Passata

High & Dry Farm sold 100 lbs of tomatoes last week, but we failed to sell 10 lbs of Fiaschetto di Manduria. That’s good news, because this variety is traditionally used in Puglia to produce passata, the quintessential tomato sauce. 20 minutes work produced 4 quarts of magnificent passata.

Summer vegetables arrive at High & Dry Farm’s self-serve farmstand.

Our farmstand at 32814 120th St. SE, Sultan, now has tomatoes, new potatoes, fresh sweet and red onions, and radishes. Summer squash, cucumbers, and more will go on sale later this week. Everything we sell is certified organic and grown on our farm. The farmstand is open every day during daylight hours. You may pay with cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Paypal.

Fresh Spring Greens!

Spring’s first fresh garden produce is here! Visit High & Dry Farm’s self-serve farmstand to buy fresh certified organic vegetables, presently including head lettuce, arugula, and spinach. We also have certified organic tomato starts.

You may just drop by, and purchase whatever is presently stocked at the stand and pay with cash, Zelle, Paypal or Venmo.

Or, you may order on-line here https://grownby.com/farms/high-dry-farm/shop paying by credit card, in which case your veg will be freshly picked just for you and available for pickup late that day or the next morning.

The calendar says Spring has arrived. Really?

Left shows our farm a week ago. Right shows baby onions and lettuce transplanted into our high tunnel the same day. If the rabbits and voles don’t eat every plant, and if we have a few days of sunshine, these should flourish. Check back in a few months to see how we did.

Spring is heating up

And so is our farmstand.

Here is what is presently available at our farmstand. Order these items on-line here –> https://grownby.app/farms/high-dry-farm/shop then pick them up the following day at the farmstand. A few of these items will be kept in stock at the farmstand for in-person purchase.

Rodent-Proof Your Greenhouse: New Year’s Rebuild

We sure know how to celebrate the New Year! We just finished rebuilding our propagation house benches.

Several weeks ago, voles ate nearly 2000 baby veg plants in our propagation green house.
Never again! We rebuilt the heated benches with metal pipe legs that rodents can’t climb and little sheet metal barriers to prevent rodents from jumping aboard.
Here are another 2000 plants newly seeded, including lettuces, spinach, and cilantro. About a month from now they will be ready to transplant into our high tunnel greenhouses.
