tomato & peppers are so close to ripe we’re beginning to taste them. Distribution of our weekly harvest goes home with Methodist Services’ Summer campers & their parents. Feels like Summer!

As mid May approaches, we begin planting hot summer crops like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers & eggplants. About every 2 weeks, plants will need to be cultivated or w**ded to beat back the pressure of newly germinated w**d seed. In addition arugula & radishes are ready to be harvested with peas & strawberries close behind them!

Heritage Farmer Ryan Curran picked up plant starts from PHS : Pennsylvania Horticultural Society - broccoli, cabbage, collards, kale, lettuce, parsley & scallions. These cold, hardy plants will be planted in 2-3 weeks, since they are not hardy enough to make it through 25 degree nights! Enjoying an indoor sleepover💤💤
