July 7 Farm Stand

It's raspberry season!

It was just three short years ago that we packed up our house, loaded the U-haul, and said goodbye to the crusty brown grass and triple-digit temps of Texas.

Or not.

The lack of rain coupled with this heat is bringing us back to the our days in the Lone Star State. It's been brutal - on the plants, the animals, and us (well, mainly Brett). Thankfully, we got some decent rain this week and, fortunately, it did not come with damage like many places in Virginia and the D.C. area.

On the bright side, the hoop house is finally finished and we can now focus more on the day-to-day operations of the farm. All the summer produce is looking good - cukes, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers.

It's expected to climb to 100 degrees tomorrow so we're still setting up the farm stand, but we may bow out a little early if it gets too ferocious. So come early and make sure you get some of the beautiful raspberries we have this week!

Here's the full list we'll have this Saturday, 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. (or earlier) in Blawnox. We accept cash and Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) checks
