A little early morning Spinach planting! Oh and I could actually see my breath this morning 😬 Too soon?? Haha oh well Fall is fast approaching but with days like we have had lately i’ll take it! Have a great Tuesday folks. Cheers Dan .grown

08/31/2024

Good morning folks! Decided to start pulling some Purple Daikon Radishes this morning 😎 As Fall gets closer it will be like a ‘second’ spring here at Kiwi Roots Farm. We are still waiting on our second plating of Tomatoes to get going here 😕 Hopefully another week… Never fear, lot’s of goodness available over the weekend. See you at the stand. Cheers Dan .grown

08/23/2024

See ya later Cukes! You were much loved while you lasted 🤪 We managed a good long season this year compared to last, so that’s a win! Alas, they have succumbed to the bug pressure and rough weather. This bed will now transition into Arugula! Keep those crops turning. Catch ya at the stand. Cheers Dan .grown

08/23/2024

Evening folks. I have a bunch seconds Garlic to move. 37lb total. Ideal for anyone looking to make garlic infused oil or minced garlic for the winter. It is seconds quality because it won’t store long term but still good garlic. Price is $6 per lb. Ideally looking for some to buy everything but willing to portion it out. Inquire at the farm stand or shoot me an email - [email protected]

08/21/2024

Good morning folks! Hope everyone’s week is off to a solid start. Has been a busy start to the week here at Kiwi Roots. We will have no shortage of Salad Mix this week! Higher yields return with cooler weather. Got our first Spinach of the Fall transplanted. All of our other crops are looking great as Fall quickly approaches (not too quick we hope 😉) We will have our second planting of Potatoes, lots of Cilantro (finally 😝) Lots of Chard, Leek, Bok Choy, Turnips, Radishes, Ginger, Sweet Potatoes (🤞) and much more! Have to say a HUGE thank you to my father in law for helping me install our new Caterpillar tunnel. Pretty excited to finally get this built. This tunnel will be a huge help in protecting our last planting of tomatoes and then will transition to a winter tunnel of spinach and more! Other than that just trucking along here. Catch ya soon. Cheers Dan .grown

08/17/2024

Morning folks! We currently only have Seconds quality Tomatoes at the moment due to losing our first crop earlier than usual due to disease. However, we will have our Field Tomatoes coming in soon, so we will have another wave before the summer is over! Lot’s of other veggies available so come by and check us out. Have a great weekend! Cheers Dan .grown

08/15/2024

Looks like we will have some nice Arugula and Red head lettuce tomorrow at the stand 😋 Other additions include Romaine and Beans. We will not have Salad Mix this week as it needs a little longer in the field. Come check out all the other goodies on offer as well from 2pm - 6pm . Cheers Dan .grown

08/14/2024

How about this weather eh?? Loving it! Beaut evening to harvest out a bed of Potatoes and have a look at our first Spinach babies 🤤 .grown

08/12/2024

When life gives you lemons.. Well you know the rest 🤪🤪 Here is a snap shot of our sad Hoop house tomatoes… A bit of a bummer to say the least but all is not hopeless! Cherries are still doing ok and we have another planting of field tomatoes coming on soon! Will be tweaking some growing practices next year tomato wise but for now have to more forward. These tomatoes will come out and other Fall crops will go in 😉PS - see our Ginger??!! It seems to be doing pretty well so look forward to that later in Sept! Happy Monday folks. Cheers Dan .grown

08/11/2024

Just a quick thank you from our family to yours for another great week of support at the Stand! We love growing veggies for you and look forward to another round next week. Happy Sunday! Cheers D&K .grown

08/09/2024

Afternoon folks and Happy Friday! We are right back to hot and humid today.. Mother nature is throwing it at us in droves this season.. Oh well, part of the challenge they say 😜 Anyway, I went to harvest more Tomatoes today and discovered that we have suffered from a bunch of splitting on top of the blight that is already kicking our butt 🙃 We will be selling our tomatoes at a discounted rate and with a little luck our second planting will come in strong before too long! See you at the stand. Cheers Dan .grown

