Tubers are coming!
We’re getting ready to sell some of our beloved tubers! In this post, we explain the surprising definition of a tuber, and we talk about the storage method that works best for us.

Rain and Smoke… and Rain.
While Fable mopes indoors on a terribly smoky day, Melanie discusses the challenges of an usually unfortunate season on a new farm. Special guest star on the farm pictured: Gizmo! He’s visiting for a week and loves to help weed.
