Septembe 20, 2008

Welcome to Fall!

Quite a bit has happened since we last sent out a blog (but not out in the fields because it has been so hot).

Seedlings are being transplanted into the ground and we are looking forward to a great harvest. We are not planting at Crooked Carrot this fall. All of our farming is currently at Agriptopia (northwest corner of Higley and Ray). While Agritopia has always grown their produce organically, we are now in the process of becoming a certified organic farm. That is exciting for us.

We don't have an exact date that the farm stand will open here in Agritopia but we are estimating mid October. Even more great produce than what was available at Crooked Carrot but grown with the same care and attention.

We will send out another blog when we have exact dates for the opening. In the meantime, Agritopia has an e-mail alert of their own and you can get on that e-mail list by sending a request to gayle@agritopia.com. We are setting up an Agritopia blog and will let you know when that is available, but for now it is still via e-mails.

If you haven't visited us here at Agritopia, please do. It is a beautiful, peaceful farm.

We are not closing our Crooked Carrrot Farm down. We expect to plant there in the spring but everything is still fairly tentative. Our farm stand at Crooked Carrot will not be open at all this fall - we are sorry for any inconvenience but the drive to Agritopia will be well worth it.

We hope you all had a great summer and we look forward to seeing many of you here at our new home.
