Winter Squash are Now Available
We have completed harvesting our several tons of butternuts, and they are now in storage waiting on orders! We also have smaller crops of other winter squash available too. So far we have also stored our spaghetti squash, acorn squash, and some of our kuri. Up next is delicata, red kabocha and grey kabocha, and acorn squash.
Cheers!

What has been going on lately...
Over the last few years, we welcomed Simon, and then our second child, Carina last year, to the farm. We are currently not attending any tailgate markets due to practicality. This has been a good year for us though, and we have been going strong and actually keeping up pretty well, mainly thanks to Anthony's help, and the help of our tractor! The kids are a big part of our operation - working hours are limited by heat and naps :)
The kids doing well largely growing up outside. We don't have a television or fancy phones (except daddy's). Their screen time is behind an etch-a-sketch. But they can show you where the box turtle lays its eggs, where the indigo buntings and the wrens nested this year, which heirloom apple trees are strong enough to climb, and he could probably get up to the game camera by themselves to retrieve the card and see what's been up on the old logging road. Simon has taught himself how to catch butterflies, and is successful pretty much anytime he wants. Carina loves her dog and her brother, possibly in that order, and likes to keep up with all of us. She has a good grasshopper snatching hand and can pick up butternuts in the field and put them in the bag with the best of them.
We are currently selling wholesale through the Manna Cabana here in Saluda. We pull up every Wednesday morning, sometimes a little later on than other times - depending on how muddy or wet the kids got while they waited on me to process the greens. Currently, we are providing shiitake mushrooms, blueberries, three types of kale (curly, red Russian, and dinosaur), and fresh-cut basil. We still have some summer crops lined up and have also just harvested several tons of butternut, and smaller crops of acorn and spaghetti squash. We are in the midst of collecting other winter squash varieties and getting ready to plant our fall crops soon.
