June 2025

Thanks to everyone who came to our spring plant sale! 

Now that it's summer, we're working on harvesting fruit for our jams and jellies, and tending the bees. Later, tomatoes, garlic, onions, etc. will go into the salsa. 

We will be at the Crystal Farmer's Market each week. (Tuesdays from 3-6:30 pm mid-June through September. It's at the Crystal Community Center, 4800 Douglas. )

Things for sale:

Raw honey - pints (22 oz.) $9, quarts (46 oz.) $18. Some other sizes are also available.

Home-canned goods (in glass):

• Salsa (mild or medium)

• Tomato soup (regular or spicy)

• later in the season we'll have applesauce

Jams & jellies ($6/half pint). 

• Raspberry jam

• Apricot jam

• Cherry jam

• Cherry rhubarb jam

• Mulberry jam

• Wild plum jelly

• Mint jelly

All are from our own unsprayed fruit and use organic sugar. We keep it really simple.

Around the farm:

We're almost done tying about 2,000 little bags around the developing apples. It sounds a lot, but it's better than spraying them for bugs. 

The bees are recovering after a rough winter, and are flying around gathering nectar and pollen. The honey harvest may be light this year, but there will be one.

The  garlic is up and we've started to pick the scapes. Regular garlic bulbs will be in July.

Tomatoes and peppers are coming along - they'll ripen when we get hot days and warm nights.
