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.

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
Last week’s cooler weather had many of us remarking that it felt more like fall than what we’d expect for peak summer days.

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
