It's one of those "been-a-while" updates....

We've been back at the farmer's market this spring and summer - yes, "we."  Except for one day off with Daddy, the kids have been there too with me.  It's a trip worth taking.  They have taken the market in stride, and it's rewarding to see them adding sums and bagging mushrooms for folks.

We still have sweet sorghum for molasses in the ground - it won't be ready till October.  The sweet potato crop was a bust this year (my fault, various reasons), but it is still struggling along and we'll have at least some.  One of our favorite things this year is taking a few flower bouquets to the market each week.

If anyone needs flat-leaf parsley, we've got it!  Give me a call.

The mushrooms are holding the farm together this year.  They are producing quite abundantly - thanks again everyone who came out to the inoculation clinics last year!  And they are beautiful and delicious to boot.

This was our first year to offer whole chicken at the market.  We sold a few of our first batch - they were all heritage breed and free range.  The next batch is still in the chicken coop, along with our 6 remaining baby guineas, including Darling (maybe a copper) and King Cowboy (a pearl), Big Silver and Little Silver, Two-tone and the last one, who I cannot recall just now.  We are also still holding a friend's young hens we've been raising, Dandelion (buff orpington), Fuzzy Face, and Fuzzy Legs.

We are just in the turn of the season where it is time to start fall crops, but a virus crept in and got us all first.  We are pretty much over that, but I am still not accomplishing much more than the bare minimum right now.  I am taking it easy on myself and just gathering steam for another push forward.

Things are changing a lot this fall - Simon starts kindergarten.  What an adventure that will be for each of us.  I think Carina is looking forward to time alone with me, and Simon is looking forward to adventure time with new friends!

See you soon my friends,
Mollie and The Crew
