that have dried and are ready to thrash.
Farmer Julieanna "Stewart" took advantage of the abundance
of squash and suddenly the Ford was sprouting mushrooms galore!
We have trained wild trailing blackberries and boy are they producing!
These are indeed the most flavorful of all blackberries!
At the market with the trailer and Julieanna! She runs the business end of the operations.
The Farmall H and Grandpa Wilbur's John Deere Squash trailer ready for a day of picking!
Inside fact - the trailer was our largest wedding present (thanks Dale and Liz!)
Yellow Crookneck Summer Squash picked at their most tender stages.
A bouquet of sunflowers I picked in the hopes of bringing
a bit of sunshine during the dead of winter.
The sunflowers!
Lettuce Mix is our top-seller at market.
Customers love the peppery zip the nasturtium blossoms bring to the mix!
During the harvest of Rockwell Beans -
note the beans on the tarp and the pods drying behind them.
The shelled pods are in the foreground.
Here are the Rockwell Beans growing during the summer.
We thought we were pretty cool growing 29 rows of beans!
Little did we know we would almost sell out!
Early during the summer the Rockwells were just setting their beans.
Why carve a pumpkin? Why not scab it instead?
Simply scoring the surface of a squash several weeks before harvest
results in a very personal pumpkin that lasts till Christmas in some cases.
Winter onions do amazingly well on the prairie.
There are Red Bull, Prince, White Waxing, and Yellow onions.
Gold of Bacau pole beans were an amzingly delicate bean... Watch out! What a hit!
We love working with our good friend Georgie Smith (sitting) from Willowood Farm.
Julieanna sometimes looks serious...
Leeks were one of our most faithful crops, as they lived through a transplant during the heat of summer -
and are still producing in January!
FAVAS!!!!
Crystal White Wax Onions were mild and used for everything in the kitchen.
The pies are going to be outstanding this year as we have an abundance of berries coming on.
Had some fun with beets this year -
Red Ace is a nice name, but late one night I re-named them
"Mary Queen of Scots" as they were beets with their heads removed.
Red Ace, Chioggia, Golden Detroit, Cylindrica...
We found another unique variety to try out this year.
Evergreen Bunching Onions - these were so abundant!
