Jon the Farmer - Urban Farmer

It's time - woohoo!!

Happy 16th Birthday to our Amazing Son!!

While a lot has changed (as it should), what counts remains - a kind soul, sarcastic & smart wit, and the all too appropriate knowledge that we know nothing. 😜🤣😅

Oh, it's only 108° in the stepvan today. Easy breezy.

While Labor Day may not directly address child labor laws - because of the hard work of many Americans - worker's rights were brought to the forefront and, in turn, children would benefit, too.

Lately, folks have been asking about late season seeds. We welcome you to check out our offerings on our website - they ship next day!

Jon's a vegetable grower aka an urban farmer or small scale farmer or....he grows as much and as varying as possible. Give it a try - maybe you'll catch the bug!!

Week in Review: vibrancy, early tomatoes, einkorn wheat, kitties in a basket, sweet corn and a silly guy.

08/23/2024

One of our fave, here-since-day-one customers has been quite busy this week!! We are always appreciative when we get to see what she's up to!!

08/22/2024

To all of our CSA folks: apparently I sent out the Sweet Addition email (instead of the Sweet Edition) with the recipe tonite. hahahaha I promise I know the difference, but apparently my fingers didn't whilst I typed!!

None-the-less, Jon looks forward to seeing each of you tomorrow.

Last week hooked me up with this amazing, salty and delicious sesame pretzel, so....guess what our bread subscribers are gonna get to try?? It will be the bun version, but I have no doubt it will be a flavor explosion!!

08/17/2024

Last Saturday I awoke from a grass nap to a loud cracking sound. As many of you know, we love our willow so to see it in such a sad state was, well ... Sad.

Jon spent yesterday cutting away branches and limbs to relieve some pressure and ultimately chainsawing two big branches off in hopes of avoiding more breakage.

Fingers crossed this will be a healing time for this beautiful tree.
