Winter 2026 #6/10: Purple Sprouting Broccoli & Inclement Weather Info

Feast your eyes and your tummies, because it looks like we got around to harvesting the second flourish of Purple Sprouting Broccoli right in the nick of time! Successfully harvesting PSB in Winter is starting to feel like finding a four-leaf clover. If the sweet little purple florets needed to endure one more night of frost, we might not have been so lucky. The forecasts show that the next few days are going to be flat out cold and yucky. Maybe freezing rain, maybe lowland flurries, maybe much ado and a whole lot of nothing. But, I do know that between the PSB, winter Radishes and Frozen Blueberries from Sunrise Farm, we’ll have the chance to serve up a little pop of color an otherwise grey day.

Have a great week,
Katie

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT INCLEMENT WEATHER…

If snow, ice or wind lead to dangerous road conditions or power outages here at the farm, we will act in the spirit of keeping customers and crew safe and sound.

In the event that our hours or plans change, I will notify folks of any closures using as many of the following methods as possible:

  • Updating the farm Voice Mail Message (253) 778-6257

  • Posting updates to our Facebook & Instagram pages

  • Sending an Email Blast (if we have electricity and internet access)

  • Posting an update to our Website (if we have electricity and internet access)

    … so feel free to check ahead before you make the drive if things look dicey.  And know that if closures are necessary, we will figure out a way to make it up to you!
