It’s the last full week of summer – the autumnal equinox is next week! What’s happening as we wrap up summer? Harvesting! Lots of things, including lots of gorgeous eggplant which went in last week’s CSA boxes. Look how tall some of those plants are! Some varieties have thorns too, making long sleeves and gloves […] The post News from the Farm | September 15, 2025 first appeared on Full Belly Farm.| Full Belly Farm

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.
