Tomatoes, Earth Day Market Recap, and Farm Tour this Saturday
April 25th, 2024
So many members of our community showed up this past weekend to celebrate Earth Day with us at the Farmers Market! We had an absolute blast and are so grateful you chose to spend your Saturday with us. We want to extend a special thank you to those of you that participated in the creek cleanup! Even though the kids were more excited about all of the wild blackberries growing along the creek, we were still able to clean up quite a bit of litter.
We were able to share our love of planting with both kids and adults alike at our microgreen seeding station. If you planted and took home seeds, don’t forget to spritz them with water twice a day until they sprout! Once they sprout, you can use scissors to harvest them. We can’t wait to hear about what you decide to do with them!
Visitors to the Farm Stand received a lovely Earth Day surprise: the very first cherry tomatoes and green beans of the season! We sold out of these very quickly so if you didn’t snag any, make sure to get there early this weekend. The Farm Stand is open every Saturday from 9am-1pm.
If you missed out on this amazing event and still want to experience the farm during springtime, we encourage you to join us for our next Farm Tour this Saturday, April 27th, from 10-11am. You’ll have the opportunity to see all of the tomato varieties we’re growing and you might even get to sample some! We’ll be exploring all of the crops coming up on the horizon in addition to our swiftly growing flower patch. Our tours are open to the public and free of charge. We request that you sign up here beforehand if you plan on attending.Â
