News from Windflower Farm

Distribution No. 10, Week of August 5, 2024

It was a big week here at Windflower Farm. On Wednesday, two gentlemen from the Department of Labor were here for one of their regular check-ins, on Thursday it was a Homeland Security investigator, on Friday our organic inspector came to walk through our fields and review all our records. We received a complement for being well organized! And today it was a photographer from FarmAid. Willie Nelson, Dave Mathews and Neil Young will be playing in Saratoga Springs and they wanted photos from a few nearby farms. Wouldn't they be fun to go see?

We are planting the last of our cucumbers this week, with fingers crossed that downy mildew doesn’t wipe them out before we have something to show for our effort. We are also making our final plantings of broccoli and root crops this week. Field sowings of spinach, arugula, Swiss chard and various mustard greens will continue for another month. The onion harvest is winding down, with relatively good yields. We’ll start harvesting potatoes next week. Roasted with a little salt, a little rosemary and a little olive oil... I can't wait. 

Next week’s share will likely include garlic, peppers, tomatoes, beets, sweet corn, and a mix of greens.

Have a great week, Ted
