Blue Fox Farm

What’s at Market? Week of May 24th

We’re in full on “GROW” mode now. The tomatoes are growing, it seems, double every week and the cukes are growing even faster. I love leaving the farm at the end of one day, returning the next, and noticing measurable change.

We must be getting close to summer, as everyone here in the Applegate Valley is cutting their “first cutting” of hay. And the folks down the road with the acres of sweet corn have a nice stand emerging from the soil. Summer approaches quickly.

It does seem that we see a lull at markets this time of year. Maybe it’s the fact that everyone is already tired of the spring crops, waiting for all the super summer crops to come on. Or maybe people are busy with end of school, beginning of summer vacation madness. Who knows…. just something I’ve observed over the past few seasons.

But don’t worry, we’ll be at market every week, with every type of produce we can manage to bring. Hopefully we’ll continue to improve on these offerings as our years in the valley build. Wish us luck. We’re going to be here doing this a long long time.
