Introduction

Because this is our first year, we are starting out small. We have planted an acre of produce which we plan to sell. We are using this blog to update our friends and acquaintances about the happenings at our farm. We will post when the produce is coming on so you can be the first to know about what is available. If you have a particular item you know you will want, you can contact us so that when it's ready we will contact you to reserve the desired quantity for you.

Following is a list of the vegetables we have planted this year:

Tomatoes: Celebrity, Roma, Pik Red, a few Amish German, Better Boy, Royal Chico, Cherry, Beefsteak, Yellow Low Acid, Juliet, and a few Pearl King heirloom. (almost 1300 plants)
