We’re trying an experiment with our Potato crop this year, in an attempt to outsmart our biggest Potato nemesis, the Colorado Potato Beetle. Colorado Potato Beetles (CPB) are the most destructive pest for our Potato crop every year, munching aggressively on the leaves and stunting Potato development underground or killing the plants completely. CPBs overwinter in the ground and emerge in late spring, usually in perfect time to attack our young and vulnerable Potato crop.

In early April we planted a small crop of Potatoes that we intend to harvest soon for New Potatoes, but held off until this week on planting the bulk of our almost 2 acres of Potatoes. In the farming world, mid-June is a very strange time to be planting Potatoes. But by waiting so late, we’re betting that most of the CPBs who overwintered in our soils have died off after finding no all-you-can-eat salad bar when they woke up in May. And we’re hoping that by making an unexpected move in the long game against CPB, instead of just being reactive, we will reduce their overall numbers on the farm for following seasons, too. Fingers crossed.

PYO Strawberries cancelled

After much consideration, we are sad to announce that we won’t be offering Pick Your Own Strawberries open to the public this season. Given the current Covid situation, we don’t think we could safely manage large numbers of people picking, and successfully enforce the many new rules we have implemented for our own harvest crew to reduce the risk of Covid transmission. We’ll still have berries available for purchase at the Farmstand, at the Markets, and for online pre-order, as well as in the CSA shares and in the Organic Harvest Box.
