People are welcome to the farm on first and third Sundays 9am to 1pm. You can harvest medicinal herbs as well as make a picnic here. Hope to see you out here soon on the first and third Sundays.

In the spirit of What's On Your Table?... the other question is What's On Your Stove? and then What's On Your Table? Of course! So here I took all my leftover tomatoes and peppers to saute them in olive oil to make my own spaghetti sauce. Grew my own herbs too. How about you?

Summer session of Global Farm Kids ended with a Harvest Party. Not only did the harvest items throughout the Food Forest to take home they also made veggie kabobs to eat, including slicing up their veggies and making an avocado hummus. Great fun!

Chickens are getting well fed at our farm. They get greens, grains, proteins. They get a variety of food scraps too. They get lots of vegetables from postharvest. You can come visit on the third Sunday if each month for our Community Gatherings at the farm. You can feed the chickens, harvest herbs to take home and bring food to share at our 1pm potlucks on the third Sunday each month. The next potluck is this Sunday, August 16th. The culture being featured is Japanese food.

Thanks to Coastal RCD Rhaelyn and Raymond were able to do an irrigation analysis at the farm.

Checking on compost tea application on two plots of kale. Some signs of improvement on one plot but the second plot had so much damage from.Cabbage Looper that they may not improve even with the compost tea, neem oil and organic fertilizer. Will try another apication soon.

Nice people came to.the fall planting workshop yesterday August 2nd. We discussed frost dates and growing days to determine what can be planted in August and September and October. We planted lettuce and onions, sowed seeds to take home, and also fava bean seeds were shared for cover cropping.

Part 3 video of the compost tea preparation! The last step involves diluting the brew to 4:1 ratio of water to the compost tea and then putting into spray tanks. I sprayed lots of veggies that needed assistance with their overall health. Also soil drench around fruit trees to help with soil health. The micronutrients in the compost tea will aid soil microbes in increasing the decomposition process and nutrient cycling.
