As mentioned last week, this is the time of year to plant our fall crops. So far, we’ve direct seeded beets, carrots, and spinach (more about that process here), and have transplanted broccoli and leeks, with many more to come. These cool weather crops don’t like the heat, but we have to start them now. […] The post News from the Farm | August 25, 2025 first appeared on Full Belly Farm.| Full Belly Farm
While keeping incredibly busy harvesting summer produce, we’ve also got fall on our minds and lots of fall prep on our To Do lists! We’re starting to cut and cure winter squash. The first samples showed up in the office last week.

It’s estimated that there are 50,000 pepper varieties grown worldwide. We grow only a small portion of that diverse world. What we grow changes every year – I’ve conducted a pepper census and here’s the 2025 list: Sweet Hot For those who like a game – how many can you ID in the photos below?

Hello from the tomato field! It’s more of a sea of tomatoes, or perhaps a jungle. If we didn’t use a hedge trimmer to keep things tidy, the vines would grow so wild that the rows would be impassable. The air smells like tomatoes, and many happy and industrious spiders have strung webs between the| Full Belly Farm - Certified Organic Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers & Wool Since 1985
The weekly newsletter is a great opportunity to share who we are, what we’re doing, things that we’re thinking about, and more. Yet it’s impossible to capture everything going on. Given all that’s happening, each week presents an infinite number of possible topics for our newsletter, an exciting position to be in, albeit a bit […] The post News from the Farm | July 14, 2025 first appeared on Full Belly Farm.| Full Belly Farm
Potatoes, much like onions and garlic, seem to be ever present in stores, farmers markets, and even in our CSA boxes. Their ubiquity masks that, like most crops, they have specific growing and harvest seasons. We grow two potato crops. We plant our spring crop in mid-February and the fall crop in mid-August. The fall […] The post News from the Farm | July 7, 2025 first appeared on Full Belly Farm.| Full Belly Farm
We are a highly diversified farm, growing countless types of vegetables, fruits, and flowers and even within a single type of vegetable, often many varieties of each. We don’t just grow food for humans though; we’re also growing food for countless soil microorganisms and macroorganisms, including our sheep!

This Friday is the first day of summer and we’re (almost) ready. The gang’s all here (almost). Last week, right on cue, several of the summer classics were ready to start harvesting. Too many to document but it gives a glimpse of what you can find this week at one of our Farmers Markets and| Full Belly Farm - Certified Organic Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers & Wool Since 1985
Wow - the end of May already? This notoriously busy month has been quite the whirlwind of activity, and it marks one of our many seasonal shifts. It’s a month that includes plenty of elements of spring, but this is in combination with lots of time-sensitive preparation for summer. The temperatures have risen and the| Full Belly Farm - Certified Organic Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers & Wool Since 1985
I think there’s only one word to describe last week: HOT. The coolest high temperature was Monday when it still got above 100, and it only got hotter as the week went on. Being outside when it’s 110 or above feels similar to the blast of hot, dry air you get when you open the| Full Belly Farm - Organic Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers & Wool
