FARM REPORT
The high pressure dome of air sitting over us has brought lots of heat, and a south of the border farm schedule. In order to do all we have to do in this oppressive heat we are starting at sun-up and working past mid-day before taking a siesta until 6pm. It has worked well and our interns Luke and Kim have sweated it out with us, giving their all to help us harvest, pack, hoe, tie tomatoes, weed, irrigate, sow cover crops, take care of the sheep, etc.<\/p>\n

We are moving to a new carrot bed this week to bring you the annual \u201ccolorful carrots.\u201d Orange, red, and yellow, they are great for the palate and the eye. Varieties include White Satin, Yellow Sun, Dragon<\/em> (purple) and our favorite orange, Bolero<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s evening work stint has been taken over by the tomato harvest\u2019s shear volume. We hope you enjoy this week\u2019s share, one of our best tomato harvest\u2019s yet. More to come next week and we hope for a while.
We have also been spending time preparing for the Outstanding in the Field dinner this Sunday. As Ronny, the host at Justus Drugstore told us last month, \u201cIt\u2019s a big deal.\u201d We have been planning and working to show the farm in a good light and provide a subtly beautiful Missouri farm setting for the event. Some details we won\u2019t know until the dinner table arrives, so we will have to be nimble on Sunday morning when the OITF crew arrives.
Thanks again to all for your help and support. And we look forward to seeing some of you at the dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
