The last couple of weeks…… spinach, arugula, swiss chard, lettuce, endive, baby beets, peas, strawberries, how blessed we are to have such nourishing abundance on our tables at this time.  We have been extremely lucky with Mother Nature’s generous hand with the weather, and thankfully have not experienced any major catastrophic weather phenomenons.  We have had unprecedented weed crops, i really wish they were edible, alas not even tasty in a shake, but thanks to everyone who came out on the long weekend and put in some good hours teaching those weeds a thing or two. Thank you to everyone who brought delicious baked goods, lychee nuts, yes lychee nuts, what a treat!!! I think i can speak for everyone, thank you!  Enjoy the photos, and forward to family and friends so that they can see what a wonderful endeavor and community we have here at the  EOGG farm.
