MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 43/52 of 2022
Dear Farm Members,
For the past month or so, the chorus from our field managers (Cory and Jake) has been about fervently seeding cover crop. Cover cropping is an important part of protecting our soil from eroding over the rainy season and part of putting our fields to rest for the winter. Since that rainy season hasn't started yet, we'll be running irrigation to prepare the fields, seeding the cover crop and irrigating again to get a good germination and coverage from the cover crop. We'll also be here, patiently waiting for the rain in the long term forecast to materialize.
Many fall gems are making their way into the shares this week, including long awaited celery and napa cabbage. We hope you enjoy!
