Game Day

Open Field Farm May 9, 2017

The fields are drying out rapidly and we are working hard to get them prepped before we lose too much moisture. We direct seeded greens, beets, carrots, and more yesterday, as well as transplanting broccoli and lettuce. Some of the crops will be ready rapidly and some take time. Still we are excited to be growing again and look forward to having more food for us all. We are hoping to get the wheat planted today, as well as fennel, scallions, pac hoy, and chicories.