08/08/2024

Come and get it folks! It may be soggy out but its dry here in the farm stand. Lot’s of goodies available. We now have our Red and Yellow onions available and Delicata squash because why not?! See you soon. Cheers Dan .grown

08/04/2024

Heya folks! Happy Sunday. Hope you’re enjoying some relaxation time today (after you grab your veggies of course 😉) Just thought I’d give a wee update on how things are growing here at Kiwi Roots Farm. As you can see the planting doesn’t stop! (At least for a few more weeks that is!) These little seedlings will go in hopefully before the next rainy spell.. All in all, it has been a bountiful season so far but of course it is not always the case for a handful of crops. Unfortunately, our hoop house tomatoes are suffering from (i think blight) this basically aborts any new flowers which would equal new fruit.. Alas, it is not fixable at this point but luckily we have field plantings that should get us through! This is just one example of things that don’t work out sometimes when farming (there are plenty more) but is part of the challenge and what we sign up for when working with mother nature. There are certainly things i can do next year to hopefully improve growing conditions for a better outcome but for now we move forward and look ahead to plenty of other yummy crops to come. We thank you all again for the amazing support we get every week and we hope these updates can help everyone understand what it takes to grow food. It’s a real joy and we are grateful to be able to do it. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend. Cheers D&K .grown

08/01/2024

Hey folks. Thursday = first farm stand of the week! Salad Mix is back! Out early this morning getting a fresh cut in. Look forward to seeing you all again at the stand. Cheers Dan .grown

07/30/2024

Hey folks. Making the most of a cool evening with no rain showers. My mission was take out two beds of Sprouting Broccoli that have been producing great for many weeks but now they are no longer productive enough to keep in at this point. I am a big fan of finding ways to do things faster and to make most out of all of my many tools. You might see in the pictures that I have used an oscillating saw to cut the broccoli off at ground level leaving the roots in the ground. I then use my little electric Tilther to mix in the residue grass/weeds in with the top couple of inches of soil. Fortunately the weeds do not have seed heads! Anyway, i’ll leave these beds alone a few days to dry out and then I will come in with fresh compost and plant some Fall Carrots 🥕 These beds will be on their 3rd crop of the season and will end it with their 4th crop being Winter Rye. It always amazes me just how much we can produce throughout the growing season here in Connecticut. Have a nice evening. Cheers Dan .grown

07/28/2024

Good morning folks! Tomatoes are in abundance right now, so if you are a buttered toast with a big slab of fresh tomato on top type of person then Kiwi Roots has you covered! 🍅🍅 I also found a little Salad Mix! We won’t have a ton of Lettuce but in another week or so it should be back in full swing hopefully. Have a great day and maybe we will see you at the stand. Cheers Dan .grown

07/25/2024

Loaded with goodies folks! .grown

07/23/2024

Hey folks! Busy couple of days here at Kiwi Roots Farm. Trying to capitalize on the overcast and drizzly days. What’s great about this weather is we can plant anytime of the day and young transplants can get settled in before the next wave of heat (hopefully) Some of the plantings include, turnips, bok choy, daikon radish, watermelon radish, rutabaga, beets and more 🤪 Next planting of cukes is producing well, sweet potatoes look super healthy but time will tell 🤞Italian Sweet Peppers are coming along. Still a long season ahead but it’s worth it to see everyone happy to pick up their weekly vege. Have a nice evening and catch ya soon. Cheers Dan .grown

07/21/2024

Laid down another 3 beds of Onions after close today. These are Yellow onions which will available at the stand in a few weeks after they are cured. Also want to say thank you to everyone new and old to Kiwi Roots Farm. We had another amazing week of support and cannot thank you all enough for going out of your way to grab your veggies from us! Have a relaxing Sunday evening and great start to the week. Cheers D&K .grown

07/20/2024

Hey folks! Just got in another planting of Lettuce after close today. Unfortunately, due to high demand and generally lower yields during peak summer. We are out of Salad Mix! We still have some Romaine available and Red, Head Lettuce for Sunday but I think it will be possibly two weeks until the next Lettuce harvest can happen! Until then, please stop by and check out all the other goodies we have because there are plenty. That’s it from me, off to plant Arugula next! Cheers Dan .grown
