As we head into the season, things are already moving behind the scenes on our farms. Fields are being prepped, early crops are going in, and everyone is getting ready for the summer ahead.

But this time of year always comes with a level of uncertainty—especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Today, we were planning to lay plastic in the fields to get our early crops started. But with the ground still too wet, we had to hold off. It’s one of those decisions farmers face all the time—wait and risk falling behind, or push forward and risk doing more harm than good.

Now, with freezing temperatures expected tonight, it adds another layer of concern. Early plantings like corn and tomatoes can be vulnerable, and a single cold night can set things back.

Farming isn’t just about planting and harvesting—it’s about timing, patience, and constantly adjusting to conditions you can’t control. Some crops are protected, some may be at risk, and sometimes it comes down to hoping everything pulls through.

For now, like many farmers this time of year, we’re watching the weather closely and doing what we can to stay ahead.

We’ll keep you updated as the season progresses, and we can’t wait to bring you the fresh, local produce you look forward to every summer.

It’s moments like these that remind us just how much goes into every harvest.
