The Harvest
The Harvest
We grow approximently
45 different types of vegetables, fruits and herbs. Crops
such as lettuce mix, beans, green onions and carrots for example are
planted several times during the season so we can have them available regularly
for our CSA members and farmers market customers.
We
also plant several varities of several crops such as tomatoes,
peppers and lettuce so we can offer something for everyones tastes.
In the 2008 growing season we will be planting 14 different
varities of tomatoes, everything from tiny golden cherry tomatoes to
large beefsteak varities. Our
favorite cherry tomato hands down is Golden Cherry.
This tiny orange tomato gives a flavour burst unlike
anyother cherry tomato we've grown so far. Our favorite
slicing tomatos are Golden Girl and Duchess.
The Golden girl is a large orange tomato that makes excellent
tomato sandwiches and Duchess is second in line on our favorite list
due to its firm texture and wonderful fresh flavour.
