π¦ When Armadillos Attack!
Heat is apparently not the only thing we have to battle around here...
Weβve spent the last few weeks dealing with what appears to be a very determined armadillo invasion. Seed beds have been dug up, holes have appeared everywhere, and our poor garden has taken a beating.
Thankfully, Jon has been busy turning the garden into Fort Knox. π We now have chicken wire covering the bottom of the fence and extending along the ground, so hopefully our armored adversaries will decide to dine elsewhere!
But thereβs plenty of good news too:
βοΈ The cold room is officially up and running!
π‘ The farm shop has been painted and is looking more and more like an actual shop.
β‘ Our mysterious new project continues moving forward, and the new building is finally scheduled for delivery Wednesday. More details soon... π
π¦ Subscribers have a fun box this week with mushrooms, squash & zucchini, peppers, quail eggs, okra, cucumber, sweet corn, and even carrots! Big thanks to our friends at MAC Farm for supplying the mushrooms, quail eggs, and okra.
π± We also have fall seedlings available! Alex has Delicata, Winter Sweet, Spaghetti and Honeynut squash going, plus Bottle Gourds and New England Pie Pumpkins. Let us know what youβd like when ordering.
π‘ IMPORTANT: We will NOT be at Wheeler District Farmers Market this Friday due to everything currently happening with construction around the farm. Weβll miss you, Wheeler!
ποΈ We WILL be at OKC Farmers Public Market Saturday from 9 AMβ2 PM.

Thanks for sticking with us through the heat, construction, armadillos, and everything else farming throws our way.
By golly, we might just make it through the summer! π±
