There’s always one day in late August when the crew heads out to harvest, buckets and bins in hand, not knowing that a morning’s work will add up to over a half ton of produce. The feeling catches up with you by the end of the week if not by the end of the day. Seriously, give it up for the crew if you have a chance. The fruits of their labor are in wide array and full display this weekOur tomatoes are at their literal peak. The Heirlooms, Beefsteaks and Cherries have doubled in yield over last week, along with another steady pick of Romas. This means that the BULK SALE will continue this week: 10 lb Boxes of Romas for $35 as well as 6 Pint Cases of Mixed Cherry Tomatoes for $33. Make yourselves some salads, salsas, sauces, freeze some whole or enjoy a nice roasted treat down the road.  Or share some with a friend...or take some to someone special.  You never know what they'll say, but it just might sound something like, "Thank you. I love them, and I love you."

The farm is bursting with goodness, thanks to the hundreds of pounds of glorious tomatoes that are ripe and ready to eat this week at Wild Hare. Our greenhouse heirlooms are ripening more and more each day, along with the candylike wonder of our rainbow of cherry tomatoes. And if that wasn’t the proverbial cherry on top, the the crew got a nice BIG pick of the Roma Tomatoes today. So, it is officially time to feast on some now and start thinking about stashing away a bit of Summer goodness to enjoy later on. Starting this week, we’ll be packing up cases of beautiful Romas (10 lbs for $35). So, get ready to feast on tomatoes, make a quick sauce for dinner, or maybe share some seasonal goodness, fresh or prepared, with a friend or loved one. Cases will be available first come, first serve over the next few weeks.

After working our way through a hot and smoky week, I’ve got exciting news to share—we’re harvesting our first ears of Wild Hare Organic Sweet Corn in the morning! It is our preferred practice to pick our corn same day so that it as fresh and sweet as possible by the time folks take it home. Mark and shucked an ear or two in the field at around 8pm last night, right after we’d walked to the far fields to count heads of Cone Cabbage. I’m not saying it is everyone’s idea of dessert, but those kernels were a super sweet treat on their own. The crew had a formidable haul of fresh Cucumbers waiting for them today, along with their quotidian pick of Zucchini and Romano Beans. They’re also taking a first real pass through the Tomato house for slicers and heirlooms in the morning. We’re still sitting on plenty of green ones that have yet to fully ripen (ugh!), so we’re not ready to open up bulk sales just yet. So hold onto those canning jars for now…or fill them with Spicy Dilly Romano Beans or a small batch of Sauerkraut in the meantime.
