Fall goodies abound! Gourds, lanterns, and lavender, oh my! And Farmer Gretchen sorts cranberry shelling beans.

We're bringing all these and more this weekend to and

Come to the market, say hi to our hardworking staff, and pick out some veg to feed your family, even if you're a family of one human (plus however many four-leggeds and/or aquatic species you may or may not have).

Happy October, everyone!

Just a quick preview of some of the things we're bringing to market this weekend! Farmer Gretchen captured this picture of the grapes this morning... don't they look delicious?! (And they taste even better than they look!)

Look at this lovely scoop of dirt! If you're in, or going to be in, the neighborhood and would like a scoop or three, contact us and let us know. $15 per scoop. (Great for filling in holes in your yard, adding to your garden, etc.)

Also, we still have pallets of storage crates available (40 tulip bulb crates per pallet), perfect for storing just about anything (hello, canning jars... and potatoes... and winter squash... and storage onions... We see you!) and are stackable.

Just in case you were wondering, now you know: Fall is here! (It's like mother nature said, "Oh, you want/need some rain? Here is ALL the rain!")

But don't let the rain scare you away from the markets this weekend. We are bringing lots of yummy goodness, as are pretty much all of your other favorite farmers. This is a special time of the food season where we still have summer crops and are starting to bring you the fall ones. And maybe some dried flowers, like the ones we've posted here.

Come see us this weekend at ( ) and ( ). We have basil, tomatoes, arugula, grapes, cranberry shelling beans, and even some broccoli and a few Carmen sweet peppers.

Welcome to the weekend! We will be at and with several varieties of grapes, our usual tomatoes, basil, arugula, and some blackberries. Yum!

In the meantime, check out some pics from around the farm:

1 & 2. We put netting over our grapes to discourage pests (like wasps and birds) from sucking the clusters dry.

3. A lovely view from the top of the hill near a section of grapes (varieties on hill: Canadice, Reliance, Jupiter, Neptune, Lynden Blues). Below, you can see a freshly tilled field, some of our greenhouses, and the rest of the Lynden Blues.

4. Some cranberry shelling beans ripening in the field.

5. Green beans that have started to flower in one of our tunnels.

Hello, Seattle friends and faithful followers! We won't be at today, but will be attending both and this weekend.

In addition to our usual tasty treats we will also be bringing grapes! Check out the pictures of the lovely Lynden Blues which are a Concord-style grape. They're great for juicing, making jam, or general snacking (be prepared, they do have seeds). Some of our other grapes may also make an appearance (Canadice, pictured in a previous post, is light pink and had a more complex flavor profile and does not have seeds. Also look for Interlaken, a green table grape).

However... This means that there is more basil and sungolds for these markets. Hooray!

The season is changing, exemplified by our nearly empty walk-in coolers, and the grapes ripening on the vines. Tomato production has slowed way down, the basil plants are still pumping out around 20 pounds a week, and some of our fall field crops are looking lush and promising. (And there are some green beans growing in one of our tunnels so you can continue to enjoy them just a little longer!)

We're at Columbia City ( ) today, which starts at 3, and currently plan on being at our three weekend markets. Hope to see you there!

There's a little bit of all our tomatoes for our three farmers markets this weekend ( and ).

Sungolds, Stupice, Blush, Albenga, Big Beef, Early Girl, a few Black Krim, and some salsa quality tomatoes. Yum!

Plus: basil, blueberries, limited cilantro (to add to that salsa you're gonna make!), green beans, and potential other items that may jump in the van when we're not looking.

See you at the market!

Tomato season is in full swing and we just can't get enough! This week we'll also be bringing some of our "Salsa" tomatoes to our usual neighborhood farmers markets.

Reasons we grade out "salsa" tomatoes and sell them for less:

* They are ultra ripe and need to be consumed right away
* They generally look unsightly and have weird blemishes
* They're sunburned and may or may not be 100% the preferred tomato texture
* They have a small gouge and should be consumed very soon
* They have cracking along the shoulders and should be consumed very soon so they don't mold

We've done a pretty good job with our tomatoes this year and don't have a ton of salsa quality, so be sure to get to the market early to take advantage of what we've got.

See you at tomorrow!

Just look at all this lovely produce! All these things (also, can you believe we've picked nearly a half ton of tomatoes this week?!), plus blueberries, basil, a few raspberries, and whatever else happens to sneak into the vans this weekend hoping to go to market camp.

We can be found this weekend at the following markets:
