It’s Farm Fact Friday, farm friends, and this week we’re sharing what we’re planting on the farm for the next few weeks. 🌱 As it’s early in the season, we’re starting with Boldero carrots, Red Noodle beans (similar to string beans), and three types of onions! We’re experimenting with succession planting on the farms this season to maintain a more steady and sustainable flow of harvesting. Follow the link in bio for more information!

Thank you to everyone who lent their time and hands for our #MLKDay volunteer days! We were able to plant a massive 9,000 onions of three varieties – red Southern Belles, White Bermudas, and yellow Texas Super Sweets. They’ll be ready in our upcoming spring harvest, and we can’t wait to share them with you!
