Deliveries will be starting the 2nd week of June, as we did last year. It is not up to us but up to the plants. Rich is assessing the fields to see what can be harvested, but the freeze we had at the farm last week set everything back. Farmer Rich & our new employee Ali have been busy planting and the cauliflower, cabbage broccoli, chard & kale are all in. This week coming, they plan on planting tomatoes, peppers & eggplant. Our Vidalia type onions (Texas Super Sweet) are doing well and will probably be in the first delivery. Garlic greens are up and probably will be in the early deliveries and the garlic scapes should be ready to harvest toward the end of June. Radishes, turnips & New Zealand spinach all have been seeded. The fava beans are coming along great and they are usually harvested in early to mid July. We anticipate the early deliveries to include onions, garlic greens, lettuce, herbs, sorrel & rhubarb . Farmer Adam (a neighboring farmer) has planted strawberries this year and we hope that they do well for a middle of June delivery, but as we say it is all up to the plants!
