We have been absent from social media for a while, but it's because we slow down (sorta) in the summer months, tackling projects that we don't have time to do during the main growing season. One of those projects is doing canning for our own family's benefit. This week is peach-a-palooza, thanks to incredibly sweet peaches from The Peach Truck! (Our trees are too young to produce the volume we eat.) We are busy canning sliced peaches, jam, jelly, and syrup, and I won't even confess how many slices of sourdough with peanut butter and peaches I have consumed this week. Soooo, how are you spending your summer months?

We are going to have a bumper crop of this year! Our vines are loaded with blooms and fruit. Because it has been so dry, pollinators are struggling. That means daily hand-pollination to ensure fruit set. Anybody know a good rain dance? 😉🥵

From the Farm

After years of military moves, we finally settled in our forever home and affectionately dubbed it The Forest Farm. It is where we are finally living out those postponed plans that we wanted to do "someday." We hope you will stay in touch with Facebook and visit our website when something catches your attention. There you will find a calendar of events, updates on our harvests, and kitchen products available for regional delivery. Want to see something in particular? Message us! Just remember that our farm is our home, so contact us if you need to visit so we can make sure we are available.
