Week 5
Hello all, Hope you're doing well and are having a great start to your summer. And the summer weather keeps coming on - great for some things, and tough for others.

Week 4
Hello everyone, Hope you're all faring well despite the heat wave. It's been a hot couple of days on the farm, but through copious amounts of water, Gatorade and some sneak-attack hose-spraying, we managed to harvest your veggies and stay decently hydrated.
