Days are getting shorter and colder, but farm work never stops. Our three high tunnel greenhouses are being planted with cold-hardy vegetables for Spring harvest.
Autumn on the Farm
Winter squash harvest signals autumn is approaching.
High & Dry Farm harvested 200 pounds of buttercup and kabocha squash today. These will be cured for 10 days before they are offered for sale at our farmstand and at the Snohomish Farmers Market. 400 pounds of acorn and butternut squashes will be harvested next week. Also coming soon – pickling cucumbers.
Please bear with us.
The bad news is that a bear ate 100 pounds of ripe tomatoes in High & Dry Farm’s main high tunnel greenhouse
The good news is that the greenhouse has a new door.
A new look at the Farmers Market
We have new tablecloths for our display at the Snohomish Farmers Market. Pretty traditional, I think.
Burgeoning Harvests
At High and Dry Farm, our backs are aching from picking and packing hundreds of pounds of vegetables each day. Figs, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini are all in peak season and bushels of Italian prune plums will ripen this week.
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.
Cukes are here!
High & Dry Farm is now picking cucumbers daily from vines that are absolutely loaded with fruit.
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.
Tater Patch
High & Dry Farm’s potato plantings looks great this year! We should begin harvesting new potatoes in a few weeks.
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.
